Open to new and exciting opportunitiesWorking with Automotive infotainment hardware, testing Navigation software releases, go to person for test bench and testing within the Navigation development group. Updated system NAND Flash and hard drive image on Linux and QNX based systems.Responsible for configuring test vehicle and bench setups for Testing and development.Performing competitive testing and analysis of Navigation systems features. Updated created and updated confluence page with information about flashing hardware and other related tasks. Configured and programmed Arduino for controlling startup timing on a test bench.

Quality Assurance for RF Radio firmware and system software - validation, regression and new feature testing.Radio system is part of the overall communication system for a smart grid Electrical System.Test case creation through Q-Test application, created and executed tests.Field support - configuring customer setups and analysis of issue seen.Wrote Excel VBA code to analyze field data from a pre and post software update to Radio firmware.Trouble shot Radio Repeater hardware/software down to a failed component in the charging section, worked with the hardware/software teams to get resolution to the failure.

Developing production testing procedures and testing scripts for using in early validation of factory software releases. Part of a team of people bridging the a gap between product development and product manufacturing.Created a lab testing environment for use in validating software and hardware functionality. Used to get software validation results quicker and improved factory testing software to production. Produced National Instruments software testing Virtual Instruments (VIs) to validate testing methods and specs for use in large scale production. Contributed to the testing document and methods in which high volume test implementation is developed.Created lab based testing environment and test setups for use in validating new software releases and new hardware integration. Utilized GPIB, USB, Ethernet and serial connections for automated control. Test setup on the Unit Under Test side was controlled through USB communication. The other interfaces were used to control the testing equipment.

Managed factory software releases to the prototyping factory through the integration of Software and Hardware for new platforms / products. Created software builds containing fixes for issues found while hardware testing in the factory. Utilized defect tracking software such as JIRA and other tracking tools to bring resolution to defects found.Provided software debugging support to test engineers to make sure software releases met expectation for test-ability. Made sure new or missed, necessary, software feature(s) were tested and included in the next factory releases. Worked closely with other Software and Hardware development teams to help drive down any potential defects from getting into the factory. Successfully and consistently lowered defect rates for several product / platform introductions. Reductions were achieved by creating a process for tracking and eliminating potential bugs or testing issues from happening in the factory.Modified code and builds as needed to make sure releases were provided on time.

• Redesigned and added features to custom thermal couple detecting device, improved selection of products offered for Gill Industries.• Created specs for redesign and created prototypes based on PIC 18 and 16 family, C and Assembly languages used.• Reverse engineered the software / firmware before making the changes due to lack of documentation.

Responsibilities involved writing software specifications, design documents and implementing “C” code to design specifications for microprocessor-based products.Designed and developed specialized Ethernet switch for providing additional services over Plan Old Telephone lines to residential customers.Selected processor and supporting hardware. Selected software support package; RTOS, software development environment.Wrote code in C, assembly, java while developing product.

• Engineering Technician worked on a Discrete Multi Tone DSL transmission core product. • Specified the microprocessor interfaces to the SRAM, FLASH, and serial debug port for the DMT project. • Preformed design reviews, coded from pseudo code. • Re-coded the MC68306 processor to DSP interface code work with a Motorola MC56301 and then to a MC56302 DSP. • Responsible for trouble shooting down to the component level. Assembled prototypes for lab testing and proof of concepts.• Assembled prototype boards containing high pitched QFP and TQFP parts.• Used EDA tools to create schematic and bill of material lists.

Transition new products from Engineering and Development to the Prototyping and product lines. Tracked defects and a member of the 6Sigma quality team to reduce defects on the production floor.Brought new products to production floor, trained technicians to trouble shoot new products and reduce defects. Worked with several cellular technologies, AMPs, NAMPS, ETACS, and PDC groups.
