Work Background
Sunstone RTLSFPGA Engineer
Mar. 2021 - Jun. 2021Budapest, Budapest, HungaryI created an FPGA IP core for this company from scratch for a custom Xilinx Artix-7 platform, that they used to gather multiple serial channels into one Ethernet stream to be processed on a personal computer. I tested the product during development too, and in cooperation with the company I set up a testing interface inside the IP core too. This latter proved to be very useful as the product proved to be erroneous on their live system even though it was flawless on my simulations and hardware tests at home. The error was found within days, and lately the company owner reported that it still operates flawlessly on their products.
I-Deal KftSoftware Engineer
May. 2014 - Aug. 2014Budapest, Budapest, HungaryI worked as an embedded software tester in this position. My role was to find a solution to why the unit tests don't properly run on the embedded processor. I found out, that they violated their own memory management unit's rules, which they did not find out for years. This information probably didn't make it to higher management, as I realized it the last week of my probational period, after which the company terminated my employment.
Wigner Research CenterFPGA Engineer
Aug. 2010 - Aug. 2011Budapest, Budapest, HungaryAt this contract position my task was to connect a custom built camera with a personal computer with the help of commercially bought IP cores through a 10Gbit/s link. I couldn't finish it before the contract ended, which I didn't find attractive to lengthen due to financial reasons.
EricssonFPGA Engineer
Jun. 2009 - Aug. 2009Budapest, Budapest, HungaryEricsson is The Company that tells what it sells and sells what it tells. Unfortunatly I was still a beginner on the field of FPGA programming, so I couldn't advance with two simultaneous projects assigned to me, and the company decided that I was not skilled enough for their needs.
BoschFPGA Engineer
Jun. 2008 - Jul. 2008Budapest, Budapest, HungaryBosch lets its employees sign a contract that implies they can't leave for two years, unless they pay refund for the company's education. Since I already had a track record of job hopping, the manager decided not to begin with my education until the probational period expires, and the two year period begins. This obviously meant it was unknown whether the job didn't suit me, or me the job, before it would have been too late. Furthermore in the meantime they assigned analogue ASIC development tasks to me, while that is not part of my expertise. When I reminded them of our contract, the answer was that getting a task matching my skills was meant to be the bonus if I do other things well.
EastinwestTeam Manager
Mar. 2008 - Apr. 2008Budapest, Budapest, HungaryDue to my financial management related university studies, I calculated for this private investment firm, that their plan to spread internet via WiMax around Budapest to localities not covered by major cellular providers back then, was not meant to return enough profit on the investment. It was only a very rough estimation but already that made the venture look far from reality.
Avnet EmbeddedSales Engineer
Jul. 2007 - Oct. 2007Budapest, Budapest, HungaryThis was an electronics part trading company called MSC, that seemingly has been aquired eversince. I wanted to try myself as a sales engineer if that had already been what leaders at Siemens wanted to assign me for - based on some psychological results supposedly found out on a team building event. But it wasn't for me. Calling clients asking them whatever they were building and bugging them to buy what they, as skilled engineers could obviously find out on their own, was a mistaken policy from my point of view. I tried to explain the manager that an online store with up to date pricing could have been developed and backed by us employees, but that met deaf ears. At least I have learned about the hungarian FPGA market, and realized that my career was in great trouble.
SiemensSoftware Engineer
Mar. 2007 - Jun. 2007Budapest, Budapest, HungarySo after Sagax, for Siemens has offered over twice their wage to hire me back, I switched again. Unfortunatly this was the time as the company had some serious unlawful fiscal issues, and all employees all over the world were advised to apply serious measures to help law enforcement, and serious punishments were set up even for accidentially deleting an email for example. This really overwhelmed me at that young age.
Sagax CommunicationsFPGA Engineer
Jan. 2007 - Mar. 2007Budapest, Budapest, HungaryI got hired at this R&D company for a real FPGA position, which I didn't realize at the time, how invaluable that should have become for my career. Instead I concentrated on the low wage they paid and on some misunderstanding regarding unplanned overtime that occured right on the second week and didn't resolve throughout months.
SiemensSoftware Developer
Jul. 2005 - Oct. 2006Budapest, Budapest, HungaryI was hired here for FPGA maintenenace, but the transfer of that job was cancelled, so I worked in system testing until the company expressed its desire to promote me to a sales engineer position, which I rejected, and so I had to quit.
