Software developer

National Instruments

November

2008 - December 2010
As a software developer, my primary role is to ensure high level of quality of our Multisim and Ultiboard products. My day to day tasks include the validation and verification of product defects and fixes. I also create test plans for new features and lead the QA team in the execution of these test plans. Being an EDA user with a solid foundation in electronics, I am able to provide targeted advise and steer the team from a user oriented perspective. This allows us to catch many intricate defects in both the simulation and layout engines which may not be obvious to software developers. The validation and verification of these defects involve a great deal of domain knowledge which is invaluable when guaranteeing correct functionality of our products.
