Lead the complete cycle of process development for conceptually new products from initial feasibility study through introduction to production. The development involved creating of advanced photonics alignment algorithms, search for adhesives satisfying requirements of a specific client and industry, developing laser welding schedules.Collaborated directly with clients in design for automation of new and existing products for optoelectronics, photonic, consumer electronics, military applications.Developed applications for high precision multi-axes motion control systems using AEi’s proprietary vision guided machine control software environment. Multiple machines in consumer electronics and optoelectronic industries are used in 24/7 production. Created applications involving low level programming for Galil Motion Controller. The created programs executed complex multi-axes motion profiles and I/O control.Installed equipment at customers’ sites and provided training to the engineering personal. Extensive travel to South East Asia.

Engineering and technical support for manufacturing processes of laser welding and fiber pigtailing in production of pump and DFB lasers.Performed analysis of process designs and execution with the intent of optimizing them by means of Design of Experiments and Data Analysis. Reduced process time and increased yields by investigating and implementing new manufacturing processes. The improvements that I had suggested led to cycle time reduction of up to 10 % on two labor-intensive process steps.Project Leader on upgrading outdated manufacturing platform to state of the art equipment. The successful completion of the project led to release to manufacturing of extremely dependable, robust and competitive working stations. Performed daily SPC of laser welding processes. Conducted GRR studies with the aid of statistical tools.

Cambridge, Mass
