Provide support for and knowledge on how to use Bonn Router and Manufacturing Aware Router(MAR)• Enabled and provided application engineering for BonnMAR routing solution.• Enabled and provided application engineering for Routing Based Optimization (RBO) solution.• Acquired and setup routing testcases and analyzed and compared test results.

Devised testing strategies to improve functional and system test of IBM Electronic Design Automation(EDA) tools• Spread knowledge of software review and test techniques throughout organization• Initiated more emphasis upon design flow testing as opposed to point tool(s) testing• Created test team in IBM Bangalore, India to ultimately take over mission ownership

Educated designers, tool and flow developers on and deployed an IBM Physical Design datamanagement solution for IBM Systems.

Evaluated processes used by the EDA organization to document, design, implement, test, release and support software. Determined what processes or parts of processes should be alleviated. Cultivated ideas relative to improving processes and conducted analysis to reveal return on investments.

On behalf of the IBM Burlington ASIC Design Center, designed and implemented a system to guide design personnel through the steps of the ASIC sign-off methodology and manage the resulting data.

On behalf of the IBM Server Group technology rules and IP design teams, implemented, deployed, maintained and supported a design work flow used to check and audit the validity of rules and IP before release and use in microprocessor designs. Led team responsible for encapsulating tool set into Proframe design framework that was used for methodology management.

On behalf of the hardware design community, provide a design framework to present a common look and feel for all EDA applications as well as a work flow manager. Coordinated software builds of the design framework components.

On behalf of the IBM EDA application development teams, provided a common persistent and run time data model that was used and shared by all design applications to store and retrieve design information and avoid data translations. Led team responsible for implementing tool used to generate code which represented the Joint Model application programming interface.

Designed, coded and tested versioning services for a custom control repository used to manage the life cycle of a hardware design project.
