Continuation of work as a Principal Process Integration Engineer following the transition of the site from the Micron-Intel IM Flash joint venture to becoming part of Micron.- Project owner for structural changes to fundamentally improve performance for the 2nd generation 3DxPoint technology.

Lehi, Ut, Us

- Process Integration project owner for the transfer of the later stages of the first generation 3DxPoint technology from the development site to the Lehi site.- Project owner across multiple initiatives to transition sensitive portions of the process flow to an improved environment, resulting in program-enabling improved performance, yield improvement and variation reduction.- Part of a team that developed an industry-unique problem-solving methodology for use at IM Flash. Delivered training for over 30 sessions (original author of 40% of the content), trained many hundreds of team members, developing a strong problem-solving culture. Served as a problem-solving consultant across many high impact projects.- Developed the concept/format for automated reporting of process change data, resulting in major improvements in team member efficiency. Also developed a DOE analysis reporting methodology.- NAND Flash Module Owner for the Contact and Wordline modules. Led many key yield and variation improvement project teams.

- Managed the implementation of QA/QC systems for a startup company.- Personally managed the production qualification for manufacturing sites in the United States and Europe.- Encouraged and implemented data-driven decision-making capabilities (using JMP and other methods). Conducted many designed experiments along with training on performing designed experiments with the engineering group

Orem, Ut, Us

- Led a process control improvement team to accomplish the 150mm to 200mm wafer process conversion.- Hired, trained and directed the activities of the optics process engineering group (6-8 engineers). - Managed the quality of all aspects of a semiconductor-like process. Served as key escalation point for process integration and production issues for a 24/7 manufacturing facility.- SixSigma Black Belt responsible for leading projects, mentoring other SixSigma project leaders and managing the projects of process engineering group members. - Research and Development Project Leader responsible for organizing development experiment runs (DOE) and coordination meetings.
