Experience

Interphase Corporation 1990 to 2010

Senior Hardware Test Engineer

• Developed and maintained functional test software for OEM board-level products. Using Microsoft’s Visual Studio 6.0 running on a Windows host PC, wrote low level software to run under Phar Lap’s ETS Real Time OS (RTOS) on an x86-based target system in order to exercise the unit-under-test (UUT).

• Developed Tera Term scripts to control and monitor programming and test tools to fully automate complex test setups that required excessive operator interaction. This cut production test times for some products as much as 80%.

• Created test plans and test procedures, using FrameMaker and/or Microsoft Word.

• Provided detailed failure analysis reports to customers upon request. Used information from those reports to continually improve test coverage and reduce test escapes.

• Debugged hardware and software during all phases of product life cycle.

• Provided training for test technicians to improve production test yields.

• Repaired Electrical/Electronic circuits that were too difficult for technicians.

Vadis, Inc. 1989 to 1990

Senior Hardware Test Engineer

• Designed burn-in backplane supporting multiple PC-AT ISA adapter cards.

• Developed functional tests, using Microsoft C for an ISDN PC-based terminal adaptor.

Mizar Digital Systems, Inc. 1986 to 1989

Hardware Test Engineer

• Designed board and system level functional tests for VMEbus and STD Bus products, Z80/68000 based hardware and assembly language software.

Hamilton Standard Digital Systems, Inc. 1984 to 1986

Senior Test Engineering Technician/Junior Hardware Test Engineer

• Mechanically designed and packaged a dedicated VMEbus functional test system, including test interface hardware and software.

• Debugged and repaired Electrical/Electronic AC/DC circuits.

• Managed project scheduling, cost analysis proposals and training for test operators and technicians.

Mostek Corporation 1973 to 1984

Test Engineering Technician/Production Test Supervisor
