• Worked on-site at a customer fab to ensure engineering based decisions were focused on my company’s wishes, not the finance based wishes of the fab. Mended and improved a previously broken Fab-Customer relationship by nurturing a feeling of mutual success between the companies. Fab (external company) references available upon request • Responsible for the success and improvement of MEMS products from R&D to volume Productiono A wide range of experience ranging from design of R&D devices using layout tools to designing final inspection documentation and continuous yield enhancement experiments solving highly complex technical problems• Collaborative experience with time zone and people management across the globe to get the most out of the resources available, both in relation to people and equipment located in other parts of the world • Successfully transitioned a product from a low volume R&D device with ~60% yield to a production device with >90% yield through defect identification, root cause analysis, experiment design, and qualification of new processes. o Worked with teams in Sydney, Taiwan, and Singapore to ensure product met all requirements for customer approval. A strong understanding of risk mitigation was used to ensure questionable quality never left the fab• Formed strong relationships with internal and external customers ranging from consumable supplier relationships to internal executive management who relied on me for key decisions on company-wide pathways forward

• Head Etch New Product Integration team member requiring set up of APC and analysis of SPC charts to flow prototype material for rapid fab output to customers including setting up processes for Automotive customers• Layer owner responsible for lot and wafer disposition for questionable materialo Analyze metrology and defect data to assist engineers and technicians in proper workflow to minimize future issues and identify and bring down trouble tools• Designing, running and analyzing experiments for process improvements with presentation of results to management• Advanced experience in Excel, VBA, SQL, and Spotfire for big data analysis to identify areas of yield improvement and

• Responsible for production and R&D of MEMS pressure sensors, strain gages, and accelerometers from beginning design to commercial production, including improvement and sustaining of mature products and processes• Experience managing projects and performing risk analysis for major processing steps to identify the processing locations to hit cost and deadline requirements of customers, including work with outside fabs and contractors/employees overseas• Extensive hands-on cleanroom experience, utilizing many tools for wafer fab development• Experience with process design and yield improvement projects using on site equipment and off-site fab centers• Use of metrology tools to characterize, understand and make decisions about wafers and devices • Analysis of parametric wafer test data to diagnose problems: single die failures, and long term sustainability improvement• Writing of Failure Modes and Effects Analysis for yield improvement and failure learningLeft due to relocation with spouse

Developed and performed experiments in a pure R&D environment. Worked on many projects in a wide range of developmental phases, including anywhere from beginning material developed to initial sales product run.

• Used hands on techniques to produce prototype MEMS and photonics devices such as sensors and optical modulators • Improved yield including a novel redesign of handling and transportation for a specific device that improve final yield from 20% to over 80%. Successfully produced all required paperwork and transferred process to technicians prior to departure. • Creation of process flows from start to finish for novel MEMS and photonics devices• Design, experimentation, and improvement of new and mature processes using semiconductor equipment in an R&D environment • Experience using CAD for design and manufacturing of custom parts

Process and Development engineer. I would receive a design from the other engineers and my job was to design and execute a process to turn the idea on paper into reality. This included all process design, hands-on cleanroom work, process improvement, paperwork, and even work and powerpoint reporting.
