Frank Gerber

Designed, developed, constructed, and integrated hardware/software test procedures and systems for various clients. This involved comprehensive system engineering and implementation.

Developed test plans, fixtures, and software for power protection controls, ensuring robust system performance. Designed test fixtures using schematic capture and PCB layout tools. Utilized TestStand, LabVIEW, and LabWindows CVI to develop software libraries and scripts for automated testing.

Designed and programmed test equipment for military power systems and perimeter sensor systems. Successfully reduced automated production unit test time by 50%. Developed hardware and software for low noise, high-efficiency MIL-STD-810 airborne power modules.

Designed Automated Test Equipment (ATE) for Acceptance Test Performance with ESS stations. Updated legacy test equipment for F18 and F22 aviation electronics tests. Led multi-site test projects, resulting in reduced project costs and downtime.

Designed test systems for medical equipment sub-assemblies at Baxter Medical. Developed touch screen-based test systems at Sypris Electronics, which reduced errors and costs. Converted legacy C++ applications to reusable DLLs for test software applications.

Expanded the in-house LabWindows-based test executive, leading to significant cost reductions. Researched and implemented off-the-shelf test scripting applications to enhance testing efficiency.

Ported code from Intel-based PC applications to ARM-based embedded hardware platforms. Developed software for barcode module add-ons specifically for the Palm OS PDA platform.

Developed embedded validation test software for mobile point-of-sale devices. Created and patented a barcode simulator, which significantly reduced operational costs.

Completed a Bachelor of Science degree focusing on Computer Science. The curriculum covered fundamental principles and advanced topics in the field.
