Dear Sir/Madam,

I completed M.Engg. recently from Memorial University, NF, Canada.
My resume is enclosed herewith.

I have a broad academic and industrial background in digital and analog 
design with specialization in Microprocessor/Computer applications.  
I have an M.Engg. (Electrical Engineering) with emphasis on reliability
improvement techniques.  I am versatile in a number of computer languages.  
My practical experience in university microprocessor labs as a teaching 
assistant gave me valuable exposure to microcontroller applications.  

My 6+ years of industrial experience has given me extensive insight 
into design, testing,
documentation and manufacturing aspects of electronic systems and
has helped me develop strong interpersonal and communications skills.  
I was involved in all the phases of product design, prototype testing, 
product development/modification, project management, vendor development, 
acceptance test generation, customer interaction e.t.c. 

I did the extensive testing of various digital/analog systems and I am 
sure that my academic background  and experience match the qualifications 
you seek.  
I am confident that I can perform the job effectively and efficiently and 
make a significant contribution to your organization.

Thank you for your consideration. 

    
				K.P. Singh

OBJECTIVE: 
	   	Seek a challenging position where I can use my experience 
		and knowledge.

EDUCATION:  
		M.Engg. - Electrical Engg.		present 
			  Memorial University
			  GPA: 3.0/3.0
			  Status: thesis examination is being done.

	    
		B.Tech. - Electronics Engg.		1984
			  Institute of Technology, BHU, INDIA
		          GPA: 8.57/10.0    (first class with honours)

   
     M.Engg. Course Work: 
		
		Digital Filtering 	 (80%)
	     	VLSI Design 		 (85%)
	     	Computer Networks 	 (85%)
	     	Fault-Tolerant Computing (90%)

     Projects: 

	  1. Designed and simulated a floating point multiplier and
	     adder chip (with 8 bit signed mantissa and 4 bit signed
	     exponent) using Cadence and SILOS.

	  2. Developed a general purpose program for simulating the 
	     reconfiguration algorithms.

     Thesis:

	I developed an on-line reconfiguration algorithm for array 
	processors which tolerates processing element and link 
	(switching network) failures. This algorithm requires very 
	little additional hardware in the design of processing elements 
	and it doesn't need any external control for invoking the 
	reconfiguration. In addition, it doesn't introduce much delays, 
	in case of a fault-occurrence. (Further details will be provided 
	on request)
			
COMPUTER SKILLS:

	VLSI tools: 	   CADENCE, SILOS, SPICE
	Languages:  	   C, Fortran, 8086 assembly language
	Operating Systems: Unix, VAX/VMS, MS-DOS
	Computer:	   VAX, DEC workstations

EXPERIENCE:   

  1. Teaching Assistant: 	September 1990-present
			

	At Memorial university, I am doing various Teaching assistantships 
	for mathematics and electrical engineering courses (out of which 
	the digital logic and microprocessor courses are the key courses).

  2. Design/Testing: 		July 1984 - August 1990
				Space Electronics Division
				Bharat Electronics 
				Bangalore, India
				(Deptt. of Defence, Govt. of India)

	I was involved in the design of a servo system for 
	satellite-tracking-antenna-movement control and various testing 
	units for different digital circuits. 

	The servo system was initially an analog design but later an 8086 
	based system was incorporated to facilitate the operation. Since the 
	system has to be highly reliable and highly available, both analog 
	and digital controls are blended to get more reliability. 

	The other projects involved the design of testing modules and 
	improvement of existing circuits for testability.

	My responsibilities included product design, engineering, 
	approving PCB layout, documentation, prototype testing and 
	post-production testing, customer interaction 
	and vendor development. 

	I gained valuable experience in the following areas :

   a.  Design:

	Gained a lot of experience in the field of space quality system 
	design, analog-digital interface, safety interlocks and testability
	improvement techniques.

	I designed the complete servo system (described earlier) and 
	automatic testing system for various digital PCBs.

	Since it was a low quantity (and high quality) production, I was 
	the only electronics engineer responsible for the product development
	and production. I interacted with the customer (Indian Space Research
	Organisation) to get  the product specifications.


   b.  Production:

	I Prepared the various production documents such as part lists,
	wire-lists, wiring diagrams, network drawings, etc.
	In addition, I was involved in locating various suppliers and 
	vendor development.  I interacted with production and purchase 
	departments and was involved in the post production testing and 
	installation  of the system also.


   c. Testing:

	I performed extensive testing of various systems. Generated 
	acceptance level test documents and lead the testing team to 
	ensure the quality of produced systems.
