Tactical Operations Manager for CMP, Plating & Cemical Operations teams.

RTP / Insulators process engineer with the manufacturing engineering team.

Project manager for RTP tool installations.

* Reduced process losses from approximately 400 wafer/year down to < 25 wafers / year while serving as Lead Engineer for the Rapid Thermal Processes toolset.* Increased capacity of the Rapid Thermal Processes toolset by approximately 25% through the use of Lean manufacturing techniques, toolset went from a line gate to a process with excess capacity.* Saved approximately $750K / year through the completion of two projects using the Six Sigma Greenbelt methodology.* Mentor current engineers trained in Six Sigma Greenbelt methodology and developed training program for future enigineers

* Reduced spare parts spending from approximately $250,000 / year to $180,000 / year for the Rapid Thermal Processes toolset through second sourcing spare parts and developing best known methods for cleaning and conditioning spare parts. * Coordinated 2 new tool installations and 7 tool decommissions* Maintained spare parts budgets up to $250,000* Improved tool availability from 82% to 88% by implementing a new preventative maintenance plan for the Rapid Thermal Processes toolset

* Designed and installed a Chemical Mechanical Polishing (CMP) tool for pilot line production.* Developed copper electro-plating process including selection of underlying insulator material based on water absorption properties.
