Professional Experience:

2008 - Present Vitesse Semiconductor Westford, MA

Senior MTS Validation Engineer

• Performed Gate Simulations on OTN multiprotocol ASIC.

• Designed test API infrastructure for OTN multiprotocol ASIC. This is being performed utilizing Spirent and JDSU network test equipment.

• Developed automated tests utilizing TCL and PERL.

• Developed test methodologies and strategies used for verifying multiprotocol designs.

• Working with the chip development team incorporating a test environment that validates the design/functionality of semiconductors.

2006 - 2007 Cedar Point Communications, Derry, NH

Senior Diagnostics Engineer

• Developed diagnostics for VoIP based designs. This consisted of modifying existing device drivers with additional coding to test DS1, DS3, Ethernet, network processor and I2C hardware.

1997-2006 Mercury Computer Systems, Chelmsford, MA

Senior Hardware Diagnostics Engineer

• Decreased design implementation times of diagnostic development by architecting code to easily adapt to similar hardware.

• Developed diagnostics for RapidIO based design. Product consisted of a Tundra TSi109 bridge, proprietary hardware and MPC7448 processor.

• Architected interrupt handler on PowerPC for RapidIO asic.

• Diagnosed board design problems prior to release to manufacturing. This saved the company considerable expense due to potential cost incurred from field returns and field upgrades.

• Worked as a key member of a diagnostic team to combine embedded diagnostics from two groups.

• Designed traffic tests to validate asic arbitration logic in multiprocessor configurations.

• Implemented algorithm library which performed FFTs to test typical thermal characteristics of PowerPC based products.

• Developed code for PowerPC kernel to allow access of local and remote RapidIO resources.

• Designed the diagnostics and BSP to support RapidIO PowerPC based products.

• Developed embedded diagnostics in "C" and “Assembly” to perform DVT. Products included RapidIO based designs used on CPCI/PCI/VME platforms. Diagnostics were developed using product functional specifications. Products included various PowerPC processors, custom asics, flash proms and other miscellaneous proprietary hardware.

• Diagnostics developed were utilized by Engineering and Manufacturing to validate, test and debug RapidIO based designs.

• Developed test plans and strategies to validate new product and asic designs.

• Engineering lead to several diagnostic engineers to develop RapidIO based diagnostics.

• Represented the company to train Ericsson Engineers from Sweden. Developed training presentations which encompassed hardware functionality and how the diagnostics were utilized to test these products.

1996-1997 Radionics Inc.,Burlington,MA

Firmware Development Engineer

• Enhanced firmware for PID controlled medical device using 8051 microcontroller.

1993-1996 Fireye Inc., Derry, NH

Software Development Engineer

• Developed firmware in "C" and "Assembly" using 80C196 microcontroller.

• Resolved compiler and linker issues for new compiler/linker.

• Designed software to test prototypes.

1989-1993 Analog Devices, Wilmington,MA

Test Engineer

• Supported and enhanced test software for data acquisition based products.

• Wrote software to diagnose defective die within hybrids.

• Developed automated test diagnostics to reduce test time and improve accuracy. This was performed using "IEEE" programming using HP test instruments and LTS 2020 ATE tester.

• Implemented test program to screen defective die.

1987- 1989 Imagraph Corp., Chelmsford, MA

Product Engineer

• Responsible for resolving design/debug of high resolution graphic boards. (Hitachi 63484).

• Evaluated product compatibility with several PC manufactures.

• Maintained OEM support for new and existing product lines.

• Coordinated the release of new products to manufacturing.

• Developed test modules written in C and Assembly.

• Developed test plans for product verification.
