Technical Experience: Cleans/ Wet Etch• Generated and executed process and equipment improvement plans—managing schedules, objectives, resources, and risks for qualification—for large-scale semiconductor manufacturing processes.• Led equipment team during installation, validation, and qualification of five equipment platforms across three major equipment suppliers, evaluating chemical, mechanical, and electrical risks for startup and operation.• Improved process/ equipment reliability and stability through continuous review and revision of preventative and predictive equipment maintenance programs, focusing on safety, time to complete, and first-time-right.• Led advanced troubleshooting and structured problem solving efforts for respective process equipment platforms during extended OOC events, driving SPS efforts to resolution using 8D and 5-Why methodologies.• Developed hazard control strategies for maintenance completed on pressurized chemical storage and delivery systems. Consideration was also given to confined space, pinch and crush hazards during the development of control strategies.• Led LEAN manufacturing initiative on critical, high-risk maintenance activities, increasing first-time-right success, and reducing length of maintenance by 20%.• Developed cost estimates, justification, and ROI for capital projects in excess of $3 million; drove projects to completion, from RFQ to implementation and evaluation.• Designed and implemented cost savings projects in excess of $2 million annually for high-throughput process equipment.• Managed SPC and FDC setup and monitoring to drive equipment and process optimization, defect reduction, manufacturing throughput, and other CIP programs.• Employed FMEA methodologies to continuously manage and improve process and equipment risk, working to pareto failures by risk value and implement solutions in descending order.
