Responsibilities included designing, testing and improving the company's line of magnetron sputtering cathodes. Developed modifications to improve the efficiency of the cathodes while reducing costs. Assembled the products and tested these improvements before implementing them into production. Co-created the latest generation cylindrical magnetron cathode, taking it from concept to production. Modeled the cathode, performed part selection as necessary, made the production prints and BOM, then oversaw and aided the production of the final product. Assisted the design and production of a linear cathode with a remotely adjustable magnetic field, thus greatly improving the customer's system up-time and reducing their costs. Performed the initial cathode install, setup and product training at the customer's site. Designed multiple custom magnetrons for customers. Assembled and operated in-house test setups that included cathodes, drive motors and controllers, vacuum pumps, and pressure sensors.-Proficient at creating 3D models, production prints and BOM (using ERP software).-Performed part selection on designs.-Experience integrating electro-mechanical, pneumatic and sealing components into designs.-General understanding of GD&T.-Wrote installation and service manuals for various products.-Created a spreadsheet which allowed the sales team to independently generate cylindrical cathode quotes.-Experience reprioritizing job duties as needed.-Interfaced with the sales team and customers.-Participated in meetings for design review, project progress and resolving design issues.-Interfaced with the in-house machine shop and assembly team.-Experience with manufacturing processes such as machining, welding and sheet metal fabrication.-Performed multiple product installations at customer sites.-Designed and helped build multiple in-house testing systems.-Performed in-house testing of new products.-Worked on projects from the concept phase through production.
