Also, I developed hardware fault injection platforms for Xilinx FPGAs including Virtex-5 and 7-series FPGAs. I have participated in the Brazilian NanosatC-BR2 project, developing part of the UFRGS scientific payload and currently, I am developing the RDCU unit for ESA PLATO mission. I also have good writing and presentation skills developed under more than six years writing scientific p...
