Alan Takahashi
Senior Software Engineer
Embedded Systems Design
South San Francisco, California
I am an embedded software engineer with 14+ years of experience. Most of
my experience has been in the telecom and datacom industries to date.
My engineering work has covered a number of areas including:
- adding protected memory management for vxWorks.
- designing and implementing a high availability solution for Nortel's Meridian 1 PBX series.
- creating an active diagnostics package to aid in board/package bring up during development.
- creating a file system for use by a system monitering package.
- creating BSPs to bootstrap prototype and production boards.
I have also been active in areas outside of the core engineering work:
- Created and maintained a build procedure using make files, SCCS package (PLS, Clearcase) and GNU tools. Essentially a Release Coordinator for a number of different projects.
- Worked with a number of Manufacturing Teams to both set up testing and validation procedures for product verification and to iron out problems that have cropped up upon a new product release.
- On the software side, assisted the Integration Team to iron out problems in integrating our (Operating System Team) fixes with fixes in other groups.
- Worked with Field Support when problems have been escalated, and have "babysat" at some first deployments of new products at customer sites.
