Aurora, Il

Integration Senior Metrology Technician (2004-2007)Supported the Metrology and Polishing processes. Assisted Engineers and Scientists in product development by completing metrology, polishing and analytical testing. Calibrated equipment. Used analytical equipment like the CPS, Horiba, and Malvern, for slurry development testing. • Recognized by Candela as “Expert of their platform” enabling Singapore based Division to purchase a similar tool for their internal use. • Implemented polishing/metrology from a full scale to a table top version from Research and Development to Quality Control testing. • Installed Candela CS10 for the table top lab. Developed recipes and prepared a process looking for scratches on the CS10 which entailed a savings of over $230k per year.• While completing basic preventative maintenance on tools, including cleaning of the equipment and inspecting for worn out parts, detected repairable problems that led to significant company savings of service calls.• Presentation of flatness audits to Motorola. Presented at Diskcon 2006 a paper for developing a process on the Candela C10 to measure disks.Data Storage Sr. Metrology Technician (2002-2004)• Supported the Metrology and Polishing processes.
