NortelFirmware Design Engineer
May. 2000 - Jan. 2004I was required to develop real-time firmware tools that allow hardware designers to test their new designs completely and with significant stress to check for marginal designs.
Intimately knowledgeable of Freescale PowerPC architecture, programming, and debugging using a variety of tools and environments.
Required to develop drivers for the following protocols and devices: RS232, I2C, HDLC, ATM (AAL0, UTOPIA2 PHY’s), Flash, EEPROM, FPGA Downloader, micro-wire programming of PLL’s. Implemented test automation and automated system control using National Instruments LabView.
Experience in Highly Accelerated Life Testing of new products which allows us to de-risk potentially weak hardware designs and increase our design margins in signal integrity.
