execution and debug techniques.
. Devised first fully cross-mapped Knights database with flow
requirements for LEF/DEF conversion.
. Analyzed low-yield materials, monitored/created test yield reports,
and reduced test times on products.
Design for Test Engineer 2002-2005
. Provided product and test solutions from product definition through
planning, production, and release to reduce product development cycle
time while improving test quality results.
. Served in mentorship role with other engineers while developing new
test techniques, technical specifications, and related reference group
documentation.
. Provided continuous improvements for design, test, and process
diagnosis activity for WLAN group.
