• Worked as part of Removable product group's system design team(SD/uSD) with focus on designing and development of new features to meet continuous demand of increasing capacity and performance.
• Provided feasibility analysis, estimations and generated requirements list for next gen uSD controller taking into consideration power, performance and cost.
• Mentored and trained 4 fresh graduates to work in the team
• Worked in uSD controller architecture design and development with ASIC SoC team, discussing detailed specifications for individual IPs features and the system as whole.
• Worked on increasing the read/write performance for uSD cards through optimizing the firmware paths and reordering the NAND sequences to have higher throughput.
• Provided an elaborate firmware workaround for a controller issue impacting quite a lot of modules in firmware
• Delivered the 1TB capacity uSD card (highest capacity in smallest form factor) while working through different challenges of thermals, system performance and compatibility issues.
• Worked on Proof of Concept for different innovative ideas with single handedly modifying the firmware code. Got awarded in Town Hall Meeting for the achievement.
• Complete understanding of SD/uSD protocol and FAT with hands on lab experience in using oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers, NAND debug tools and multiple proprietary setups/softwares for failure analysis of SD/uSD cards.
