From March 2010 to December 2010 (10 months) Senior Verification Engineer @ Reporting to the VP of the engineering this role as senior verification engineer put me in overall control of the company’s newest software product. This product (ZigBee PRO wireless networking Protocol) is a low energy wireless self-healing meshing network system of multiple nodes designed to control and monitor any system. Software Products are written in C with the addition of XML controlled configurations using a graphical interface to control network parameters. I have written the test Specifications and Plans for these platforms as well as scripting tests (mostly in PYTHON), performing tests and releasing test reports to VP of Engineering. I am also an internal auditor making sure we comply with ISO9001 and TickIT standards prior to inspection. I am responsible for day-to-day control of project activities, including staff workload (current 3 test engineers active on project) as well as technical decision-making on project direction, timescales and release dates. My role also involves adding to the Software Development system in place with the addition of ISO9001 compliant documentation for testing automated regression systems (Using a UART and PYTHON based solution). ZigBee PRO wireless networks consist of small devices based on the 802.15.4 standard and are powered by a single ‘AA’ cell able to communicate with each other over the air, they have a coordinator that controls the network and can contain sensors for collecting data and/or controlling other systems. They are very low power (15mA when transmitting), and hundreds of nodes can connect together to create a self- healing meshing network. From October 2008 to January 2010 (1 year 4 months) Test engineer @ From May 2006 to October 2008 (2 years 6 months) Software Tester @ TTPCOM produced a low cost highly integrated solution for designing a new mobile phone. My main project while there was working on the companies AJAR solution that allowed a customer to quickly design a front end and used experience for a new handset while all the operations were handled in the background. I was in charge of a group of 2-4 contractors testing iterations of the AJAR software using a C based scripting and test system. All systems were developed in house and were based around an automated build and test process introduced by me. I would take a release of software from all teams around the world overnight using the Perforce version control tool. This would then be tagged and tested automatically overnight to ensure it built and compiled. The product would then be flashed onto a prototype board and with the use of AT style commands a basic ‘sanity check’ would be performed. Multiple handsets would call each other and SMS, MMS using GSM, GPRS and CDMA (3G) networks; all this was done automatically using the test tool (Called BORG). I would then fix any defects in the code or pass the issue onto any relevant developer in the UK, USA or Taiwan/China. I was also running the companies GSM Certification activities. This involved taking product to a test house and performing a set of tests issued by the GSM standards body to ensure that our systems could be accredited as GSM certified products. I would pre-test all our systems using bench tests to ensure compliance prior to using the test house. My day-to-day tasks involved assigning work to test engineers, performing tests and reporting to management. I also conducted interviews and selected candidates for employment. Any problems with staff were handled by me in the first instance. From 2005 to 2006 (1 year) test development engineer @ From 2000 to 2002 (2 years)
