WORK EXPERIENCE
Design Component Engineer
RTL MAS Specs/Val Plan - June 1999 to April 2013
Worked on 11 chip designs, many from beginning thru end and post-end multi-stepping support. Highlights
were: Full chip GLS; unit RTL MAS Specs/Val Plan documentation and reviews; pre and post-silicon bug-
boards; extended post-tapeout silicon lab debug; unit checker; pad_IO/pad_logic RTL unit owner (with
emergency re-layout) and PCIE-PCIX y-bridge whole-project integration; travel for reviews and third party
chip delivery; pad full-chip testing; remote customer-usable DFX wave-debug unit RTL for full-chip; shared
DFX unit ownership, ULT model-build/test bench-env/tests, RTL DFX TAP backdoor transactor; SOC Pad_IO/
Pad_Logic RTL unit owner (with several emergency re-SPEC'ed re-layouts) and T-Spec/ ProjectIO-Spec/ PCB
reviews; Full-chip model building, including top-level RTL and TB edits and power-gating insertion; gigabit
Ethernet AVsync RTL unit owner, RTL, ULT env/TB/tests/GLS, RCOMP (from another group) post-tapeout
debug/ fix/ ECO/ future project fixes; miro-architected RGMII/RMII pads sharing of units; emergency ECR/
ECO fixes; GBE-NonGPIO and JKL unit ownership/integration (extreme time zone challenges and schedule).
Intel
Intel - Chandler, AZ - February 1996 to March 2013
Fab Manufacturing Process Engineer
Intel - January 1997 to May 1999
Worked on two processes in oxide polish (CMP chemical mechanical planarization-polish). Highlights were:
eng. equip owner; multi-site support; multi-travel for system-CopyExactly audits, in-person lines-down at
another fab site, multi-supplier/vendor visits; multi-site yield matching and local-site yield excursion task forces;
multi-site projects; specs and install/qual signoff; tool-down task forces; supplier audits/visits.
Recent Graduate Rotation engineer
Intel - January 1996 to December 1996
finished military processor customer reference PCB with some FPGA; 64-bit u-processor validation; oxide
polish fab engineer.
limited IT support
