1998-7 - 2000-5 · 1 yr 11 mos

* Board- and system-level diagnostic programmer, delivering diagnostics and testing strategies for quality assurance and manufacturability of Praxon's PDX, a VxWorks-based PBX product. * Board level programming * Device drivers for Ethernet NIC chip and ID eeprom. The eeprom was used by Manufacturing and Customer Support to track board and system hardware revision levels * System level manufacturability * Proposed and implemented a cost-effective system-level hardware/software testing strategy for the PDX manufacturing line. The test system successfully balanced the requirements for cost, ease of use by non-technical personnel, and thorough system validation. * Trained manufacturing personnel to use the test stations. Using my test system, Praxon was able to exceed its Manufacturing defect goal (no more than 0.1% defect rate). Of the several hundred PDX units shipped, Praxon had no returns due to manufacturing defects.
