- Created new NAND validation and regression platform capturing and isolating component and sort failures before shipping to SSD manufacturing. - Captured numerous failures in design and configuration, across all generations of 3D NAND, preventing expensive SSD production line rework. - Led a team of engineers through the complete product life cycle of a platform. - Grew platform methodology into becoming a core validation requirement for the release of 3D NAND products within the organization. - Drove design and manufacture of new hardware to meet requirements of the validation platform. - Developed and implemented test plans and product features that followed datasheet specifications and design engineering concepts for each new NAND generation. - Coordinated cross-functional teams to ensure coverage met targets for all stakeholders and met demanding schedule deadlines. - Crafted firmware code, enabling an improved NAND interface on new hardware platforms. Written in C/C++ on ARM CPU with Tensilica Xtensa IP. - Architected a new platform to move additional test capabilities from the host to the hardware, to accelerate performance and reduce test time.

- Facilitated multiple design teams to prototype, develop and productize new NAND features for inclusion in follow-on hardware revisions. - Determined new fuse values for NAND to hit performance metrics through high and low volume experiments while minimizing manufacturing yield loss. - Validated and debugged new NAND behavior on bare wafer through microprobe. - Designed and executed test code for Advantest/Teradyne memory testers.

- Partnered with manufacturing, design, and development teams to raise yield by resolving component failures with additional testing. - Increased fab output by reducing test time by documenting and validating that the removal of extraneous testing had no increase on real or accelerated failure rates. - Automated weekly manufacturing monitoring; accelerating team productivity (Perl, Python) - Engaged with external and internal manufacturing test teams worldwide.

I was responsible for version compliance, testing, and failure analysis for two projects in development. Primary duties included firmware reprogramming, rework, and hardware debugging for prototype boards.I also redesigned and rebuilt a simulation and verification testbench utilizing Cadence's Specman Elite version 6.2 to support another developer's Xilinx FPGA code.
