Chaitanya Neelamraju has a diverse work experience in various engineering roles. Chaitanya started their career in 2016 as a Trainee Engineer at Defence Electronics and Research Laboratory (DLRL), where they gained experience in FPGA configuration and VHDL coding for enabling Aurora and Ethernet modules. Chaitanya also integrated Ethernet and custom Aurora IP cores, achieving a 1Gbps speed for Ethernet.

In 2016, Chaitanya joined George Mason University as a Graduate Research Assistant. During their time there, they worked on designing and testing a Wearable Knee Angle Sensor (WKAS) for use in contact sport situations. This involved integrating hardware components such as microcontrollers, flex sensors, potentiometers, and an SD card for data processing and storage.

In 2018, Chaitanya became a Research Assistant at George Mason University's Volgenau School of Engineering. Chaitanya stayed in this role until 2019, where they worked on undisclosed research projects.

Their most recent role was as a Software Verification Engineer at Joby Aviation starting in 2019. During their time there, they developed and maintained test infrastructure setups for FPGAs. Chaitanya also collaborated across functions to create loading and diagnostic tools for software debugging on FPGA setups, following DO-178C guidelines. Chaitanya performed low-level debugging and analysis using Xilinx tools, validated the system, and loaded various images on the FPGAs.

Chaitanya Neelamraju earned a Bachelor's Degree in Electrical, Electronics and Communications Engineering from Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University. This degree was obtained from 2012 to 2016. Chaitanya then pursued a Master's Degree in Computer Engineering at George Mason University from 2016 to 2018. Prior to this, Chaitanya completed high school at Defence Laboratories School from 2000 to 2010. Additionally, Chaitanya has obtained several certifications including "An Introduction to Interactive Programming in Python (Part 1)" from Coursera in April 2017, a "Certificate of Publication" from the International Journal of Science and Research (IJSR) in July 2016, and a certification called "Try Python" from Code School. The information does not provide specific details about the month and year of completion for the "Try Python" certification.
