- Hardware sustaining and development of optical transport circuit packs within Ciena's 6500, and Waveserver platforms.- Resolving field/factory issues related to electrical and optical domains on Wavelogic 40G/100G/400G/800G modem line cards.- Cost reduction work on existing designs.

Kanata, On

- Three 4-month terms supporting a CRS-1/CRS-3 core routing hardware design team. This involved schematic capture and review on boards such as route processors, physical layer modules (PLIM's), and L3 line cards (MSC's).- Worked to increase product reliability through Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA). This involved identifying failure points, performing hardware fault injection, and determining appropriate system responses.

Waterloo, On

- Supported graduate and post-doc student research within ECE department.- Located and solved functional bug in proposed carry-select adder design.- Investigated SEU tolerance of 6T SRAM cells through transistor-level simulations using Synopsys Sentaurus Device.

Kanata, On

- Conducted post-silicon verification of Gigabit Ethernet switch and Gigabit Passive Optical Networking ASIC's within Tcl test environment.- Independently conducted Ethernet flooding experiments to recommend appropriate switch configuration to avoid false test failures.- Acquired comfort level with IXIA traffic generation equipment such as the X16 chassis and IxExplorer software.

Breslau, On

- Assisted manager in providing PC support to 75 local and remote employees.- Developed database programming skills using MS Access and SQL Server 2005.
