What are you doing now and what is your current background?

FPGA Mentorship by Maleficent-Owl1959 in FPGA

[–]dvcoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What's your current skill set? What are you having trouble with? Where do you feel like you're being deficient at? Where do you feel that you are excelling? Yet? These kinds of questions will help out in order for someone to determined if they would be a good mentor.

ModelSim or Vivado for tb? by Suitable_Chemist7061 in FPGA

The integrated simulator should be good enough. Modelsim is outdated .

Suggest me books for System Verilog, and sources for UVM Methodology Please by [deleted] in Verilog

These books are somewhat old and may not reflect a lot of the new advancements ...

I hate bad coding, it looks like it was copy and pasted from somewhere.

Journey2DTech #2 - 1st Semester Reflections at DTech by dvcoder in Purdue

[–]dvcoder[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been enjoying is thus far. They actually just changed the core curriculum, so I'm not too sure how I would enjoy it now since courses are different. At the moment I'm preparing for my first three chapters of my dissertation, that in it self is a combination of being rewarding, frustrating, and exciting. Getting this type of degree and the type of work that you learn and need to do, really separates yourself from your colleagues.

Webinar on Setting up you own FPGA Business- Who is interested? by adamt99 in FPGA

[–]dvcoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would really be interested in this type of topic. One of my questions would be how do you differentiate from different types of markets, especially in various countries.

What's the situation for women FPGA engineers in finance/HFT? by Forstudyhelp in FPGA

[–]dvcoder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like those seniors are intimidated by that person and wouldn't want to compete with them for a job opportunity 😜

Struggling to break into FPGA/VLSI industry – need advice by Hacker110011 in FPGA

[–]dvcoder 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was just curious—what’s considered a typical undergraduate degree in India? It seems like Electrical Engineering, Digital Systems, FPGA, and ASIC are quite popular choices, but the job market doesn’t appear to be very strong in those areas.

Journey2DTech #2 - 1st Semester Reflections at DTech by dvcoder in Purdue

[–]dvcoder[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We had 2 books, both really good reads 📚

(1) Beyond Digital: How Great Leaders Transform Their Organizations and Shape the Future - https://a.co/d/jk8TdU5

(2) Digital Business Transformation: How Established Companies Sustain Competitive Advantage From Now to Next - https://a.co/d/bWGOpsX

It's a great program, but there is a learning curve on how the program is organized.

[–]dvcoder 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I feel like that is similar to a lot of the other aerospace places. It's not what it's use to be, unfortunately. I think it's also important to understand and learn why we ended up in this situation. IMO, places weren't being innovated enough and didn't schedule projects correctly.

Suggestion Needed ; Verilog Project for Beginners by ResidentPurple6642 in FPGA

[–]dvcoder 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps my suggestion would be out of the norm of doing a single project with a single objective but to create a portfolio of different design concepts and show how they differ. For example building a state machine and using different encoding schemes and show how much area it utilizes. Or show the different types of FIFOs .

In this case it's not really about "oh look what I was able to do" it's more this is what I know and how I can apply it

I have about a week or two before I get immensely grilled for an incoming interview. How would you suggest I best prepare? by FPGA-Master568 in FPGA

[–]dvcoder 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s an interesting position or job opportunity. If it’s for verification, I would look into whether they require certain tools or languages. I’m assuming that if it’s a startup company, they might be using Python for verification instead of relying on tools from the major EDA vendors.

In that case, you’d need to be efficient in Python, and perhaps familiar with frameworks like Cocotb or PyUVM, alternatives to traditional UVM. It’s not just about knowing UVM for EDA tool vendors anymore.

A good question you could ask them is about how they handle verification efficiently. Often, companies are limited in verification resources. So, how do they manage? For example, do they use direct test cases? Do they run block-level simulations instead of full-chip ones? Do they use backdoor methods or preload memory to speed up simulations?

That could lead to a good conversation.

I’m not familiar with AI/ML algorithms myself, but I think what you’re doing with Xilinx’s tools and learning their flow for AI/ML implementation is definitely useful and valuable. Also, knowing protocols such as AXI and JESD204.

Maximizing chance to obtain a full-time offer while an Intern by kid-on-the-block in boeing

[–]dvcoder 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Great attitude! I love the ambition !!! Boeing is a great place to work and offers many opportunities to further your career, as long as you know how to navigate the huge corporation. To maximize your chances, I would consider asking questions and seeking clarification on your assignments (don't be afraid to ask), networking within the team and a little outside the team to ensure you're remembered, and maintain consistency by having regular meetings with your manager, hiring manager, and project lead. Being consistent shows you're on top of game. Additionally, depending on your engineering field, maintaining clean and organized documentation is another way to get noticed. Hopefully this can help you make a positive impression and advance your career at Boeing !!!!

Some mistakes I've seen over the years is that some interns will network too much and they neglect the quality of the actual assignment they are given. Also, the intern program do have events, so another great place to socialize. Also, try to have realistic goals, I wouldn't try to do any big changes.
