|DAC’s (250mhz), 1ghz clock distribution, analog/digital discretes, |

|and power supply. Other modules are based on reference and baseline |

|designs for DSP, USB, UART RS422, ARINC 429 UART, compact flash, flash, |

|SRAM, and Xilinx System ACE compact flash interface. |

|Self-Employed |

|Xilinx Virtex 5 Evaluation board based on ml401. The board is an |

|industrial controller which uses is to use Verilog PCI Bridge to Wishbone|

|bus. |

|Assembled LA County Proposal Team |

|Proposal for Farm/Home Solar Product Feasibility Study |

|L3 and Northrup |

|Engineer responsible redesigning an avionics VME motherboard for Saab |

|using Mentor Graphics netlist. Converted the netlist over to Orcad |

|Express. Developed FPGA module spec for a Virtex2 electronic warfare |

|range generator. |

|Veridian |

|Engineer responsible supporting design and test after engineering layoff.|

|Product was a VME based data logger with Altera FPGA's and EPLD's. |

|Actel Design Services |

|Engineer responsible for designing 24 channel fast ethernet board using |

|MMC Gigbit network switch. Generated spec for 2 channel gigabit board |

|using same MMC part. |

|Hamilton Standard |

|Engineer responsible for redesigning IO board with 1553 processor, six |

|RS422 channels and a Xilinx 9500 CPLD. The CPLD had a watch-dog timer, |

|decode logic, clocks, and clock monitor coded in vhdl. Performed 3rd |

|generation design with Xilinx 4000 series FPGA, PCI core, and the above |

|features. |

|Orbital |

|Engineer responsible for upgrading an Actel CPLD to a radhard 8085 |

|satellite controller using Orcad 9.5. For backward compatibility the |

|design was schematic but the testbench was in VHDL. |

|Litton |

|Engineer responsible for upgrading three Xilinx XC4010 FPGA’s in |

|VHDL and schematics on the dwell controller card of an EW system. The |

|board and FPGA’S were simulated using Mentor Graphics QVHDL/QSIMII.|

|Other FPGA tools Design Architect, Xact 5.2, and Synario |

|Orbital |

|Engineer responsible designing for a Xilinx XC4028 FPGA in VHDL to |

|interface SRAM, timer, interrupt controller, and Z8000 bus emulator |

|modules to the PCI bus. Fpga tools used were Cadence Leapfrog, Synopsis |

|FPGA Express, Orcad Express, Viewlogic Workview, and Xilinx M1.5 |

|Foundation. |

|Sea Change |

|Engineer responsible for designing modules in Altera 10K series FPGA's |

|using MaxPlus2 for an MPEG encoder and decoder board sets. Additional |

|tasks included testing prototypes and pilot production. |

|Harris |

|Engineer responsible for upgrading a Xilinx 4000 series fpga with a |

|pattern searching algorithm and VME interface to a time |

|division-multiplexing card. Tools used on the VHDL program were Viewlogic|

|and Synopsis. |

|Rockwell |

|Project engineer responsible for designing an ARINC 561 input/output |

|board (using eplds with ABEL, Viewlogic, and VHDL) and directing firmware|

|development using an 8051 based ASIC with dual port ram and MIL-STD-1553 |

|bus controls. The firmware was upgraded from a previous version to |

|include the new ARINC 561 serial transmitter, built-in test features, and|

|monitor for board testing. The board is part of the Cntrl and Display |

|Unit of the nav- system. |

|Vega |

|Hardware and software engineer responsible for a wireless trunking |

|console used in communications between company vehicles. The Microchip |

|based PIC16C74 console uses a real-time kernel in assembly and the |

|application software in C. The hardware consists of a Xilinx's EPLD, DTMF|

|transceiver, microcontroller level setting buffers using the PWMs, |

|software real-time clock, LCD display, and a keyboard. |

|Microswitch |

|Project Engineer responsible for conceptual and analog design; software |

|coordination; SMD PCB coordination; and scheduling of the dual humidity |

|and temperature transmitter using the Microchip 16C71. The 16C71 is used |

|to read the RTD and humidity sensors through the instrumentation |

|amplifiers designed with inexpensive op amps. The temperature and |

|humidity readings are then used as an index into a lookup table. The |

|16C71 outputs two PWM’s for the humidity and linearize the RTD to |

|drive the 4 to 20ma current loop. |

|MacKenzie |

|Responsible for design of a memory board for a CD quality stereo format |

|and cassette tape MOH digital repeater with a phone interface. |

|Responsible for the design of the multiple channel digital |

|repeater/controller, which consisted of a network controller, 4-wire |

|serial bus, 16 memory bus units, and 4 audio bus units. The repeater's |

|messages (stored in EPROM's) were transmitted from memory units over the |

|serial bus at 4M baud to one of the 4 audio units. All bus devices were |

|based on the 17C42 controller except for the Z180 bus controller. The |

|program for the bus units consisted of the bus protocol and the |

|application software, which were written in assembly. The rest of the |

|memory and audio bus units software consisted of managing the ADPCM data |

|requests and controlling the ADPCM signal processor respectively. The |

|Z180 program, in C, issue commands to play message X from memory bus unit|

|Y to audio bus unit Z. The task chart to be used by CMK’s real-time|

|kernel defined the Z180 tasks. |

|HiShear |

|Project Engineer responsible for the design of the programmable gate |

|array (PGA) in a Safe and Arm Fuze (SAF); integration of HV power supply;|

|and coordination of the housing design, safety studies, and product |

|reviews. The SAF arms and fires the warhead after the proper handshaking |

|from the avionics. The SAF consists of the interface circuitry, HV power |

|supply, and fire circuitry. Design and simulation of the PGA was |

|performed with Viewlogic's CAD program. |

|Software Engineer responsible for writing software for a microcontroller |

|based SAF and integrating it with the HV power supply. |

|Design Engineer responsible for design of a test board used to validate |

|the fiber optics in the Harden Mobil Launcher; a Laser based ordinance |

|system. The test board was designed first with an 80C51 then was |

|redesigned because of hardening using PAL's to control the laser |

|distributor and used C to model some analog components. |

|Kennedy |

|Software Test Engineer responsible for 8051 software development on a |

|tape drive head tester. The existing table driven software for 9610 |

|Pertec tape drive was modified to test the head of the tape drive. |

|MacDonnell Douglas |

|Test Engineer participated in training technicians and integrating test |

|systems for the Army. |
