Program Manager for product development programs.• Directed programs to develop customized capital equipment for various industries including semiconductor wafer processing, laser cutting and metal 3D printing.• Managed engineering and manufacturing teams, assigning tasks, and reviewing progress with a focus on on-time delivery of all products.

San Francisco Bay Area

*Led program with overseas suppliers to successfully develop specialized Silicon Carbide commodity with very challenging technical and cost requirements. *Guided team to help suppliers develop new cost effective refurbished legacy product solutions (including gas-box and ESC’s) for Lam’s customers.*Skillfully took over program to develop major new deposition product, tracking manufacturing, first-in-fab beta results and driving high volume manufacturing qualification.*Performed traditional program management activities such as planning, building and maintaining project schedules, develop budgets and track and report progress to management through weekly reports and monthly program reviews. Typically managed between 3 and 5 projects simultaneously.*Heavy emphasis on product co-development with a diverse group of suppliers (US, Korea, Japan, China). Utilized engineering support groups in India.*Directed project teams by focusing on project deliverables and encouraging team members to be accountable for work.

Provided Project Engineering support for various development projects with budget responsibilities of between $50K and $2M.*Developed and maintained schedule and budget, coordinated resources, tracked costs and reported progress to management. Was commended by management on my ability to keep projects on schedule and within budget even when faced with technical challenges.*Led project team by assigning daily tasks and developing teamwork within the group.*Established myself as the go-to subject matter expert on earned value management (EVM).*Successfully managed up to five on-going projects (internal and OEM) simultaneously.

Provided Mechanical Design and Project Engineering support with design, scope, schedule, and budget responsibilities of between $1M - $2M per year. *Successfully led a team of mechanical and electrical engineers, physicists, computer scientists, control system engineers, and designers to develop several large electromechanical systems. Design efforts resulted in highly reliable systems which produced several outstanding contribution awards for the team.*Successfully designed, procured, fabricated, and commissioned the 46cm Amplifier Beampath Bypass System, enabling the program to increase facility usage and save hundreds of hours per month in labor.*Expertly performed typical project engineering tasks such as developing schedules, work breakdown structures (WBS), and budget estimates. *Successfully led mechanical engineering design efforts by gathering design requirements, originating and implementing design ideas, performing engineering analysis, and testing/prototyping designs when necessary. *Directed a team of four technicians over four months in the assembly, test, installation, and fielding of a large electromechanical system. Fielded system was on-line ahead of schedule with few operational problems.*Participated and led formal reviews, including design reviews, management pre-start reviews, procurement reviews, and work authorization reviews.*Generated engineering documentation including Engineering Safety Notes, and assembly, testing, installation and maintenance procedures. *Effectively used engineering tools such as SolidWorks computer aided design (CAD) and COSMOSWorks finite element analysis (FEA) software in order to understand and validate structural dynamics, stresses, vibration and thermal characteristics, and design principles. *Hardware and high vacuum system design, fabrication, and assembly required close coordination with electrical and mechanical designers, coordinators, on-site machinists, technicians, and vendors.
