Resume 2008
Content for rough draft.
Experience
Product Engineer, Cadence Design Systems, Ottawa, Canada
- Dates: November 2003 - December 2007
General
- Involved in all things related to the Analog Design Environment, a.k.a. ADE or Analog Artist.
IC 6.1.2 Release
- Assembled and maintained the database bundle (IC612_Whatsnew) used for internal and external customer beta testing.
Other Projects
- Documented and proposed solutions to licensing hacks, exploits and loop-holes to be cleaned up in the IC 6.1.1 and IC 6.1.2 releases.
- Initiated exploration into the use of multimedia (i.e. Flash videos and screen-capture using Adobe Captivate) for documentation and tutorial purposes.
- Wrote the specification and developed prototypes for future revisions to datasheet generation from the ADE XL user interface.
Applications Engineer, Cadence Design Systems, Ottawa, Canada
- Dates: October 1999 - October 2003
Responsibilities
Worked in the field demonstrating software, troubleshooting customer issues, conducting workshops and delivering educational services courses.
Specialized in analog/mixed-signal IC electronic design automation (EDA) software. This included supporting the Analog Design Environment (a.k.a. Analog Artist), schematic capture, mixed-signal simulation using both the Verimix (a.k.a. Spectre-Verilog) and AMS Designer flows and engines, and parasitic back-annotation flows using Diva and Assura extraction results.
Pet Projects of Note
- Wrote scripts to assist with SpectreHDL to Verilog-A behavioural code translation.
- Wrote interactive SKILL code to generate schematics from Spectre netlists.
- Wrote multiple approaches to direct Spectre and SPICE netlist to Verilog-AMS conversion.
Design Analysis Engineer, Chipworks, Ottawa, Canada
- Dates: May 1998 - October 1999
Intern in Microelectronics at CMC Microsystems
- Dates: May 1997 - May 1998
Education
