ASIC bring up, test and debug

Cupertino, California, United States

Maintained, improved and extended software tools used for the validation of Apple SoCs. Added new features to tools to expand test coverage. Bring up said tools on silicon and FPGA and drive test plans to completion before tape-out deadlines. Developed test content (C/ARM/Forth) running directly on silicon/FPGA in order to stress CPU uArch, memory hierarchy, power management features and various other SoC logic across all major Apple SoCs. Worked with cross-functional teams to root cause SoC hardware failures (functional and electrical). Developed targeted test content to reproduce potential failure modes on silicon identified by DV/FV. Validated design fixes on pre-silicon platforms and ensured correctness on engineering samples

Developed and debugged hardware on Xilinx FPGAs using VHDL. Implemented SPI and I2C controllers in VHDL. Used Chipscope to verify and test hardware synthesized from VHDL code on working products. Used tools such as Phabrix, oscilloscopes and waveform monitors to debug hardware issues.

Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

Mostly bring up and validation of prototype mobile devices. This involved writing C code to verify the operation of components on an embedded system. Wrote test code in C to verify hardware interface buses such as UART and I2C.
