• Developed skills in continuous improvement processes, troubleshooting equipment failures, and performing root cause analysis for calibrations & performance checks on Denton 18 Sputter, Ebeam Evaporator, & Oxford Etchers.• Utilized lean methodologies such as 5S to maintain a clean and organized lab environment by conducting regularinspections of the facility: Ensured optimal operational efficiency. Documented any anomalies, including elevated noise levels, and performed weekly inventory checks of materials to identify areas for process improvement.• Operated specialized equipment: Performed sputter depositions, Ebeam target melts, PECVD processes, and operated glass bead blasting equipment for sputtering, evaporator, plasma etching, and ALD systems.

Collaborated & led communication with Project, Manufacturing and Design Engineers to carry out design improvements including print updates, new model releases, refrigerant comparisons. All affecting 60+ products.-Led calorimeter, hydrostatic, max-load testing, & oil bath tests with Lab Technicians on compressors/components & analyzed results in Excel. Trained technicians about sonic leak-tester to discover high-pressures discharge leaks-Integral in optimizing 5+ manufacturing plants to facilitate process improvement & assisting in a multi-million dollar production line transfer to another plant manufacturing 50+ compressor models to reduce overhead costs-Conducted compressor coefficient analysis for customers by revising an Excel coefficient calculator to compare calculated performance vs tested performance for new refrigerants with low GWP for expected performance.
