SUMMARY
=======

A result-oriented project leader with more than eleven years hands-on
experience in the design and development environment. Major strengths
are the hardware design of ASICs, PALs, printed-circuit-board logic,
and systems. Additional skills utilizing the CAE tools, hardware 
modeling and synthesis (VHDL, ABEL) in design verification. A 
dependable, thorough, well-organized technical leader who delivers
engineering tasks on time.


TECHNICAL SKILLS
=================

Programming and Test Languages:  Pascal, C, Mediator
Systems and Test Equipment:  VAX-11/780: VMS, Sentry 50, S780
Workstation and Simulation:  Racal-Redac: Visula/Cadat, Daisy: DNIX,
                             Sun: UNIX, Valid

PROJECT LEADER.  Responsible for system hardware design,
	implementation and characterization of controller boards and
	subsystems for S780 In-Circuit tester. Managed system-wide
	projects, such as universal AC/DC, controller, and interconnect
	subsystems.

   o	Completed design and manufacturing introduction of System
	Control Card (SCC) for S780/S790 test systems. Features 
	include real-time parallel and serial port controller/monitor
	using the VME bus interface, utilizing Programmable Logic
	(PAL) and FPGA.

   o	Designed and introduced to manufacturing the protocol-controlled
	Serial Port Interface Board (SPIB). Reduced hardware and software
	overhead by using the MC68050 programmable micro-controller.

STAFF DESIGN ENGINEER.  Responsible for design and simulation of ASIC
	gate array, ECL/CMOS logic design and test developments.

   o	Designed, developed, and verified the latch buffer gate array,
	using the VTI CMOS process, achieving higher current output
	drive and lower noise on power bus and switching outputs.

   o	Produced full-fledged design and fabrication of Pin Control
	assembly for a low-cost test system utilizing double-sided
	surface mount technology to achieve higher device density on
	board. Features included mixed ECL and CMOS ASICs in timing
	and logic paths.

   o	Automated the S70 and ECL interface module, including
	instruments such as HP5328 counter-timer and HP8016 word
	generator to test high-speed ECL boards. Wrote extensive
	MEDIATOR and Pascal programs to control the interface and
	instruments.

SENIOR DESIGN ENGINEER.  Responsible for design of the ECL/CMOS
	logic boards, system integration, and development of system
	options.

   o	Completed design and manufacturing introduction of digital
	ECL/CMOS Pin Control and timing multiplexer boards. Features
	included controlled impedence, differential signal path, and
	utilized 100K ECL logic and Programmable Logic Array (PAL).

   o	Led project for the 100MHz option of the Sentry 50, including
	precise coordination of activities of hardware design, 
	modification of software diagnostics, and calibration efforts
	for on-time delivery to customers.

   o	Integrated and brought-up various high-speed boards for Sentry
	50/100MHz test systems. Wrote extensive diagnostic programs
	to debug and troubleshoot the timing multiplexer and formatting
	boards.

DESIGN ENGINEER.  Responsible for design and development of ASIC gate
	arrays for the S50 test system.

   o	Designed, implemented, simulated, and tested various ASICs
	using the 100K ECL National process, including timing and
	formatting gate arrays. These gate arrays were used in the
	shared-timing architecture of the Sentry 50 test system, and
	included multiplexing features for maximum number of timing
	paths, lowest possible noise and cross-talk, with minimum
	path-to-path skew delay.
