- Dear Prospective Employer:
-
- I am currently working towards my Master's degree in Computer
- Engineering and will graduate in May 1993. At that time I would like to
- continue my career in a research, design or development oriented environment.
- I would be most interested in a position that will challenge my skills in
- both hardware and software.
-
- I have taken graduate courses in both software and hardware fields and
- am doing research on local and global optimization methods for technology
- mapping in field-programmable gate arrays. I have successfully implemented
- such a technology mapper in 12,000 LOC in C++.
-
- As can be seen from my resume, I have also gained significant experience
- in hardware and software design at GTE Government Systems. I completed
- several large projects involving multiple processors, FPGAs, and surface
- mount technology. I developed and implemented several low-level inter-
- processor communications protocols. I also analyzed the trade-offs between
- hardware and software designs and pointed out potential performance
- bottlenecks in both domains. On several occasions I acted as a technical
- liaison between the more traditional hardware and software groups and have
- been asked to provide recommendations on processor selection and performance
- trade-offs to the Systems Department.
-
- I am looking forward to hearing from you about any suitable openings
- which you may have and will be glad to discuss my qualifications in more
- detail. I can be reached at my home address or in my office at NCSU
- (Tel. 919-515-7610).
-
- Sincerely,
-
- Opher D. Kahn

- EMPLOYMENT
- ----------
-
- >> RESEARCH ASSISTANT, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC.
- January 1992 to present.
-
- * Develop heuristic local optimization techniques for technology mapping
- in Xilinx FPGAs. Compare them with global optimizations such as
- simulated annealing. Implement the algorithms in 12,000 LOC of C++
- under UNIX as part of a large educational CAD-CAE project.
-
-

- hardware, developed software and firmware, tested and debugged prototypes,
- generated design documentation.
-
- * Designed dual-processor architecture composed of 320C25 DSP and 68000
- host in a shared-memory configuration, as part of a multi-network
- tactical communications card. Utilized two Xilinx FPGAs and surface
- mount technology. Conceived the inter-processor communication scheme
- and coded the DSP portion in C and Assembly.
-
- * Designed a 25 MHz 68020 control card for a 13 card/20 processor
- telephone-trunk conversion system. Used dual-port memory for inter-
- processor communication.
-
- * Completed these and other projects with minimal supervision, on or
- ahead of aggressive schedules, while meeting all system requirements.
-
-
- >> SYSTEMS OPERATOR, North Carolina State University, Raleigh, NC.
- January 1989 to June 1989.
-
- * Part time systems operator in the ECE department's computer facility,
- which included a VAX-VMS system and a network of VAXstation 2000
- computers under UNIX.
-
-
- SKILLS
