Developed test systems for Control4's lighting products. Worked on all facets of the system design including mechanical (3D modeling and producing machine drawings), electrical (custom interface PCB's with uControllers), and user interface software. Added a level of automation to the systems to reduce the amount of human intervention required during testWorked closely with Engineering (both hardware and firmware) to ensure the designs were testableDeveloped an LED calibration system to calibrate the LED's on the GEN3 lighting productsWorked closely with the contract manufacturer in China providing installation, training, and support of these test systemsDeveloped a video test suite used with National Instruments Teststand that decreased the video test times dramatically and increased the accuracy of those tests

Co-development of 2 separate Bluetooth Test SystemsCo-development of an 802.11b Test SystemCo-development of an LCD Inspection SystemSchematic capture/PCB Layout including micro-strip designDeveloped a functional test system for DS3 data radios. RF testing to 5.8 GHzDevelopment (hardware and firmware) of several PIC® micro-controller based products: 48 bit remote IO system RAID array automated disk extractor/inserter Battery charger tester/fault simulator Serially controlled RF Mux Serially controller DS3 MuxCo-development of a test system to characterize the RF qualities (to 20 GHz) of the R-Tec GCI® family of interconnect products
