Orem, Utah

In collaboration with the research and development, assemblies, and post fabrication teams, I've been able to address the custom needs and concerns of customers as well as improve the specifications of our current optical products through the utilization of creativity and teamwork. Some of my achievements at Moxtek are:• Assembled optical components to be used on the International Space Station and measured their transmitted wavefront errors to be less than one wave using a Fizeau interferometer• Expanded the product database and specifications by taking on the role of lead engineer for a new metrology instrument and provided training sessions for other employees• Designed new apparatus and technique to produce small parts previously believed impossible thus gaining access to new markets and clientele• Published and presented over a dozen internal technical reports to update fellow employees on improved procedures as well as project findings and evaluations• Increased throughput of laser engraver 300% by redesigning the mounting plates and marking programs to engrave on Moxtek optical mounts• Designed and executed several reliability experiments such as wafer TWE (Transmitted Wavefront Error) uniformity and Moxtek mount induced distortion
