About Akshat Guptta

I am a R&D Engineer Test 4 at Broadcom Inc, a leading provider of semiconductor and infrastructure software solutions. I have over ten years of experience in doing post silicon validation for complex system-on-chip (SoC) products, with a focus on WiFi and Bluetooth combo silicon. My core competencies include debugging, problem-solving, test automation in Python, test setup bring-up, and cross-functional collaboration to bring issues to closure. I am an innovative, a very hands-on person, and have been recognized by Broadcom with five spot awards so far for my excellent work. I have a strong understanding of different lab equipment and the communication protocols such as I2C and SPI. Additionally, I have experience with programmable system on chip, working with overseas development partners, and documenting engineering processes. I hold a MS in Electrical Engineering from San Jose State University.

Experience

1. R & d Engineer Test 4

   Broadcom

   Nov 2017 — Present · San Jose, CA, US

   Develop detailed validation test plans and methodologies for high-volume WiFi/BT combo silicon.• Automate test execution in Python. • Test the hardware, firmware, one-time programmable(OTP) region, and digital interfaces of the SoC.• Run test cases, analyze results, document bugs, and work with cross-functional teams to debug issues.• Bring up the hardware test fixtures to automate testing for PCIe and other digital interfaces.• Train and supervise contingent workforce.• Document different engineering processes.• Developed a new test suite from the ground up on Linux platform to automate tests for WiFi ICs in Shell language. It reduced the testing time for a new firmware by 75%.• Received a ‘Spot Award’ for defining a detailed test plan for a new feature, testing it, and automating it in Python.
