UCT (Formerly Ultra Clean Technology) is specializing in design and contract manufacturing of capital fabrication and test equipment for the Semiconductor, Medical and other industries. As senior member of the Automation team, my responsibilities include: ● Development of conceptual designs, technical proposals, specifications, cost estimates and schedules. ● New business opportunities: working cross-functionally with Sales, meetings with potential customers, preparing quotes, clarifying customer requirements. ● Design, documentation, and actively supporting build, testing, installation and commissioning of custom automation systems for the Automotive industry. (A-B PLC based control cabinets, custom robots, servo and VFD motion control, machine vision, conveyance, machine safety, power distribution). ● Integration, configuration, setup and programming of Keyence vision systems. Creation of schematics, layout drawings, BOMs and other supporting documentation for work performed in house or outsourced, and releasing through ECO process.

● Developed and implemented algorithms for Robust Control design, using simultaneous polynomial stabilization (Matlab, Control Systems Toolbox, Symbolic Math Toolbox). ● Worked with a team on developing a method for splitting a controller over network. Used wireless serial communication and rapid prototyping tools to build proof of concept and collect data (C, RTI). ● Developed framework for control systems algorithms implementation, using combination of automatic code generation and Real-Time OS multitasking (Real-Time Workshop, gcc, VxWorks, Tornado Target). ● Used xPC Target platform as “SW in the loop” to aid controller design and verification. ● Designed and built a fully functional prototype of 2-axis scanning sonar module (DC servo motors, encoders, ultrasonic rangefinding modules, PWM, H-bridge drivers, slip rings, microcontrollers, embedded C). ● Designed controllers in continuous-time domain, discretized the design and implemented using embedded microprocessor systems (Simulink embedded C, Keil IDE, Cygnal IDE).

* ● New Product Development, Specifications, Digital Hardware design, Embedded Microcontroller System design, Programmable Logic, Embedded uC Firmware, Team Leadership. * ● System design, digital hardware design of HDSL 2E1 Modem with reconfigurable G.704/V.35 application interface. * ● System design, digital hardware design of remotely-powered HDSL 2E1 repeater. * ● Design and implementation of embedded microprocessor systems for custom Telecom test & measurement tools * ● Embedded software design of Tester/Programmer for Intelligent Hall effect sensor automotive chips (joint project with Melexis, Belgium)
