Employment History:
Associate Test Engineer December 1984 - September 1985
Saber Technology Inc.
2381 Bering Drive
San Jose, California
Responsibilities included developement of strategies
for an effective manufacture test flow, employment and
training of technicians to test procedures and aquisition
of necessary test material.
Responsible for design of a stand-alone system test module
for the UNIX based gaphics workstation. System designed around
the National 32032 family, multiple bus structure, utilizing
DMA to the memories, peripherals and graphic accelorators.
Test module resides in the workstation, burn-in racks or
stand alone test fixture.
This microprocessor and state machine is highly adapatable
through firmware programming to workstation design alterations.
Senior Engineering Technician February 1982 - June 1983
Sierra Technology Inc. (contract agency)
4444 Manzanita
Sacramento, California
Exploration Logging: (first contract)
Developed new product in colaboration with Engineer Geoff
Stephenson. Eighty-five percent responsible for hardware
design, twenty percent responsible for software. Product
known as `Torque-Turn Control' for use in explosive gas
enviroment (oil drill sites).
Hardware consisted of dual (RCA 1805) processor, DMA system
to medium resolution display memory, printer and keyboard ports
and designed with high speed CMOS for low current requirements.
This unit, intelligent field controller and graphic
printer each enclosed in neutral gas pressurized boxes included
low current, intrinsically safe power-up interlocks.
University of California Davis: (second contract)
Entered uncompleted project as member of two-man team.
Finished installation of main enviromental control (PDP 11/34 )
computer, and it's eighty micro-based field control
systems.
System handles heating and cooling throughout approximately
thirty buildings on campus. Required correction of existing
documentation and testing of hardware/software control over
some twenty-five hundred points of monitor and control.
Stanford Linear Accelorator Center March 1979 - August 1981
Fabricated and tested experimental Nuclear Instrumentation
Modules, CAMAC system boards and related test equipment.
Implemented required designs and changes, maintained and
upgraded documents of PEP and SPEAR and performed maintenance
on computers, RF systems, control panels and communications.
Professional education:
