1. Test Development Engineer, Analog Devices, Limerick, Ireland July 2011 - Sept 2013
Test program development using Visual Basic for Test with the automotive microcontroller
group. I was part of a graduate team that successfully designed a new ADC DC
measurement system for test time reduction.
Test board design using Cadence Allegro (a CAD system). I quickly grasped the design
tool and designed multiple area efficient test boards. I also soldered replacement parts.
Qualification manager for integrated battery sensor. Iworked with a team of test engineers
on various projects. My supervisor and I worked on an original test program until I was
ready to take on the qualification program myself. Qualification for automotive parts are
rigorous as parts need to be safe and cheap. This requires many tests in a short amount
of time. With careful planning and co-operation I helped successfully complete the
qualification of the ADuCM331 battery sensor, a part found in many modern cars which
use Stop-Start systems
