As a Lead
Embedded Software Engineer in the Electronic Instrumentation department, I provide not
only technical support but also am called upon to mentor other engineers new to the
section. I have worked closely with both domestic and international customers in all
phases of the product development process from capturing customer requirements to
launching automotive products with embedded software. Interfaced with customers in Japan
(Honda and Mazda), Germany (VW), and England (Jaguar), on-site technical reviews in
Brazil, and supported manufacturing site in Portugal.
Current projects include;
Stepper Motor Core Software driver package for interfacing either
Switec or MMT stepper motors to Driver Information products. Task includes generating
software requirements, design specification, implementation, unit test, and user
documentation as well as holding reviews and following the Visteon Software Process.
Investigating alternative to ASIC interface chip using PIC processor.
Past projects include the following;
1998 Honda Instrument Cluster, 1998.5 Mazda J97 Cluster: Currently providing
software for this high-volume instrument cluster based on the Motorola 68HC05B6.
1997 Jaguar Instrument Cluster: This is a high-end instrument cluster that
contains 6 stepper motors, a message center, and two in-vehicle networks; CAN
(Controller Area Network) and SCP (Standard Corporate Protocol). The cluster
uses a Motorola 68HC11KA2 microcontroller and the software is written in a mixture of C
and assembler. Created CAN interface for network emulation including Visual Basic program
for access to the network from a PC.
1995.5 VW/Ford European Instrument Cluster: This instrument cluster consists of
3 version from a basic 4 air-core gauge cluster to an added warnings module to one with a
trip computer. This cluster uses a Motorola 68HC11E20 micro and is programmed in
assembler.
