• Provided ongoing executive level analysis on production and performance data of SLIVER solar cells.• Created and invented tools to help monitor and track wafer progress through the manufacturing line to quickly solve process problems arising in the production.• Designed and performed experiments to optimize processes as well as maximize power output and solar cell harvest yield and improve process stability.• Accelerated development on a company micro-machining inspection tool.• Developed code for data analysis and comparison using JMP, SQL, and PERL scripting which resulted in increased employee productivity.

• Managed projects as lead engineer for building test programs on individual semiconductor DRAM devices by drafting development schedules, and determining the best test methodology to use on each device. • Lead other engineers in their portions of the major projects• Designed and qualified tests to find and repair failures in the product resulting in yield improvements and assembly/test cost savings.• Planned test time reductions to improve product time to market, by engineering faster tests and by designing larger probe cards, resulting in more complex products reaching the market in no additional time. • Executed experiments to find ways to test the devices faster and with more reliability resulting in cost savings in equipment purchases as well as help discover and debug process related issues.• Forecasted new product needs using cross department collaboration with product engineers and the design team for design for test applications on future devices resulting in quicker turnaround on major projects.• Initiated several documentation standards currently used such as documenting each device’s test program setup to help align and simplify the complex nature of DRAM test setups.• Instructed and mentored new engineers to department by helping redesigning the department’s training system.

• Designed and implemented thee digital design projects, with one resulting in a patent submission.• Delivered an FPGA program for print engine/scanner emulator for printer firmware testing.• Trained self in programmable logic design, including the use of software tools, and state machine design.• Gained skills in hardware description languages, and Xilinx ISE Foundation/Model SIM simulation software tools.
