• Implemented memory repair software redesign resulting in increased reliability, simpler debugging, and reduced development time for new types of memory.• Performed on site failure analysis and training on GPU board production issues in Chinese assembly plant. Resulted in reduction of delays and bugs, improved failure reporting, and minimized home office intervention for overall smoother operation.• Solved long standing hardware and software communication issue that enabled a new testing method which drastically improved GPU ECC test coverage resulting in more reliable end user GPUs.• Created test for new microprocessor by making a program generator. Resolved discrepancy in the microprocessor instruction set implementation.• Proposed and lead team to create automatic regression test auditing tool, reducing cognitive overhead for each engineer.• Created clear, unified ECC infrastructure by leading initiative GPU driver and hardware teams to solve key design flaws.
