Leading a technical team, with aggressive time to market goals, working to upgrade the design of Itron's ANSI residential metering platform in the areas of metrology sampling, high voltage mains protection and controls for the internal disconnect switch. Ensuring compliance with ANSI, UL and Measurement Canada regulatory standards. Ensuring compliance to design for manufacturing guidelines of both the external contract manufacture and the internal manufacturing teams

• Currently validating new ASIC computing module with ARM Cortex cores in high voltage electricity metering environment, ensuring compliance with ANSI, UL and Measurement Canada standards. • Project Leader directing team to integrate new 900Mhz and WIFI communications platform into electricity meter. Creating project schedules, identifying risk items, securing resources and constructing test plans for validation. Ensuring timely new product introduction with Agile methods. • Working with research groups to architect new mixed signal measurement and sensor platforms. Securing patents for intellectual property necessary to extend and realize new market opportunities.

• Led global team to specify and validate mix signal ASIC, delivering solution within one year and two-million-dollar budget.• Researched and designed algorithms to detect dc magnetic tamper and to improve measurement performance securing a 1.5-million-piece order.• Modified ASIC firmware in CS5473 to support international and domestic market requirements supporting new business lines.

• Responsible for the measurement accuracy of electric smart meters through the application of firmware and mixed signal designs. Interfacing with manufacturing and quality control to support 99% yield.• Developed algorithm and timings to support a H-Bridge remote disconnect drive circuit.• Evaluated field returns for defects and determined root cause, using information to improve designs, manufacturing process and vendor component quality.• Mentored cooperative education students, to support their higher education goals and recruit valuable talent to the organization.

• Lead validation engineer for Itron metering mixed signal ASICs. Creating automation systems and software to systematically test ASICs for specification compliance. • Provided support to operations by evaluating, testing and documenting new sources of supply into existing designs; resulting in high production yields and increased customer satisfaction. • Maintained software licenses and provided in-house support for ORCAD PSPICE and CADENCE before transferring responsibilities to IT saving company money through multisite procurement.
