Quality Acceptance Project Manager - ATEME January 2008 – September 2011 (3 years 9 months)
ATEME’s products recognized quality is obviously depending on our R&D team. But as a Quality Acceptance Project
Manager I had the crucial task of making sure that our latest firmware and hardware achieved the quality level
expected.
As the first member of this new team I have been involved in:
● Define, install and manage the technical equipment needed to achieve this new qualification process:
○ A complete SD/HD/3G-SDI network to distribute video throughout the company with its SDI matrix.
○ A complete separate Gigabit Ethernet network to separated streaming and administrative/management
networks of the company.
○ A few HD-SDI servers self-built around Blackmagic Design or AJA boards, and the set of video, audio
and data sequences used by the qualification process.
○ The Satellite reception, consisting of 4 fixed satellites using Quad LNB.
○ Various Settop boxes, AES/SDI embedder, Dolby E encoder, SDI/ASI analyzers, IRDs, PDUs, etc.
● Define the Qualification Acceptance Procedure content and keep them up to date with the products’ evolutions.
● Report the bugs found and track their correction in interaction with the Product Managers.
● Develop a few python or bash scripts to automate some of the tests.
Being the right hand of the Quality Acceptance Manager, I was also involved in part of the organisation of this service:
Planning of the products to be qualified, redaction of the Qualification procedures, management of two Quality
Acceptance technicians.
