Golden Valley, Mn

Designed and programmed factory test automated systems used in production of HVAC thermostats and building controllers for an ISO 9000 certified corporation. Designed for ease of use at remote factories, the systems resulted in significant cost savings to the company.- Developed a custom test executive program with HP VEE software which utilized flat files listing ordered test sets used for execution of a series of functional tests with a single operator action. Test information was displayed on the controller monitor during execution and archived upon completion of the series. Custom barcode labels were produced by the system for each product upon successful test completion detailing information unique to that product.- Trained factory personnel on new test equipment and supported factory test in local and remote sites to aid in the release of new products at reduced cost.- Wrote programming for PC-based VXI automated test stations (HP VEE, BASIC, BarTender, C, C++).- Designed automated factory test equipment with full documentation including electrical schematics.- Specified Design-For-Testability requirements in new products to ensure factory test capability.- Programmed in-circuit automatic test equipment (Teradyne 18xx ICT).- Wrote statements of work for vendors to produce ICT programs and test nests that promoted sufficient test coverage during assembly to minimize dropout at final functional test.- Estimated cost for design, programming, and support of factory test equipment for projects.- Provided factory training and support on factory test equipment at both local and remote sites.

Hopkins, Mn

Manual bench test of leading-edge military prototypes leading to Factory Test Automation for complex military product.- Designed and programmed factory test equipment for production (ATLAS, FORTRAN, BASIC).- Specified test processes and methodology for production of state-of-the-art military products.- Designed verification test of elaborate products meeting rigorous military standards.- Manually configured and operated instrumentation, including in-circuit emulation, for design verification test and debug of sophisticated embedded system prototype hardware. This effort involved data format conversion and analysis for determination of acceptable operation which ultimately lead to excellent operation in the field.- Computer platforms: Macintosh, HP 1000 RTE-A- Recognition: one Technical Achievement Award, three Special Achievement Awards, and two job promotions
