Experience

Test Software Development Engineer [CyberTAN - Foxconn Technology] [Bac Ninh, Vietnam] [08/2024–Present]

  • Validated firmware for new product releases, designing test plans and sample programs for NPI execution.
  • Built automated test systems for manufacturing (RF, functional, network), helping minimize manual testing overhead.
  • Developed real-time production yield monitoring tools to improve data management and first-pass yield (FPY) visibility.
  • Automated MAC address provisioning across production lines, significantly reducing manual entry errors.

Application Software Manager [ITC Technology JSC] [Bac Ninh, Vietnam] [08/2019 – 08/2024]

  • Mentored and trained new team members.
  • Performed migration of the company website to a Rust-based platform, optimizing load speed and maintainability.
  • Developed and optimized firmware for industrial controllers and HVAC systems, improving operational stability and system efficiency.
  • Designed and deployed internal software tools to digitize and optimize cross-departmental workflows.
  • Contributed to firmware and software development for fire alarm systems and integrated Building Management Systems (BMS).
  • Built custom automation pipelines (Python, PowerShell) to enhance process accuracy and traceability.

Key Projects

Automated NPI Test Platform — CyberTAN, Foxconn Consolidated multiple fragmented test softwares for various product lines into a single, unified software solution. The system automatically categorizes and transmits detailed test logs—organized by test session and Serial Number (SN)—to a centralized server, streamlining data management and ensuring full traceability during the NPI process.

Production Yield Monitoring System — CyberTAN, Foxconn Architected a real-time yield monitoring dashboard that aggregated live test data from multiple production lines. This provided instant visibility into first-pass yield (FPY) trends, enabling engineers to make data-driven decisions on rework processes and quality control adjustments.

Test Room Monitoring & Reporting System — ITC Technology JSC Architected and developed a premium full-stack monitoring system for industrial test rooms using Rust (Dioxus). Integrated real-time data collection from Carel c.pCO controllers via asynchronous background tasks (Tokio), persisting high-frequency sensor data in PostgreSQL. Built an automated PDF reporting engine and a sophisticated web dashboard, significantly improving data accuracy and reporting efficiency for climate control testing.

Education

B.Eng. in Electronics and Telecommunications [School of Electronics and Telecommunications (SET), Hanoi University of Science and Technology (HUST)] [Hanoi, Vietnam] [08/2015 – 08/2020]

Interests

  • Participating in team-based computer games
