Objective:
Seeking full-time position as an ASIC designer in multi-national telecom company.

Summary of Expertise

Expertise in high-speed digital circuits, RF circuits design, test bench environments timing analysis, signal integrity, crosstalk, power issues and EMI.

Create and execute detailed testing plans that include Functional, Regression, Performance, Stress, Load and White Box testing for the entire system.

TELLABS OPTICAL NETWORKING GROUP, Naperville, Il, USA. (1997 - 2002)
ASIC Developer, VLSI Group (2000 - 2002)

Responsible for the design of sub-blocks, designs specification development, architectural development, high and low level logical RTL design development. Performed Chip level functional verification, synthesis, static/dynamic timing analysis using Prime time, test vector generation and simulation. I worked in a small design team, 3-15 engineers on ASIC for Titan 6500 Broadband Multi-service platform.

Senior Member of Adaptive Network Solution (1997 - 2000)

Primary responsibility was transfering Voice Packet between PCI bus and Utopia bus protocol using Xilinx FPGAs for AN2100 ATM gateway. This product was a joint venture between Tellabs LTD in Shannon, Ireland, and the developers from Titan 5500.

Worked on low-level design of the packet generation and TDM interface for the voice-processing module. The module would receive an OC3 that was carrying voice traffic, buffer each call into separate data streams, cancel the echo, and then, pack that data into IP packets. Provided technical leadership, training and direction to less experienced Engineers and Technicians. Assisted in drafting and PCB design for DS0 switch module from concept to production for Titan 5500 Digital cross-connect. Responsible for the module bellcore compliance and standards.

POSITRON FIBER SYSTEM, Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Member of Adaptive Network Solution (1992 - 1996)

Assisted in the design of high-speed optical module from concept to production. Responsible for the design of generation/detection of MF, DTMF tones (Telephony).
Schematic capture, prepare design to layout, generation of BOMs, prototype validation. Experience with DSPs, and simulation tools. Designed a multipurpose DSP for 911 Emergency system, MFR1, MFR2, DTMF, Progress tone signaling, caller ID detection, and agent position identification.
