Embedded Systems \| VLSI & RTL Verification \| Robotics \| RISC\-V, STM32, ESP32, Verilog \| ECE @ SRM \| Seeking Embedded/VLSI/Robotics Internship

## About

I'm a pre\-final year Electronics and Communication Engineering student \(SRMIST\) building across the full stack of embedded hardware — from RTL design and verification to firmware and real\-time robotics control\. What I work on: • VLSI / RTL Design & Verification — Designed and verified a RISC\-V single\-cycle processor core and extended it into a pipelined architecture with AXI4 bus interfacing and a cache subsystem, using Verilog HDL and self\-checking testbenches in Vivado/ModelSim\. • Embedded Systems & Robotics — Built a PID\-controlled self\-balancing robot \(ESP32 \+ MPU6050\) and a real\-time gesture\-control interface \(OpenCV \+ MediaPipe \+ ESP32\), covering sensor fusion, motor control, and firmware debug with UART/I2C/SPI\. • Computer Vision & AI — Trained and fine\-tuned YOLOv8 object\-detection models at MiBOT Ventures, and built an edge\-AI \+ IoT train safety monitoring system with a live web dashboard\. Hands\-on experience: ✅ Embedded intern at EmCog Solutions — STM32/ESP32 firmware, sensor integration, hardware debug with oscilloscopes/multimeters ✅ VLSI design intern at Phoenix Solutions — Verilog RTL design, testbench\-based functional verification ✅ Computer vision engineer at MiBOT Ventures — YOLOv8 model training and evaluation ✅ Python developer at Coding Raja Technologies Certified in VLSI Chip Design, ARM Cortex\-M Architecture, Python Programming, and C/C\+\+ Programming, with a published paper on V2X \(Vehicle\-to\-Everything\) Communication\. Active member of IETE\. I'm most excited by problems at the intersection of hardware and intelligence — autonomous systems, EVs, and next\-gen silicon\. Looking for an Embedded Systems, VLSI, or Robotics internship where I can contribute from day one and keep learning fast\. Open to connecting with founders, engineers, and recruiters working in embedded systems, VLSI/semiconductors, robotics, or EV tech — always happy to talk shop or collaborate on a hardware project\.

## Work experience

Embedded intern at Emcog solution, Jun 2025 \- Jul 2025 · 2 mos, Chennai, Designed and tested embedded firmware on STM32 and ESP32, configuring UART, I2C, and SPI peripherals to drive sensor and motor control circuits\. Diagnosed hardware\-level faults using oscilloscopes and multimeters, and delivered two working demos — a PID\-controlled self\-balancing robot and a real\-time gesture\-control interface — by integrating IMU sensor data with closed\-loop control loops\. Key skills applied: Microcontroller programming \(STM32, ESP32, Arduino\) · Sensor fusion · Real\-time PID control · IoT workflows

Member at IETE, Oct 2024 \- Jul 2025 · 10 mos, Chennai, Active member of the Institution of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineers, engaging with the broader ECE community on emerging trends in electronics, communication, and embedded systems\.

VLSI design at EDUPHOENIX SOLUTIONS, Jun 2024 \- Aug 2024 · 3 mos, Designed and simulated core digital logic circuits \(AND, OR, XOR, Half Adder, Full Adder\) in Verilog HDL and wrote testbenches to verify functional correctness against truth\-table specifications\. Debugged RTL failures via waveform analysis, building a working foundation in RTL design, functional verification, and VLSI fundamentals\.

VLSI intern at EDUPHOENIX SOLUTIONS, Jun 2024 \- Aug 2024 · 3 mos

Python Developer at Coding Raja Technologies, May 2024 \- Jun 2024 · 2 mos, Chennai, Built Python\-based applications and data\-handling scripts, strengthening foundations in programming logic and data preparation later applied to embedded firmware and computer vision projects\.
