San Francisco, California, Us

Led reliability qualifications at system- and module-level of S-300 e-bike (class 1 and 2) and next generation S100-T custom scooter. Modules included: display, IOT module, battery, motor controller, lighting and turn signals, throttle, self-driving module, cables, and chassis.

San Jose, California, Us

* Led Reliability qualifications on all CIC (completely-in-canal) hearing aid systems, including Eargo Neo, Neo HiFi, and Eargo 5. Products qualified include hearing aid, USB charging cables, chargers, and accessories. * Built up in-house Reliability Lab: designed and built test fixtures, developed new tests for specific use cases, expanded in-house testing capabilities. * Created Design History Files and all formal documentation (test protocols, verification testing) for FDA audits. * Managed Regulatory Compliance, Safety, and Packaging/Transit testing on all products for all global markets. * Led Failure Analysis activities on critical field failures.

Santa Clara, California, Us

• Reliability Testing: managed qualification on all wearable devices (smartwatches, smart eyewear, fitness trackers, proof of concepts) and accessories. Defined Reliability Test Plans, developed test specs for new components/features and new device types, designed/built test fixtures. Coordinated/managed testing at ODM’s, suppliers, 3rd party test labs, and in-house labs.• Product Quality: managed product quality on all wearable devices. Tracked and improved yield, setup quality inspection (at factory and at suppliers), factory quality, conducted line audits.• Advised end customers (Oakley, TAG Heuer, Fossil, New Balance) on appropriate test specs and test criteria.

Espoo, Southern Finland, Fi

• Managed hardware testing on all IoT projects and product concepts.• Responsibilities include: bring up, testing, troubleshooting HW/SW failures, and flashing FW. Used JIRA to track failures/issues and managed test documentation to Wiki pages.

* Managed Reliability qualification on all ereader and tablet products (Nook Color, Tablet, SimpleTouch, Glowlight, HD, HD+) and accessories. Defined Hardware Test Plans, developed test specs for new components/features, designed/built test fixtures. Coordinated/managed testing at ODM’s, suppliers, 3rd party test labs, and in-house labs. Designed in-house Reliability Lab and coordinated bring-up of 6 other labs on the new campus. * Package/Transportation Testing: took on additional responsibility of managing the package testing. Ensured all packaging (retail box, master carton, pallet, etc) met test requirements. * Certification/Compliance Testing: oversaw the regulatory and environmental compliance testing for all products for all countries. Also took initiative on defining goals for Corporate Social Responsibility (manufacturing for environment, product efficiency, transportation, recycling).

Santa Clara, California, Us

* Reliability Test Lead on several smartphone programs, including Treo, Foleo, Pre/Pre Plus/Pre3, Pixi, and Veer. Defined Hardware Test Plans, developed test specs for new components and features, designed and built test fixtures. Coordinated and managed testing at ODM’s, suppliers, 3rd party test labs, and in-house labs. * Integrated statistical analysis and reliability prediction into testing new components and features. * Analyzed field returns/issues and ensured findings were looped back into current programs.* Initiated and kicked off FMEA process and successfully integrated into Product Development Cycle.

Milpitas, Us

* Defined preliminary 8-step reliability program for company: tied reliability goals and key reliability milestones into product design cycle, initiated IRONMAN testing, and component-level reliability testing.* Setup infrastructure to track and resolve quality issues in field.

Milpitas, California, Us

* Implemented reliability program for Atomic Force Microscopy system: defined goals for design phases, led FMECA efforts, implemented methodology to collect/analyze reliability metrics, setup marathons to prove system performance, and resolved failures. Significantly improved product reliability within 1 year. * Increased measuring probe tip yield to 99% and tip life to 10x by implementing a protective shield on tipcassette and identifying ideal tip profile dimensions and manufacturing process parameters.* Identified and minimized hot spots within system by implementing cooler-running components and improving system airflow. Resulted in significant stabilization in system measurement performance.

Santa Clara, Ca, Us

* Released 11 different Copper/PVD Interconnect systems: defined reliability goals through FMECA, process marathons, IRONMAN testing, sub-system testing, and Ongoing Reliability Testing (ORT). * Owned Reliability Lab: refocused efforts on component-level testing and early system-level testing.* Chaired and coordinated weekly executive Quality Meeting for division. Using Tashiro 1-page summary format, successfully closed 80% of quality issues in first year of operation. * Managed FRACAS database and surpassed closure rate goal of 65% each quarter for 3 straight years.

Fremont, Ca, Us

* Released 10 disc drive motor (ball and hydrodynamic fluid bearing) programs: defined reliability goals, coordinated reliability tests, accelerated temperature life tests, and ORT programs. * Conducted 6 factorial DOE to determine optimal design configuration for Seagate’s first hydrodynamic fluid bearing motor.* Used reliability prediction software (Reliasoft, Weibull ++) to predict the reliability of new components. Predictions were validated through component-level testing.* ISO Lead Auditor: ensured compliance to ISO 9000 and Motorola QSR (Quality System Review) standards. Successfully maintained compliance at each external 3rd party audit.

Fremont, California, Us

* Led a team of 5 technicians in assembly, startup, and final test of Varian 3000 series inline thin film sputtering systems and iNOVA cluster system. Managed day-to-day responsibilities to meet schedule. * Revised and streamlined manuals and documentation for assembly, startup, and final test, resulting in improved manufacturing efficiency and reduced installation/startup time at customer sites.* Conducted customer demos on new systems, and traveled to customer sites for installation and start-up.
