Provided technical and sustaining engineering support in a fast-paced manufacturing area. Recommended and implemented equipment and process modifications to improve production efficiencies, manufacturing techniques and production yields for existing products.Developed and conducted statistical analysis such as Design of Experiments (DOE) and Statistical Process Control (SPC), targeting physical cause of failure for yield loss and quality improvement. Interacted with product design and development personnel to ensure that processes and designs were compatible.Designed experiments to improve fab operations.Executed experiments to improve process efficiency.Worked with operations and maintenance personnel to disposition work in process to maximize yields.Analyzed SPC charts to keep processes and equipment operating at optimal levels.Implemented process solutions through analysis of data using statistically sound methods.Solved basic technological problems in a timely manner such that schedules (production or development) were maintained.Reached consensus among all appropriate groups before implementing process changes. Dispositioned lots in a timely manner using all available sources of information.Carefully documented all lot dispositions by use of decision records or other appropriate documentation.

Characterized new equipment and processes.Troubleshot process/defect/equipment problems.Created and coordinated process improvement projects.Trained incoming process technicians and engineers.Performed stand-in supervisor duties, coordinating fab process flows per priority listings.

Involved in all aspects of an ion implantation tool. Performed maintenance work, to include troubleshooting, repair, and preventative maintenance. Built ion implanters from the ground up. Performed field service on ion implanters throughout the U.S., as well as France and Japan.
