• Used tools to create top shell, insert test logic, and convert/connect latches for ATPG scan in customer’s design.
• Wrote custom scripts which resolved issues and circumstances not addressed by the tools.
• Verified post-processed DFT/FEP design with formal verification, CMOS checks, EncounterTest, and TB1149.
• Debugged tool issues preventing forward progress of DFT processing, providing issue notification to tool development team along with recommended solutions.
• Performed various static timing analysis experiments utilizing Einstimer, identifying optimal timing configurations minimizing area utilization and timing violations.

Armonk, New York, NY, US

• Wrote and debugged test cases utilizing C++ to test various IP’s functionality and connectivity. Analyzed reports, identified signals either not covered by the tests or not toggled, and resolved issues by further.
• Ran test cases utilizing TOS (Test Operating System) to determine IP’s integrity, leading to implementation of corrective actions.
• Debugged problems using NC-Verilog SimVision, pinpointing more design difficult errors.

• Performed PE (Product Engineering) work with existing NC (Network Computer) products. Work consisted of finding the root cause of problems and identifying the most effective fix.
• Wrote register specifications for low-end ethernet and twin-ax NC products.
• Aided in the design of a cost reduced version of an L2 cache for the Series 1000 Network Computer by selecting parts, coding them utilizing RapidPart, and schematized the design via Concept.
• Worked with the Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Team to help get NC products to pass FCC and European regulations.
• Performed the signal quality measurements and analysis of the Series 1000.
• Performed an electrical and thermal profile of the power supply for the Series 1000.

• Tested the functionality of the Network Station II utilizing BUD and O/S 9000.
• Characterized the 604 PowerPC processor using a RS/6000 workstation via Motorola’s TC60x test board, which automatically varies frequency and voltage to determine the processor’s operating range.
• Characterized both the 603 and 604 PowerPC processors using an IBM PowerPC reference board to determine the processors’ operating range by varying voltage, frequency, and temperature.
• Measured power consumption of the 603 PowerPC processor at various PLL (phase-lock-loop) configurations, frequencies, and voltages.

• Project: Process Hazard Analysis Reconciliation
• Responsible for onsite inspection of various inland facilities to determine whether or not they were in compliance with respect to the NFPA, Exxon Inshore Specifications, and the American Petroleum Institute (API).
• Utilized Facilities Engineering Programs (FEP) to determine pressure safety valve relief capacity based on measurement report information.
• Identified issues including inadequate grounding and pressure safety valve relief capacity.
• Provided a report with corrective actions if any found.

• Project: Electrical Area Classification
• Responsible for onsite inspection of various inland facilities to determine whether or not they were in compliance with respect to the NEC.
• Provided a report with corrective actions if any found.

• Project: Well Optimization and Cash Profit Maximization
• Responsible for overseeing measurement of BHP (bottom hole pressure) of offshore production wells.
• Used BHP measurements in well modeling software determine whether or not a well’s orifice size can be safely increased or not to increase production for profit maximization.
