- Reliable performance as technical lead resulted in promotion managing a team of 12engineers. Focus on recruitment, training, mentorship, and growing talent within theteam. Developed performance improvement plans, team rotations in Design Verification,and growing engineers into future leaders/managers.- Led team to validate 6 ICs and 2 derivative ICs (8 total) that released to market on-timeall within 1 year of each other to meet customer demand. Guided team through validationplanning and balanced resource assignments among 7 parallel projects. Drovechallenging bug closure and validation task closure.- Accurately managed quarterly budget within forecast. Coordinated lab equipment acrossteams to mitigate resource constraints and enable team success.- Re-organized large validation team to have characterization and system validationfocused teams. This resulted in quicker and more efficient validation since team memberscould build up specialized expertise and test similar blocks across many devices.- Built collaborative culture within the team. Focused on keeping team morale high whichresulted in engaged engineers that help each other. Improved cross functionalrelationships by gaining positive visibility through reliable reporting and on-timecompletion of projects.- Led team to build Python hierarchical API structure for controlling devices and migrateinfrastructure from TestStand/LabVIEW to Python.
