Goose and Housego (GnH) Bedford, MA July 2021 to July 2022
TEST ENGINEER
-Using LabVIEW to create and maintain multiple programs to control the multi-meters, optical power analyzer, optical spectrum analyzer, Laser and Temperature control to collect LIV data and long term burned in temperature cycle test for the laser device.
-Collaborate with colleague to create a wrapper program using labVIEW to analyze laser’s kink data from SQL.
-Assist and resolve problems from the manufacture in timely manner.
-Update and reverse engineering documents and test program that is out of date, missing documentation and legacy test set.
-Fabricate parts as need to built the photonic integrated circuit test system.
Macom, Nashua, MA Feb 2019 to July 2021
TEST ENGINEER
-Using LabVIEW to create and maintain multiple programs to control the multi-meters, optical power analyzer, multi-states servo motor and epoxy dispenser to pick-up and drop-off very small laser under 500 mircron to do the active alignment in the photonic integrated circuit for the optimal power.
-Fabricate parts as need to built the photonic integrated circuit test system.
-Working with the wirebonding (Westbond) equipment to build parts.
-Maintained and operated program in the fully automatic high speed precision Eutectic Die Bonder Model 6500 and die placement Model 3800 from Palomar.

Utilized GPIB and serial protocol communication.
Teradyne, North Reading, MA July 2004 to July 2005
TEST TECHNICIAN
Assembled VHFAC boards by combining the source (arbitration wave form generator) and the digitizer (capturing wave form) board to the mother board.
Debugged failed VHFAC boards and ensured boards passed through all processes.
Lucent Technologies, North Andover, MA July 2000 to April 2003
TEST ENGINEER
Designed central optical source test sets that allowed many test sets to share the same source which reduced the maintenance of duplicated test set and cost.
Utilized LabVIEW for the environmental testing program, HP-VEE and VB for database verification, and C and C++ to debug.
Penned and updated documentation and test set drawings with Microsoft Word, Visio, and AutoCAD.
