Summary I'm highly skilled in electrical fault isolation and debug of
Xilinx FPGA devices. I utilize my experience in circuit
schematic/layout analysis, bench system setup/testing, DFT's, ATE
testing (BIST/SCAN) and datalog analysis, global isolation tools,
etc to be efficient and successful in my work. I have good rapport
with Design Engineers, Product Engineers, Quality and Reliability
Engineers as I work with them to find solution to device quality
issues I uncover as a result of my work. I help my management keep
track of metrics by maintaining, generating and analysing pivot
reports quarterly. I currently manage and perform internal device
debug requests from device qualification and production.
Experience Staff Fault Isolation Engineer (Product Quality Engineering) @
Xilinx Singapore from 2008 to 2015
Works on FPGA devices with focus on High Speed Serial IO (Xilinx
Gigabit Transceivers). Currently preparing readiness for support
ARM SoC with focus on Structural Test Diagnostics using Mentor
Tessent
Perform debug on customer returns by studying their failure modes,
field application reports, supplied Verilog design/schematics then
create simplified test cases to correlate customer issue using ISE
and Vivado.
Supports Internal Engineering Debug requests from mature devices to
latest Xilinx 7 Series Products (FPGAs, ARM SoC+FPGA)
Supports debug of PROM RMA, bench testing using Nextest Maverick
I/II
