I am the principle systems designer for an engineering and business development business. The hardware that I build for a customer is completed by putting the finalized design onto the production floor at Krypton Solutions

Design evaluation platforms for power management ICs as well as the test systems to verify the EVM post-assembly functionality

I used these skills to improve customer interactions with Texas Instruments High-Performance Analog Interface product groups. All of these skills were used to add collateral, improve existing collateral quality, demonstrate proof of concepts, and verify device performance specifications.•Expertise in both digital and analog system design•Strongly customer-orientated engineer with the proven ability to resolve design issues, develop product applications and demonstration models•Skilled in the implementation and generation of chip and system characterization and testing (ATE and laboratory)•Experienced system designer with proven aptitude to visualize a concept, then create and implement a design resulting in tools to be used by lab personnel which increased throughput and productivity, and provided cost savings as well as improving field applications and sales engineering demonstrations to customers.•Expert system designer with extensive knowledge of product manufacturability and component selection for resolution of cost versus performance questions•Established record of success as a decisive leader in building and leading teams of professionals, providing expertise to drive business results, and delivering value-added services•Extensive project designs of FPGA based systems used as traffic pattern generators, data verifiers, and system controllers for multi-gigabit transceiver demonstrations and reference designs. These designs were implemented using Xilinx’s FPGA products and Verilog coding or Lattice's FPGA products and tools.•Designed and performed lab characterization projects using automated and manual data collection methods to verify device operation meets or exceeds datasheet specifications•Excellent technical writing skills used to create user's manuals, design papers and operational studies reports to ease the customer's design experience.•Extensive experience with multi-gigabit devices including Gigabit Ethernet and XAUI

•Provided customer support for multi-gigabit products in the factory through test design, data collection, report generation, and personal presentations resulting in improved customer satisfaction•Saved development dollars and reduced rework dollars to zero for the High-Speed Interface business unit by designing and implementing a design rule process to standardize the drawing styles and schematic contents of the characterization and application lab designs•Created a test vehicle that simplified field demonstrations of TI's capabilities across multiple Analog product segments. Designs allowed capture of transmit eyes and analysis of receiver-equalization functionality as well as error rate tests on various transmit signal lengths and heightened customer interest as well as demonstrated operation on both backplane and cable interfaces within a system environment

Designed network products and test vehicles for 16Mbit Token Ring, 10BaseT, 10BaseFL, and 100BaseTX networks.

Worked in a variety of positions including IC Test Eng., Process Development Eng., Product Eng.
