Responsible for launching a new single-use depth filter capsule to the biopharmaceutical market and taking the lead role in all sales related activity associated with it.

• Manage the startup of the new manufacturing line• Introduce a new single use product and manage the project from concept to full volume manufacturing• Apply Lean and Six Sigma methodologies with the goal of reducing cycle times and increasing revenue

• Introduced a new step into the electroplating recipe and reduced defects causing false failures during tool qualifications• Increased throughput and consumable lifespan• Optimized etch recipe to lower variability in the respective inline measurement• Assisted in achieving qualification of two multi-million dollar electroplating tools on an accelerated schedule• Trained three new college graduates to Process Level 2 to fill the roles of the company’s expanding Engineering team• Supported the CMP team as Shift Passdown Leader on a daily basis, aligning the outgoing and incoming shifts on the work in progress and due in the next 24 hours• Created, owned, and improved technical documents and specifications

Worked with the VP of R&D investigating a new slurry mixture by adding binders to the mixture and examining the effects on its physical properties. Additionally I worked on determining the feasibility of making thin plate components with a new formula that was being developed. I also spent time working with the Quality Assurance manager to test the variability in mixture rheology and analyzing its effect on material properties. I created a database with my findings by which Blasch could improve the tracking of its process and make observations.

Studied how protein adsorption can be optimized on nanoporous material through investigation of the material's physical properties.
