9/2010 – 8/2011

Creation, management and supervision of the ADD product development group (10-13 people), which is responsible of the development of evaluation boards, customized prototypes, and reference board designs (Hw), as well as of the basic embedded software (drivers, OS, communication protocols sw stacks) and sw PC tools needed to design and develop Power Line Communications applications based upon ADD system on chips (PRIME Smart metering, domotic, smart photovoltaic).
This includes: Creation and implementation of development plans for ADD systems containing hw&sw modules; management, supervision, and work review of the projects developed by the product development group according to a predefined schedule and quality level; deployment of design development processes oriented to maximize quality and minimize risks; direction of system definition and development (hw&sw) oriented to create modular and standard hw and sw
modules,which can be easily reusable and integrable in more complex systems; automatization of team and work supervision through development and deployment of automatic tools (plugs for SVN or parsers of MS project, which remind task responsibles via email); performance evaluation, mentoring and career plan development for team members; ensurement that technical budget is adhered to and that other technical resources are well utilized for maximum efficiency.
Results: Boost of engineering production for hw modules, PC tools, and ADD proprietary embedded sw (like PRIME and ECSS communication sw stacks), and integration of ADD firmware in a Lynux embedded system.
