- 2. Worked with IC designers and test community to define our digital test direction (Boundary Scan,OVS,IDDq) as a Senior Member of R&D team for Next Generation Hybrid Tester (NGHT) Test System Development project. Automated Boundary Scan Serial Vector Format (SVF) file generation and IDDq strobe selection SVF File Splitter Utility using LabVIEW resulting in reduced time-to-market and eliminating human error. Instituted company wide use of Adobe Acrobat for test release documentation review tool to allow offline document reviews with ensured capture of all reviewers comments by importing all Acrobat comments into a single PDF resulting in improved review and documentation. As Senior member of Test System Development team, led effort to replace Tektronix VXI Boundary Scan solution with state of the art PC Based PCI Boundary Scan Controller card that sped up vector throughput, reduced test time, and improved yield due to improved SNR as a result of gated TCK clock. Developed improved scan methodologies via peek and poke of DUT I/O addresses by a pseudo macro method of replacing in a compiled SVF file and later DMA replacement of scan cells to setup DUT for analog tests resulting in improved observability of DUT scan state and reduced test time. Taught LabVIEW applied test based classes internally. Defined test strategy for the latest product line which was a cost reduction effort to save Medtronic $30 million per year.
