Company developed High Power RF Generators and High Power RF Impedance Matching networks used in plasma etching.• Developed and designed firmware to control variable capacitors in feedback controlled system. System reduces reflected power to zero in some applications, and regulates current in other applications.• Developed Firmware in C for the TI Sitara AM3359 Processor and the TMS320F2808 DSP using Code Composer Studios. System communication consisted of SPI, I2C, RS232, PROFIBUS, DeviceNet, Ethernet, EtherCAT, and USB.• Implemented stepper motors algorithms to regulate variable capacitor angular-speed and ensure angular position accuracy.• Developed GUI in C# so Application Engineers can adjust performance parameters, such as max RPM speed, Proportional Feedback Gain, impedance matching algorithm types. GUI could also monitor tuning performance and RF signals in real time. Also developed DLLs and python API for Test Engineers• Created several Automation Programs to calibrate and validate Units, reducing assembly and testing time.• Develop regression tests and unit test in Python and C/C++ to ensure reliability
