bit file generation, PXI Programming, C Code integration (into LabVIEW using call library functions), ATEasy Development (C based
language), basic C++ Development, board design & diagnostic. I am also proficient in Test automation, (environmental, verification & failure
analysis), multiple testing applications and reliability testing.
I also have extensive knowledge of Microsoft Excel, Word, Visual studio, power point – I have written API documents detailing all
software development, Test Plans (DVT, EVT and other), Test reports & used excel for charting, math function’s and graphing test
applications, visual studio for source control etc.
I have excellent programming & test automation skills. Strong communication and customer service skills. I have the ability and desire
to learn and work well within a team environment.
 Experience:
 Rocky Mountain Automation Specialists Owner / Software Engineer 08/07 – Current
I have successful operated my own Software firm since 2007 whereas I have been working for various clients (37 at last count) performing a
multitude of Duties including developing software automation for complex ATE system in LabVIEW, primarily for Military, Space and Medical
Industries. The main focus has been writing automated software in LabVIEW, Test stand and FPGA code. In performing these duties, I also am
responsible for creating project files, executable code, installers and sequencing code in order to execute complex system testing. Modular drivers
are created for FPGA, PXI, IVI, VISA, AIM1553, JTAG & other interfaces; Agilent Power supplies, Eloads, AWG, RF Signal Generators, Pattern
Generators, DigIO, Logic Analyzers, Phase noise systems and NI Switch Matrix databases, Creating new LabVIEW code for the Agilent 8960 Cell
Tester & development of a bench top Cellular test for cell power level’s, bit error rates and AT code interface. Other duties are, overall responsibility
for complete software package on major ATE test system, FPGA code development (through both NI 784x series & NI7900 Series), creating bitfiles
and executable(s), direct Xlinx C code development wrapped into LabVIEW “Call Library. The JTAG & AIM1553 system had no LabVIEW interface
developed, I created (Based on the vendors C Code programming) specific Call library functionality to interface directly through LabVIEW to these
devices. I also developed Agilent’s proprietary Direct DCom “property node” interfaces to those devices, utilizing a remote access into LabVIEW
Code (which had not been accomplished prior). Composing API documents, code reviews & support documents, track and support all bug fix, and
development activities (using Visual Studio source control & Agile source control) overseeing & training junior software engineers. Developing test
automation for high speed data chips, I/O data, & data storage devices. Using LabVIEW, in concert with in house test boards for verification of chip
design, ATE support, and vector testing and failure analysis. Design and implement multiple test automation solutions to manufacturing site for post-
production verification. Implement in house test boards, FPGA, PXI, and GBIP automated test systems at ATE test site, along with at customer
based verification sites. Support all test automation solutions, documentation & failures.
As well as my Software duties, I set up each new challenge as a Project and I manage that project, many times this includes bringing in outside
resources to meet project deadlines, manage all vendor purchases and billing needs, invoice clients and maintain a professional business
relationship with both vendors and clients alike. Developing proposals for new Clients and advising them on specific technological needs and wants.

Resume for Donn Dunlavy (continued).
 Tandberg Data (formely Exabyte) ProductDevelopmentEngineer 07/02 – 07/07
Duties include, but are not limited to, development of automation in connection with testing & proving out design of disk array & tape libraries.
Duties are overthe life of the product, from development stage, to manufacturing of product and continued support of multiple products in the field. I
maintain a comprehensive manufacturing yield analysis, implement “lean” manufacturing practices and maintain them, diagnose both design flaws,
failed DVT units & field failures followed up by detailed failure reports & corrective action response (CAR). Test engineering duties include
development of fixtures & automation, using LabVIEW & other PLC components for the testing of main systems on product. Write test plans,
proposals & implementing them, conduct package testing, HALT/HASS testing, HP3070 and other board level testing. I worked with various backup
storage and disk technology including SCSI, SAS (Serial over SCSI)LTO, RAID & MegaRAID, and VXA. My primary duties had me setting up
multiple units in the various configuration and test single and multiple unit’s for failure analysis and or engineering design changes.
 Ball Aerospace & Technologies: Test Engineer 08/90 – 05/02
Duties include; designing, programming, fabrication, and documentation of overall testing for satellite sub-systems. These duties required review of
military, NASA & other agency requirements for testing components and/or complete system level testing. Developing LabVIEW programs to
interface automated test harnesses or fixtures. Design and setup data acquisition cards for retrieval of data from test fixtures. Fabricate the fixtures
using machine shop tooling. Fabricate designed PCB, troubleshoot them using typical electronic troubleshooting methodology. Compile a detailed
history of specific test design, BOM’s, autocad drawings, and written procedures on assembly process. Train junior technicians, troubleshooting and
repairing any problems with sub-systems and/or test fixtures again using typical electronic methodology and tools. All components are ESD and
fracture critical.
 United States Navy: FC2-E5 (Electronic Weapons Specialists) 07/86 – 07/90
Duties included various forms of troubleshooting to the component level utilizing test equipment such as oscilloscope, spectrum analyzers, DVM, and
frequency modulators. Schedule, delegate, and perform preventative maintenance on electronic, hydraulic and mechanical systems. Large gearing,
3phase motors, servos, and computer control systems. Supervise seven junior technicians as mount lead, whichincluded scheduling daily, weekly,
and monthly work duties/preventative maintenance schedules. Other systems included radar systems (waveguide, transmitters, and receivers) sea
water-cooling systems, high voltage power relays. Attended mil-spec and 2m soldering schools.
