Responsible for managing all manufacturing operational activities within the shift. This includes manufacturing of all product lines: GaAs, ICs, InP lasers, Si transistors, AlGaAs switches, HMIC diodes and others.

Cambridge, Massachusetts, United States

Managed ISO Class-6 cleanroom for product industrialization of Ultrasound transducers. Responsibilities included creating schedules for new product transducer development builds to align with NPI introduction deadlines, maintenance of cleanroom and process equipment, and managing cleanroom resources to align with NPI cost targets.

Andover, Ma

Managed equipment maintenance requirements for an ultrasound manufacturing facility used for both production and research needs. Facilitated development of the equipment technician team, lean maintenance practices, and new equipment installation to regulatory requirements. Managed and led continuous improvement of GMP relative to maintenance and calibration compliance requirements. Performed project management for supply chain output improvements. Led Andover Ultrasound site closure team which oversaw equipment transfers, document control requirements, and material reconciliation associated with manufacturing and development teams moving to two different locations.

Hudson, Ma

Manage the performance and develop the skills of the engineering and technician teams to support factory needs. Responsibilities include ensuring group maintenance activities for 88 tools comply to OSHA required standards, coach team to proactively analyze quantitative and observed qualitative data for 25 different products, and sustain tool capability to meet output requirements during a simultaneous doubling of factory output and a 33% reduction of team staffing. After factory closure led team that completed over 300 tool decontamination and deinstallations on schedule and under budget.

Hudson, Ma

Responsibilities focused around managing 12-35 equipment maintenance technicians in a high volume manufacturing environment and providing organizational leadership to improve manager capabilities. Leadership responsibilities included hazardous energy control program improvements that contributed to the factory exceeding OSHA standards, front-line problem solving skill advancement, facilitating lean thinking in multiple factory areas, and creation of manager training programs. Management training programs focused on development of interpersonal communication skills, building trust, and team development.

Hudson, Ma

Reduced cycle time by 80%, scrap rates by 95%, and increased tool availability by 15% by co-creating and directing the execution of an area recovery game plan for the factory output limiter.Facilitated a task force that determined root cause and implemented a permanent solution to an integrated defect excursion through utilization of model based problem solving and cross functional teamwork.

Hudson, Ma

Decreased front-end defect levels to best-in-class among four high volume factories by leading a defect analysis and reduction integrated module team of planar, etch, lithography, and film deposition engineers. Saved $250,000 annually by organizing processing requirements of a film deposition thickness decrease for oxide polishing.

Hudson, Ma

Received two corporate-level recognitions for proactively taking a leadership role to determine solutions for a stalled polyimide resist change. Organized resources from five factories to determine required steps to fix roadblocks and lead team to create an implementation roadmap for the process change. Decreased CD variation by 25% and maintenance variability by 50% through implementation of standardized excursion prevention program as chair of a four factory joint engineering team.

Primary responsibilites involved maintenance and operation of lithographic equipment (g-line through 248nm steppers and stand alone tracks) and process development activities(e.g. antireflective coating and phase shift). Additional experience in dry/wet etch operations&maintenance and metrology operation&process development.
