I was responsible for supporting final product critical instrumentation such as Photoluminesence (PL),Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy(FTIR), Ion Chromatography (IC), through maintenance and troubleshooting. I developed and improved testing capabilities by reducing operator varability and reducing the impurity detection limit by ~50%. Devoloped and implemented new testing techniques for silane plant start-up and monitoring silicon plant process. Certified to work in a class 10 cleanroom, hydroflouric and nitric acid environmnets. Monitored and interpreted SPC charts for trends used in troubleshooting. Created and presented process changes to Process Change Management and received approval for more robust testing techniques of products

I supported R&D Chemist's projects in Liquid Silocone Rubbers (LSRs) and automobile air bag coating. Conducted Black Belt formulation projects. Responsible for routine mixing of LSRs, coating air bags with LSRs and testing. Researched and conducted multiple tests on developmental and customer specific materials by accurate and precise measurements and methods. Operate and maintain injection molding machines. Preformed formulation work on lab scale equipment. Preformed development work on non-existing experimental products used in the market place.
