About Jeffrey High

Focused on project goals and customer needs, driving technical issues to resolution with experience in embedded system design and development. I develop, modify, and execute product validation by requirements analysis, regression root-cause analysis, HW/SW debugging, and automated test scripts.I am considered an insightful, optimistic, and thoughtful professional who spends sufficient time for accurate decision-making. I am comfortable building customer relationships, listening to different perspectives, and balancing quality and urgency to accomplish organizational goals.Strong sense of responsibility, task ownership, and follow-through.Intrinsic leadership capabilities to effectively communicate and influence change.Genuinely curious about technical topics and building relationships of trust and understanding.Improve Productivity | Purpose-Driven Product Development | Impactful Deliverables | Motivate & AdviseEmbedded Systems | Software Product Owner | Peer / Design / Code Review | Requirements Management | Technical Project ManagementProject Cost & Risk Management | Mitigation Planning & Tracking | Technical Specifications Written / Verbal / Presentation Communication | Technical Sales ENGINEERING COMPETENCIES- Embedded System Expertise: Embedded software design, development, hands-on troubleshooting, code review, HW/SW debug, validation, and testing experience- Product Certification: Managed product certification requirements during product development process: Defect tracking, requirements analysis/based testing, DOORS/Jama requirements traceability matrix- Cross platform development: MS Windows and Linux development for ARM Cortex M series and Atmel AVR microcontrollers.C/C++| Python | RTOS | Object Oriented Analysis and Design | SDKs / IDEs | IoT | Digital Signal Processing (DSP) & Digital FiltersDigital Design (FPGA/MPSoC): VHDL, Xilinx ISE/EDK | Simulation: MATLABAvailable for professional discussions: j••••••@gmail.com
