Installation, maintenance, and customization of CAD tools. Interface with CAD tool vendors. Develop CAD tool methodology and flows, Write scripts in various languages (Perl, Skill, Tcl, Unix shell, etc.). Developed SPEF extraction flows for custom digital logic blocks to allow use of ASIC back-end analysis tools. Perform characterization and EDA tool collateral generation (e.g. .lib, LEF, Verilog, etc.) for custom digital cells. Assist corporate IT administrate and troubleshoot local Linux servers and storage arrays. Maintain and distribute standard cell library collateral across all design sites. Support a stand-alone CAD environment for contractors on servers in the corporate DMZ separate from out internal network. Maintain and administrate revision control systems (Synchronicity and Subversion). Provide global support for users in the US, India, and Germany.

Supervised a development team comprised of six software engineers (including myself as an individual contributor), two system testers, and one field applications engineer. We developed a system for a DoD client used to securely up-domain information between NIPRnet, SIPRnet, and JWICS. I worked on gathering requirements, system architecture, client presentations, coding, system prototyping and testing (using a combination of real hardware and virtual machines), packaging and deployment, documentation, and system certification & accreditation.

Software Engineer in the OA&M (Operations, Administration, and Maintenance) Development Group. Responsible for the development and maintenance of the software involved in the packaging, deployment, monitoring, and administration of the TAC system. Utilized an Agile software development process, using Subversion for source control, and Atlassian JIRA for change management tracking. Participated in daily stand-ups, and presented results at client-facing sprint demos. Used Hudson/Jenkins for automated builds and continuous integration. Used VMware extensively for the testing of build results. Wrote and maintained utilities and scripts in a variety of languages such as Perl, Ruby, Python, Java, and Unix shell (bash). Also provided remote off-hours support to field engineers on an as-needed basis.
