JOB OBJECTIVE:

Design engineering position requiring the combination of hardware and software 
expertise.


SRI Intl., Menlo Park California, Dec. `95 to present.

As a research engineer within a group of 15 other engineers I am responsible for 
designing hardware and software for commercial products such as flat panel 
displays, sensors, and medical devices.

Developed 15 PCBs, 15 prototypes, and around 20 miscellaneous test circuits:

   ·  Two separate 24-bit video            ·  Oil particle sensor
      digitizers                           ·  High temperature transistor-based 
   ·  High-Voltage Flat Panel display         analog filters
      drivers                              ·  RF signal processing
   ·  Digital Video Processor              ·  Video rate photo detector
   ·  Analog signal processing
   ·  Ultra low power medical 
      instrument
Wrote software for 9 different applications. Most of the major subsystems:

   ·  PIC microcontroller OS               ·  Closed loop control 
   ·  LCD driver                           ·  Data acquisition
   ·  I2C driver                           ·  Signal generators
   ·  Temperature sensors                  ·  MAC based digital I/O driver
   ·  Signal processing                    ·  Linux hacks


For about 90% of these projects I was the sole developer, including even the 
layout and routing of the PCBs. (I was the only EE of the engineering group for 
most of the time).


Basic Measuring Instruments, Santa Clara California, Sept. `94 to Dec. `95.

As a Senior Design Engineer within a group of 10 engineers I was responsible for 
designing hardware and software for power quality instruments. Some of the 
projects I worked on were:

  ·  Developed multi-rate digital filters for a TMS320C52 based product.
  ·  Developed digital phase locked loop for the same product.
  ·  Designed 5'th order Bessel and Elliptic analog filters.
  ·  Designed a unity power factor off-line supply that had an integrated 
     battery charger and several isolated voltages. 
  ·  Preliminary design for a DSP-based three-phase power monitoring instrument.
  ·  Product support for SCADA.

Landis & Gyr, San Jose California, Feb. `87 to Sept. `94

As a Design Engineer within a group of 10 engineers I was responsible for 
designing hardware for both microcontroller based and 80386 based software.

Developed 15 PCB's for industrial data acquisition systems (RTU's):

   ·  12-bit 8-channel Analog-to-          ·  64-channel Relay output 
      Digital converter                       controller
   ·  14-bit 24-channel isolated           ·  EIA485 to Fiber Optic 
      Analog-to-Digital converter             asynchronous transceiver
   ·  32-channel Digital Input board       ·  24V, 20Khz to 110V DC UPS with 
      (5,12,125V inputs)                      integrated Lead-Acid battery 
   ·  64-channel 24V digital output           charger
      board                                ·  PAL-based bus interface board
Developed the software for the PCB's designed above. Also wrote software as part 
of a 10-person software only project. Some of the software highlights include

   ·  Converted a 20 man-year 8086         ·  Network protocol (3 layers of the 
      application into a 80386                ISO 7-layer)
      protected mode application.          ·  Microcontroller OS
   ·  80386 multitasking between           ·  Signal processing algorithms
      multiple virtual processors          ·  A/D analysis software
   ·  SCSI driver
   ·  Re-wrote all of the hardware 
      drivers in a major software 
      retrofit.

  ·  Extremely self-motivated.
  ·  Learn quickly with little assistance
  ·  Competent with computers from hardware to software
  ·  Keen mathematical comprehension. See my theory web page to see a tiny 
     snippet of my interests.


EXPERIENCE:
