Hardware CONSULTING

When requirements, hardware, firmware, interfaces and decisions start living in separate documents. I begin with one concrete problem rather than modeling the whole organization. SysML v2 is now a formal OMG specification that connects requirements, structure, behavior, analysis and verification in one model.

I use it before and around RTL. The model keeps traceability between the need, requirements, architecture, interfaces, decisions and verification. It does not replace Verilog or VHDL: it organizes the problem the RTL must implement.

When it needs to validate an architecture, speed up a prototype, cover a temporary RTL or verification gap, or assess feasibility before growing. I first define interfaces, constraints, deliverables and acceptance criteria. Then we decide what to build externally and what should stay in-house.

I work on a framework that combines AI and MBSE to turn a need expressed in natural language into requirements, architecture and a path to FPGA and SoC. I presented it at IEEE LAEDC 2025 in Guadalajara, where it received the Best Paper award. AI speeds up the work; engineering decisions are still reviewed.

I don’t start by migrating everything. I pick a small project, identify requirements and interfaces, build a pilot model in SysML v2 and measure whether it improves traceability, reviews and trade studies.

I learn about the problem, the project’s current state and the outcome you need. We check whether my experience fits and what information is missing before proposing work. The call doesn’t solve the project: it decides whether a next step makes sense.

After the call I prepare a written proposal with scope, deliverables, dates and cost. If technical uncertainty is high, I can split off a first diagnosis or feasibility phase before defining a larger implementation.

Your team keeps the model, the code and the know-how. Rights, licenses, third-party components and intellectual property for each project are set out in writing in the proposal or contract.

Mainly remotely, from Bogotá and New York, so I cover time zones across the Americas. When a project needs it, I work onsite in the US and Latin America. In English or Spanish.

Yes. I teach MBSE, SysML v2, digital design, FPGA, engineering labs and STEM education. This line builds on my ASEE and IEEE papers and on the years I led EDS-ETC, the IEEE Electron Devices Society STEM program.
