About Christopher Ott
I am actively innovating new and complex solutions involving Hardware, Software, and FPGA elements to bring the company visions to reality. Through leadership, mentoring, and technical guidance I enable cross functional team success. My key strengths span the analog, digital, FPGA, power, board and system level realm of design, from simple circuits through complex distributed architectures. I have successfully been the principal engineer and system architect through the development of multiple designs and products from concept through end of life. Through these roles I have directly provided guidance to multiple cross functional teams including mechanical, embedded firmware and software. Some of my most successful product contributions include: * Ixia Communication's NTO-7300 Network Packet Broker and Network Visibility Solution and * Anue System's NTO-5288 Network Visibility Solution family of platforms - both product lines above are designed to service and support: - carrier class service providers - defense and intelligence communities - financial markets and banking institutions - enterprise data centers * Dell's R805 Server designed to address the demands of virtualization in multiple markets including SaaS and cloud infrastructure * National Instrument's CompactRIO-9002/9004 controllers which I brought to completion to address the demands of industrial markets requiring embedded control with re-configurable I/O * Symmetricom's SSU-2000 and SSU-2000e that still addresses the global timing and synchronization requirements of the telecommunications industry after more than 15 years of continuous production * Harrison Systems Series-Ten which was the most advanced film and audio industry recording console of its day with fully automated recording and mixing capabilities Specialties: Signal Integrity, EMI, EMC, SFP+/SFP28, QSFP/QSFP28, XFP, 10GBaseKR, XFI, SFI, XAUI, High Speed Digital, NPU, GPU, FPGA, CPLD, Switching Power Supplies, Analog, PLL's, Embedded, Systems, Mil-Spec, Commercial, Industrial, Timing and Sync, DFM, DFA, DFT, DFS, DFR, DFC (Design for Manufacturability / Assembly / Test / Servicability / Repairability / Calibration)
