As a seasoned Senior Mechanical Engineer, I bring a wealth of experience in project management and leading the development of advanced engineering solutions, with a particular focus on R&D, design for manufacturing and assembly (DFM/DFA). My career has been defined by a passion for innovation, reflected in my successful leadership of cross-functional teams, named inventor on several patents, and consistently delivering high-value equipment for the high-tech industry.At Axus Technology, I’ve led the design and development of complex CMP wafer cleaning equipment, integrating advanced systems and driving projects from concept to successful installation. My work has not only resulted in the creation of cutting-edge tools but also in the transformation of our engineering processes. Spearheading the process creation for documenting Engineering Changes ensuring efficiency and adherence to ISO 9000 standards. I’m particularly proud of my contributions to wafer carrier processing technology, where my innovations have been recognized as inventor on several patents.Before Axus, I founded and led Manfred Design Inc., where I managed full-cycle project development in custom metal design, engineering, and fabrication. My ability to navigate the company through the 2008 financial crisis and achieve significant market growth over 15 years speaks to my strategic management skills and resilience.I’m proficient in SolidWorks, SolidWorks PDM, AutoCAD LT, and FEA hand calculations and simulations, and I have a proven track record in mentoring engineering talent, fostering a culture of continuous improvement, and leading teams to exceed expectations. I’m excited to connect with professionals and companies where I can contribute to innovative engineering projects and drive technological advancements.
