Selected Accomplishments
Designed and developed numerous digital controller and interface boards, including System Controller boards, IP ↔ ATM interfaces, Ethernet ↔ GPON interfaces. & Camera ↔ Video Encoder interfaces, meeting requirements, schedules and budgets, products are either profitably deployed or in demonstration phase.
Subject Matter Expert for embedded microprocessor design on telecom product for a period of 7 years. Kept pace with microprocessor, memory and peripheral technologies. Worked with software and systems groups for new processor selection. Designed or oversaw all microprocessor designs in system. Successfully guided project through three microprocessor upgrades allowing system to meet enhancement requirements.
Released to production three generations of Optical Line Terminations (ONT) for Alcatel-Lucent’s 7342 GPON FTTU. Designed, developed and lead team. Projects were on time and within budget.
Architected and implemented Verilog design of OC48 and OC12 line, section and path transmit overhead functions of OC48 and OC12 ASICs.
Developed Perl test code for that converted Ethernet/UDP packet data into time-series waveforms from multi-channel sonar receiver. Code performed FFTs, analyzed noise floor, dynamic range, coherent noise, harmonic distortion, and measured phase and amplitude.
Developed Perl calibration code for Raman spectrometer. Used splining techniques and polynomial regression to approximate recorded reference spectrum and generate calibration polynomial.
Professional Experience
Qualcomm, Raleigh, North Carolina Dec 2014-Oct 2015
Emulation Engineer, Contract
Instantiated ASIC RTL for server processors on in-house, Xilinx XC7V2000T and Ultrascale based emulation platforms used in hardware and software verification testing. Adapted RTL for FPGA environment. Ran synthesis with Synopsis Synplify, and place and route with Xilinx Vivado. Generated PLL IP and ran static timing analysis in Vivado. Generated tcl timing and placement constraints. Generated Xilinx binaries for use in verification test. Ran regression tests on overall platform. Probed and debugged individual subsystems in lab as needed. Effort involved as many as 10 to ~100 Vertex 7 or Ultrascale FPGAs, working with 10 engineers with similar assignments. Emulation and verification testing allowed for bug discovery and repair prior to initial tape-out, shortening overall development time.
OpticAngle, Morrisville, North Carolina Oct-Nov 2014
Design Engineer, Contract
Designed and implemented Analog Devices AD7390 10-bit video encoder-based medical video device. Chose video format and camera/encoder interface, selected components, drew schematics and laid out board using Altium Designer. Camera exceeded design requirements and was demonstrated to investors 2 months ahead of scheduled.
Ultra Electronics, 3 Phoenix, Wake Forest, North Carolina 2012-2014
Lead Systems Engineer
System engineer and technical lead for multi-channel sonar front-end and telemetry. Interfaced with customer, reported at customer led design reviews, analyzed and adjusted customer requirements, specified system architecture, lead cross-functional development team, planned staffing and schedule, ran design reviews, interfaced with project management and contract manufacturing, wrote and performed factory acceptance and performance verification test procedures, and wrote test code. Product was successfully tested to have met all requirements, and was delivered on time to customer for system prototype development. Required ...
