Joined as an Adaptive Fly Height control engineer and was a cross-functional team member successful in achieving product yield, time-to-market, and quality goals. Later took on the responsibility as the lead AFH control engineer and held weekly meetings to drive actions which led to commonality in the manufacturing test process, parametric analysis, design, and characterization.• Qualification and integration of heads and media• Invented and integrated AFH control algorithms• Performance analysis of supplier designs• Reliability and manufacturing failure corrective actions• Test creation for design verification

Joined as a manufacturing failure analysis engineer and was successful at improving the manufacturing process by increasing yields and enhancing the test process to capture reliability failures. Later took on the responsibility as a lead FA engineer and led a cross-site team responsible for improving yields and quality.• Manufacturing process yield and quality improvement• Root cause analysis• Design improvement• Documented work in a database• Data driven decisions

Joined as an ASIC design engineer and was successful at verifying the ASIC's USB interface by fixing the USB simulation model. Later I developed a processor model which was used to verify the ASIC's processor interface.• Design verification• Simulation modelling in verilog/VHDL
