Provided technical direction while collaborating with product development resources to produce the first of its kind integrated component using a fully integrated magnetic MEMS device on top of CMOS architecture. Team encompassed members from many groups within Intel and subcontractors globally. Actively worked with senior Intel leadership to obtain the necessary resources and market the product within Intel. Hit the two-year program timeline from development to manufacturing ready. Managed a $22.8M development budget for tools and materials over the two years. Show less

Managed team of senior engineers chartered with understanding all aspects of process, provided leadership to organization and three other sites for process changes and excursions. Modified Intel change control to allow for rapid changes required for implementation of Lean Manufacturing that facilitated Intel record-breaking WIP cycle times and a near 50% reduction in cash cost. Products made used widely in the emerging mobile market, automotive, and health and medical devices.Selected by… Show more Managed team of senior engineers chartered with understanding all aspects of process, provided leadership to organization and three other sites for process changes and excursions. Modified Intel change control to allow for rapid changes required for implementation of Lean Manufacturing that facilitated Intel record-breaking WIP cycle times and a near 50% reduction in cash cost. Products made used widely in the emerging mobile market, automotive, and health and medical devices.Selected by senior Intel management to investigate and correct a supply issue from a critical supplier that resulted in limiting shipments of Intel’s leading platform. Identified the cause of the quality issue within a day of arriving on site using JMP multivariate regression and implemented process change to recover from zero yields. Collaborated with supplier to understand the manufacturing issues. Provided Intel resources and methodologies to kick start their manufacturing line so as to provide Intel with the required product. Helped to drive the use of a microcontroller into the Automotive industry for a high-end infotainment system. Provided quality metrics, reliability use conditions and overview of the change control systems. Customer used the product without additional reliability testing based on the data provided.

Oversaw quality aspects of a sub-class 1 120k-square-foot cleanroom. Relentlessly sought to identify defect mechanisms from the wafer processing and the cleanroom to drive down the levels to improve product yield and reliability. Managed clean construction activities within cleanroom during three large manufacturing ramps with zero impact to product including adding 60k-square-feet of cleanroom while the existing cleanroom was in full production.Part of leadership team to plan and execute… Show more Oversaw quality aspects of a sub-class 1 120k-square-foot cleanroom.

Managed clean construction activities within cleanroom during three large manufacturing ramps with zero impact to product including adding 60k-square-feet of cleanroom while the existing cleanroom was in full production.Part of leadership team to plan and execute three generations of Intel processes. Ensured that the process was introduced using a ‘copy exactly’ philosophy. When not able to follow this philosophy, worked with all impacted parties to develop a solution and to prove its capability. In all three cases the timeline for process qualification was met and the initial product exceeded yield expectations. Show less
