Brandon Brown

Developed, implemented, and maintained custom billing, accounting, and payroll software to increase operations efficiency and reduce overhead.

Design, implementation, testing, and debugging of the Lexica Deep Trace system, a data tracer and engineering tool used by hardware engineers for a leading semi-conductor firm. Travel for on site customer support.

A key member of a hardware engineering team whose responsibilities include design and support of a new cost-reduced video multiplexer architecture as well as design and implementation of new encoder products. Responsible for design elements including architecture specification writing, schematic capture, part selection and negotiation, FPGA/PLD Verilog coding, placement and layout reviews, as well as lab bring-up, diagnostic testing and debug, organization of QA procedures, FCC, DVT, thermal testing, and release to manufacturing. Primary engineer responsible for design, implementation, documentiation, and testing of a 12-port switch fabric implemented in an Altera Stratix FPGA with a bandwidth of 1.3 Gbps per link. This was the backbone of the next-generation encoder product line, responsible for supporting both control and data paths. Primary engineer for design, implementation, documentation, and testing of a 4 port analog/digital audio compression card supporting MPL2, AC3, and AAC. Designed and simulated a video filter/re-routing FPGA and backplane management FPGA in a mixed Verilog/AHDL environment.
