Documentation, Requirements Gathering, Board Bring-Up and Integration of large scale storage platforms. Supervision of ODM partners, Design Review of their electrical design, mechanical design, and software development.Specifically focused on extending the architecture of 5U 84 drive platform to from the current 6G SAS/SATA implementation, to 12G SAS and.

Key hardware lead, software liaison, hardware liaison, responsible for the Requirements Management and Written Communications, of a six slot, dual fabric, 7 rack unit chassis, with up to 3.84Tb of network switch capacity. This platform required Teamwork in depth Electrical Design and Analytical Skills in order to assure it was specifically designed for.

All aspects of advanced electronic hardware design, including defining the overall hardware architecture inside the latest 3.84-Terabit network packet broker, many of the mechanical packaging concepts for this platform, as well as key hardware interfaces, software functionality and RTL integration. Previously I have led the development of medium scale.

Second Systems Lead and Product Development Engineer for a dual socket, AMD based, 128GB capable 2U server (Dell R805) optimized for virtualization. Integral in the finalization of the system architecture including a novel USB/SD solution for the the Non-Volatile boot drive implementation. Led the way to resolving the issue of keeping the base Ethernet.

Austin, Texas, US

Multiple product designs and launches within the cRIO and cFP product lines. Substantial EMI reductions in multiple products as well. Instrumental in resolving signal integrity issues in the cFP back planes. Key person in the resolution of problems blocking the release first generation cRIO controllers. Successfully executed a major last minute.

Aliso Viejo, CA, US

Multiple hardware designs including one using fractional "N" frequency synthesis and many using FPGA's and CPLD's. Most designs were developed for operation in a synchronous and redundant mode for hit-less fail-over and high availability. Developed a robust differential signaling and protocol extension to the SPI interface. Developed a single cycle.

San Jose, CA, US

Multiple line card product designs and Software updates including embedded firmware development using C and C++. Lead board level hardware developer for the third generation DSLAM network interface cards intended for use as redundant modules. Multiple presentations for customers on the subject of QOS traffic priority and performance limitations in blocking.

Developed a robust differential signaling and protocol extension to the SPI interface. Developed a single cycle detection and switchover CPLD for the SSU2000 line cards and Expansion chassis clock modules. Debugged and implemented the SSM communications for the redundant PRR-10 controller modules. These platforms require High availability and resiliency.

Hardware design engineer responsible for researching and deploying the initial version of "Speed Pass" for Mobil prior to the merger with Exxon. Carried out field studies of the overhead antenna systems and vehicle mounted transponder model. Recommend moving to a split RF system relying on a low frequency RF to energize the systems and high frequency.

I created original designs of 486 based CPU boards for OEM customers, performed component qualification, and carried out sustaining engineering on existing products.

Hardware design engineer developing analog and digital flight test instrumentation used on the Titan IV launch platform for the Space Systems division. Key engineer leading the design of a rack mounted avionics flight hardware test set to emulate the instrumentation of a helicopter including the development of a solid state LVDT transponders.Developed a.

Designed the original controller and keyboard for the Series X automated recording console. This was the worlds first digitally controlled, fully automated, analog recording console for the film and audio industry. This was also the first product from Harrison that individually sold in excess of $1 million for one console. It contained so many 8051's that.

A true start up company. I personally constructed many of the lab benches, stocked the inventory, kitted assemblies, hand assembled and tested boards, packaged and shipped orders. First hourly employee hired. Wow that was fun.
