Speech Processor Test System Enhancements – Cochlear Ltd

Designed a microprocessor based board, to increase test coverage of Cochlear’s Speech Processor.
Used an 80C51 flash based microcontroller with analogue and digital peripheral ICs.
Wrote and debugged firmware in C to control the test board's operation.
Modified National Instruments Windows based PC software, to improve test time and coverage.
Implemented a 50% reduction in test time by profiling and optimising.
Windows based software execution in the existing test system software.
Worked with Cochlear's engineers to integrate these enhancements into the test system, resulting in minimal disruption to their test schedule.
Documented the project as required.
