Confidential, Milpitas, CA

Senior Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Developed a tool command domain allowing multiple simulators to start from a single definition. Five projects around 1000 scenarios were developed for both success and error cases. Several ran six simulators in parallel. The tool allowed for single command execution and log storage to CVS with a rapid modeling feature to allow test cases to be based off existing call flows. In house tool development lead to affordable testing that was always on time. Tool was developed in TCL, simkin, c shell and C++. Message formats were stored in XML.
• Tested protocols conformance for voice, video and data supporting HNBAP, M3UA, Megaco H.248, RANAP, S1 radius, SCCP, STCP, system call flow messaging, intra femtocell and HNB relocation.
• Wrote test cases for relocation call processing, Hot Swap management, access points, femtocells, HNB, Differential Billing, SAC override, AAA and have been involved in testing all features related to the system.
