• Performed hardware testing and signal validation using an oscilloscope and Saleae Logic Analyzer to verify digital protocols (UART, I2C, SPI) and timing correctness.
• Captured and analyzed waveforms, rise/fall times, baud rates, duty cycles, and propagation delays to diagnose system-level issues.
• Used protocol-aware logic analysis to decode and validate asynchronous serial data, parity bits, start/stop bits, and frame integrity.
• Identified noise, bouncing, and timing violations, improving reliability of embedded and digital systems.
• Validated bit-banged UART transmitters, measuring half-bit and full-bit timing to ensure reliable communication.
• Integrated and tested hardware modules such as counters, prescalars, multiplexers, and FSM controllers using VHDL simulation in ModelSim/Active-HDL.
