About

I've spent 20 years solving the hardest engineering problems I could find, from ASIC design at Intel to airborne vision tracking systems for law enforcement, free-space optical communications, and now quantum computing control systems. I work across the full hardware-software stack: FPGA firmware, embedded systems, real-time signal processing, distributed software, and computer vision.

Pengu Systems is my consulting practice, through which I've worked with multiple companies on their most demanding technical challenges. I'm not actively consulting at the moment, but I'm always open to interesting conversations.

What People Say

"Eyal is very talented and effective when it comes to implementing high throughput algorithms using FPGAs and embedded systems. Working part-time, he was able to develop for us in a few months an RF signal synthesis and acquisition FPGA firmware streaming data to SDRAM memory in real time... He also has a keen eye for the simplest and most efficient, but also scalable, path to attain the desired outcome. Eyal is very proficient, straightforward, and reliable in what he does."

— Dan Feldkhun, Ph.D., President, LambdaMetrics LLC

"Eyal climbed the learning curve very quickly and completed his tasks in half the time we expected. He's become a solid resource for Radiometrics."

— Dick Rochester, CEO, Radiometrics Corporation

"It has been a pleasure working with Eyal at Pengu Systems. Due to his incredible breadth of skills ranging from HDL to web server languages, he does the work of two or more engineers."

— Madrone Coopwood, Chief Engineer, HyperLabs
