Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTimothy Fike is a Senior Electronic Technician in Austin with over 12 years (and decades of accumulated) hands-on experience bringing post-silicon SoCs and processors to life, specializing in FMAX evaluation, failure analysis, and correlation with production test programs for PowerPC and ARM cores. He blends deep hardware troubleshooting—fine-pitch soldering, PLL/clock verification, and lab infrastructure management—with software-driven test automation and Linux-based bring-up. Timothy has led electrical validation across PVT corners, supported large distributed engineering teams, and helped reduce test time by co-developing automation tools. An active contributor to open-source, he also writes full-stack fixes and features for well-known projects like NodeBB, demonstrating a rare mix of board-level expertise and application-level coding. Skilled with oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, Perl and shell scripting, he is equally comfortable debugging a failing SOC trace or shipping a user-facing web fix.
