- Dear Prospective Employer:
-
- I am currently working towards my Master's degree in Computer
- Engineering, and will graduate in May 1993, at which 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 and enhance
- my skills in both hardware and software.
-
- As can be seen from my resume, I have significant experience in both
- hardware and software design. I have 2.5 years experience in industry and
- 1.5 years in a research environment. I feel as though my experience and
- abilities will allow me to make a meaningful contribution to the work at
- your company.
-
- 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

- SUMMARY
-
- Innovative, productive, with four years of achievement-oriented experience
- in the development and design of both hardware and software. Proven
- ability to complete complex projects involving multiple processors, FPGAs
- and surface mount technology on schedule and within budget. Excellent
- analytical and research skills.

-
- EXPERIENCE
-
- GRADUATE RESEARCH ASSISTANT, North Carolina State
- University, Raleigh, NC. Jan. 1992 - 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 13,000 LOC of C++
- under UNIX as part of a large educational CAD-CAE project.
-
-
- HARDWARE DESIGN ENGINEER, GTE Government Systems, RTP, North
- Carolina. Jun. 1989 - Jan. 1992.
-
- * Performed system analysis and architecture trade-off studies, designed
- 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.
