Key Accomplishments (Continued)

Quality

- Monitored and enhanced the CoQ (cost of quality) initiative by creating a

Quality goal measurement system.

- Delivered a higher level of quality in early prototypes through

simulations, timing analysis, and design constraints practices, resulting

in reduced design cycle time and engineering costs.

Hardware / Software Design & Development

- Completed, on time and within budget, the introduction of a new line of

cutting edge infrastructure products for public safety systems by

incorporating deep knowledge of hardware and software.

- Developed strategic plan, maintained focus, and developed root cause

solutions, ensuring quality of product releases.

Risk Management

- Utilized defect prediction strategy using CoQuolmo tool, establishing

defect prediction, formulating mitigation plan, and ensuring availability

of engineering resources that mitigated company risk.

- Ensured balance of product requirement change and project schedule by

driving Change Management Board.

- Communicated risks effectively through crawl charts, burn down chart, and

risk tracker.
