Jose Manuel Sandoval Chavez
Software engineer with experience in embedded systems and software development, committed to developing high-quality software and following best practices and processes of software engineering.
I consider myself a disciplined professional with a high motivation for learning about new technologies.
Professional Experience
System Validation Engineer
The team is focused on the enablement of new HW & SW components to validate Non-Volatile mass storage products. My role involves enabling of new HW used for validation, automating the integration of new SW components and operating systems to enable the test content used for validation of storage products.
Non-Volatile Storage Group System Validation Engineer
The team was focused on the validation of Non-Volatile mass storage products. My role involved the creation of test content, implementing test cases, debugging test content failures and supporting the automation framework used for validation.
Network Platforms Group SW and System Validation Engineer
The team was focused on the enabling and validation of a hardware accelerator module, used for compression, encryption and cipher operations, which is part of high-performance server products/processors. As part of the team my main focus was helping on the creation of device drivers and software in C/C++ and Python that could enable an OS to use and validate this specialized hardware accelerator module. My main role was as a C/C++ SW developer responsible of supporting the existing software projects and applications used for validation besides developing new SW modules to enable features and new validation use cases.
Audio and Accessories Embedded Software Developer / Engineer
The team was focused on developing software for audio applications and also on enabling the creation of general smartphone consumer accessories. During this period, I worked on the following projects:
- Homekit over Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) software stack for Freescale's microcontrollers. I was part of a team developing a software stack that could enable the creation of home-automation accessories intended to be controlled by Apple devices using BLE as a transport.
- Freescale Connected Audio Solution Project which intended to provide a software stack to create consumer audio accessories. In this project I was responsible for integrating and supporting a software stack that enabled the communication with Apple devices.
Internship - Freescale Audio and Accessories SW Development Group Intern
The main project was to develop a software stack that could interface Freescale's microcontrollers with any iPod, iPad or iPhone over USB using MFi (Made For iPod) protocol to enable the creation of audio or general-purpose accessories. A solution that interfaced these devices and supported the creation of bare-metal and RTOS applications was successfully implemented.
