PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

SUN MICROSYSTEMS, INC., San Diego, CA

2000 - 2009

Staff Engineer, High End Server Engineering

Designed, developed, maintained and supported Power On Self Test (POST) and

diagnostic engineering tests on Sun servers, from Blade servers to High End

Enterprise class servers.

Designed and developed complex POST/Diagnostic tests for Sun Blade and High

End Enterprise class servers in both small and large software development

collaborative efforts made up of cross-functional engineering teams from

hardware, software, quality, and system architecture.

Developed diagnostic tests for UltraSPARC family of processors, NGDIMM and

FBDIMM memory assemblies, and custom system ASICs. Created software on

Unix and Linux platforms using C/C++, which was then revision controlled

and maintained using SCCS, CVS and SVN. Discovered and fixed bugs

throughout the entire development and regression testing process.

Supported Quality Engineering (QE) by solving complex problems of

POST/Diagnostic test failures for customer field engineering support and

manufacturing engineering teams by finding root cause of failure to

determine whether hardware or software was the source of failure. This

reduced customer down-time and limited production line stoppage, thus

minimizing impact on sales revenue.

Produced JTAG boundary scan tests for all printed circuit board assemblies,

ASICs and cable interfaces of the Sun E15K/E25K enterprise class server

using the Intellitech 1149.1 (JTAG) Boundary Scan Test Development Software

suite of tools and the C++ programming language. These provided early

detection of assembly and construction issues, thus reducing man hours

spent on Root Cause Analysis (RCA).

Trained manufacturing engineering team on site at Flextronics, Malaysia, on

how to troubleshoot POST and diagnostic test failures being experienced on

the production line of a Sun T-series server. Saved $3 Million by helping

them to find root cause of failure on systems that failed production line

testing and Reliability Quality Test (RQT) verification testing. Trained

the manufacturing engineering team on the complete POST and diagnostic test

flow and test details.

Led Sun POST engineering team on Sun/Fujitsu joint venture UltraSPARC M-

series Enterprise class servers for all Sun represented POST software bugs

and diagnostic interests. Ported complete POST source code tree from

Fujitsu over to Sun servers making the necessary changes so that it could

be compiled on the Sun servers. This enabled Sun engineers to supply

source code changes for bugs or to submit change requests at the source

code level, and to have debug capability.

Performed as direct liaison between Sun and Fujitsu POST engineering groups

on all aspects of the Sun/Fujitsu joint venture UltraSPARC M-series

Enterprise class servers. Reported to management on a weekly basis about

project status, progress and issues. Reported project status to all levels

of management up to the Executive level on a bimonthly basis.

Ported entire POST source code tree from a Sun UltraSPARC T2+ blade server

to a new server product for the Sun E15K/E25K server platform. Updated and

enhanced the source code to include the expanded capabilities of the new

server product, including an increased number of processors, more memory

and greater I/O space.

Trained all Sun engineering support members, both internal engineering

groups and field support groups, on the details of POST testing for the

Sun/Fujitsu joint venture UltraSPARC M-series Enterprise class servers at

Sun company headquarters.

TYCO HEALTHCARE, INC., San Diego, CA

1995 - 2000

Production Test Engineer, Advanced Medical Manufacturing Engineering

Designed complete manufacturing automated test systems using ATE for

production line testing of the top of the line Nellcor Puritan Bennett 840

Acute Care Ventilator.

Constructed complete test systems, including both hardware and software,

for ventilator pneumatic safety valve, power supply and backup power supply

battery, and final ventilator assembly, using a variety of interfaces

including IEEE-488.2/GPIB, serial port, Ethernet port, discrete digital I/O

signaling and custom Air/Oxygen pressure and flow pneumatic circuits.

Wrote complete software programs for test system operation, diagnostics,

calibration, maintenance, product testing, product troubleshooting and

design verification testing, using LabWindows/CVI and Visual C++.

Authored full compliment of test system documentation from initial

construction to final verification in order to meet FDA documentation and

validation requirements. This included test plans to define test

methodology, test specifications to define product performance criteria,

test reports to document operation and verification results, and validation

plans and protocols to challenge the test system design for installation

environment (Installation protocol), operational tolerances and accuracies

(Operation protocol), and performance results of fault insertion challenges

(Performance protocol).

Certified validation results using Gage Repeatability and Reproducibility

studies using a 3 Sigma acceptance model.

COMPUTER SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION, San Diego, CA 1992 - 1995
