Strategic Planning / Design for Manufacturability and Quality – High-Tech Products and Systems

Engineering Manager: Through my assignments at global semiconductor corporations I gained extensive

international experience in managing complex project and developing successful hi-tech products from concept

to production. I had the opportunity to collaborate with and manage multicultural multi-site teams in

Japan/France/USA, USA/Europe/China/Taiwan. I set-up and grew a robust and stable design team in Beijing. I

fulfilled all director duties including creation and negotiation of the engineering content of legal contracts and

policies, cost control and management of multi-million development budget, team and people development, IP

protection, relationship with customers vendors and partners, product and technology roadmap.

New Product Development: Over the last 15 years, I used my expertise to deliver business driven

contributions through technology and innovation. I am highly focused on work methods and processes that

enable development and manufacturing of high quality products, meeting market requirements and achieving

leadership position in hi-tech, high volume consumer space.

Technical Leader: By integrating the disciplines of system, algorithm and circuit design engineering, I led the

development of scalable, reconfigurable dual core architectures and SOC that became the foundation of Analog

Devices (ADI) wireless chip set business. While at Texas Instruments, I pioneered the development of low

power fixed point DSP processor chips for wireless applications from the inception of GSM in Europe, enabling

TI wireless handset business to get started with Ericson and then taking a leadership position with Nokia.

MSEE - Ecole Centrale de Lyon (France)

Selected Achievements and Skills
