• Managed day to day production line sustaining and yield management.• Assembly production line transfer within sites• Continuous improvements through process change and material qualification

Morgan Hill, California, United States

Managed day to day production line sustaining at DA, WB, CSAM, Seal and T&R. Implemented new process flow and procedures.• Process yield improvement through DOE and statistical data analysis.• Maintained zero customer return by continuously improving critical manufacturing KPIs (yield & quality).• Qualified new products through collaboration with 10-person cross-functional teams (R&D, QA and NPI).• Cost reduction through process flow change without compromising quality.

• Maintained assembly yield target at Molding and Pre-assembly processes through day to day data mining and Pareto analysis.• Met Quality Indices (QRR, IRR, MRB, SPC) targets and sustained zero customer returns.• Qualified and released NPI (New Product Introduction) into mass production.• Resolved and closed major assembly quality issues using 8D and DMAIC approach.• Reduced direct material cost through qualification of alternative low cost material.

Oversaw Molding, Laser mark and Trim & Form process in the package development of automotive power packages.• Promoted to Senior Engineer II (2008)• Promoted to Senior Engineer I (2006)• Qualified NPI products to different assembly sites through cross-functional team collaboration.• Qualified new mold and trim & form tooling used in the release of NPI products.• Characterized molding process through DOE analysis.• Resolved due to wire sweep manufacturability issue by redesigning lead-frame layout.
