PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
ASTUTE NETWORKS, San Diego, California . 2001-2010
Senior Staff Hardware & ASIC Design Engineer
One of first design engineers for VC-funded startup ASIC chip design
company. Performed ASIC and hardware design engineering. Worked in
conjunction with software, verification, PCB layout, and physical design
engineers. Oversaw design life cycles for multiple product areas. Provided
support for synthesis design flow and carried out script modification.
Accomplishments:
Designed protocol cluster unit for company's first ASIC chip: high-
performing parallel processing chip used for network packet, protocol, and
interface processing, plus network storage. Architected design with 10
processors and DMA engines for multiple memories. Validated new silicon
Ethernet interface and supported synthesis design flow.
Successfully designed Ethernet unit for second ASIC chip. Updated protocol
cluster design. Researched and designed Ethernet MAC unit with multiple
interfaces. Identified IP suppliers.
Carried out design of 10Gb Ethernet switch and networks storage processor
for Storage Blade board. Validated design in lab.
Evaluated Altera's Stratix IV FPGA for future products. Migrated unit from
Astute's ASIC chip to Altera's FPGA. Presented design flow results to
design team.
Created switching regulators (power supplies), hot swap controllers, PCI
Express to PCI-X bridge, and 10Gb Ethernet switches for RTM and
complimentary boards. Performed switch verification. Delivered presentation
on findings.
FAIRCHILD (MIXED SIGNAL DIVISION), Carlsbad, California . 1998-2001
Senior Staff Design Engineer
Carried out digital design for mixed signal ASIC chip design division.
Worked closely with application, product, and test engineers. Authored RTL
code for synthesis and verification phases. Oversaw high-speed mixed signal
design.
Accomplishments:
Delivered low power mixed signal design for external fan controller that
measured internal and external temperatures. Led verification testing.
As Technical Lead, architected key aspects of DVI video receiver.

ADDITIONAL EXPERIENCE
ROCKWELL (Network Access Division), San Diego, California . 1994-1998
Senior Staff Design Engineer
Technical lead on team that delivered first silicon design success for
Octal T1/E1 and DSL voice pairgain framers. Coordinated design architecture
and feature implementation. Managed verification testing and synthesis
script development.
BROOKTREE CORPORATION, San Diego, California . 1990-1994
Test Engineer
Designed JTAG controller for T1/E1 physical line interface and video
decoder. Implemented internal and boundary scans. Generated scans and
functional vectors.
CAREER NOTES: Previously held Test Engineer positions with TRW LSI
PRODUCTS and HONEYWELL SSED (details available on request).
