Work History
Sr. Systems Engineer
Accord Software & Systems Pvt. Ltd. July 2011 to Present
Notice Period: 2 Months
Project Details
Project Name: Generic Handheld GNSS receiver Jan 2016 to Present
Processors/FPGA used: Xilinx ZYNQ-7000, Xilinx Artix7
Protocols: UART, RS232, Ethernet, SPI, SPORT, Parallel, USB, I2C, ARINC, MIL, DDR, SD CARD
Description: The objective of the project is to develop a sophisticated, reliable and rugged
receiver system which is capable of continuously acquiring and tracking satellite signals from
various constellations like IRNSS, GPS, GLONASS, BEIDOU, GALILEO, QZSS and SBAS to provide
accurate signal measurements. The product also has a display unit interfaced to receiver.
Contribution:
 Schematic design development of the mixed signal PCB with Analog, Digital and Power
section in a single PCB

2.  Power and temperature analysis of the card
 PCB placements and routing review
 Design validation of power circuits using simulation tools like LT spice
 Documentations like SES, HDD
Project Name: IRNSSGPSSBAS Receiver March 2014 to Dec 2015
Processors/FPGA used: Analog devices SHARC 21369, Xilinx ARTIX 7
Client: SAC, ISRO
Protocols: UART, RS232, SPI, SPORT, Parallel, I2C
Description: The objective of the project is to create a high performance GNSS receiver
capable of acquiring and tracking IRNSS - L5 and S band, GPS - L1 C/A and SBAS (GAGAN)
signals. The position and other information are sent through an Ethernet and RS232.
Contribution:
 Schematic design development and testing of the mixed signal PCB with Analog, Digital
and Power section in a single PCB
 PCB placements and routing review
 Power and temperature analysis of the card
 Design validation of power circuits using simulation tools like LT spice.
 Documentations like SES, HDD, STP, ATP, ATR and User guide
 Environmental Tests - Temperature, Humidity, Vibration, Shock, EMI-EMC (RE, CE, RS-
103, CS-103)
Project Name: IRNSS Reference Receiver June 2012 to Feb 2014
Processor/FPGA used: Analog devices SHARC 21369, Xilinx SPARTAN 6 and VERTEX 6
Client: ISTRAC and IDSN, ISRO
Protocols: UART, RS232, Ethernet, SPI, SPORT, Parallel
Description: The objective of the project is to develop a sophisticated and reliable receiver
system used in a Ground monitoring station capable of continuously tracking and monitoring
the IRNSS satellite signals and its health. The product has Ethernet and RS232 communication
to display the information on a GUI and it is also capable of providing time output in IEEE 1588
format. Receiver is also protected against Multipath & Evil Waveforms.
Contribution:
 Complete schematic design development and testing of baseband card
 Schematic design development and testing of motherboard to meet the specification of
multi card architecture
 Power and temperature analysis of the cards
 PCB placements and routing review
 Design validation of power circuits using simulation tools like LT spice
 Implementation of Multipath Mitigation algorithms.
 Mechanical chassis design review
 Documentations like SES, HDD and User guide
 Temperature and humidity testing

3. Project Name: Control saturation warning system (CSWS) July 2011 to May 2012
Controller used: NXP semiconductor - MPC5674F.
Client: HAL
Protocols: UART, RS232, SPI
Description: The objective of the project is to create a stand-alone, real time airworthy system
capable of interfacing various input and output sensors/systems of Helicopter, implementing
linear/ non-linear control laws. The product detects control saturations based on the HAL
desired algorithm and provide audio and visual warnings to the pilot to take immediate
controls/action when flight conditions exceed a predetermined limit.
Contribution:
 Power and temperature analysis of the cards
 Testing of CSWS unit
 Reliability and FMEA analysis to improve the design robustness
Tools Used
