▸ Develops and maintains the probe test equipment (handling thousands of wafers) for the global site, developing new probe systems to effectively increase test speeds and decrease lost product at back-end test. ▸ Works with advanced thermal simulations and CAD design for new test hardware. Provides design assistance on CAD programs, designing install tools, calibration fixtures, thermal management systems, etc. ▸ Responsible as one of the only CAD experts in assisting colleagues or team members with their projects.▸ Utilizes advanced thermal modeling to simulate different conditions during test to determine expansion and contraction amounts when using multiple different materials.▸ Manages the design and development of high-speed probe card.▸ Leads a multi-site team to identify and enable best known methods.▸ Facilitates meetings with suppliers and Micron team members to solve issues on current systems.▸ Spearheads new project development meetings with up to four suppliers and 10-15 Micron team members.Achievements ▸ Presented work on designing new thermal heat dissipative systems for advanced cooling techniques on the global "brown bag" series to 130+ team members from around the globe.

▸ Managed, designed, and validated development of new test hardware to ensure product timelines were on track with zero to minimal back-end test issues.▸ Collaborated and built relationships up to four vendors to drive future products and assist in optimal product timeline operations. ▸ Coordinated the evaluation of the latest test hardware on new systems.▸ Developed and documented new test methodologies: helped create the test procedure for testing interface sockets for comparison data between different suppliers and created a test fixture for ensuring proper calibration between test systems and wrote the procedure to be used globally.▸ Utilized thermal simulation software to evaluate areas for improvement with test systems.Achievements ▸ Acted as design lead for special projects: designed and built a new thermal test chamber that interfaced with the bench top engineering tester with a requirement that it had to test at -40c and 120c temps.▸ Responsible for designing and building a test calibration system to be rolled out to the global test sites to ensure all test equipment was calibrated the exact same way.▸ Performed basic code to automate a weekly update necessary for a colleague, saving 4+ hours a week and reduced time required to less than fifteen minutes. ▸ Promoted from E2 to E3 after successful rollout of thermal test chamber: achieving zero operational issues.

▸ Worked directly with customers to design custom solutions from inception to completion; owned the design and proactively dealt with all challenges throughout the project lifespan. ▸ Supported global team consisting of 300+ staff responsible for innovative automotive initiatives and solutions, generating an annual revenue of ~$100M.▸ Communicated and collaborated with engineers from all main automotive manufacturers (i.e., GM, Ford, Fiat/Chrysler) to inspect the products, deliver prototypes, and foster connections to effectively build business. ▸ Specialized in R&D and worked to drive forward new and innovative designs (i.e., incorporating biomimicry, working product prototypes).Achievements ▸ Earned responsibilities as the group Patent Coordinator, performing monthly reviews of all patents with corporate legal, optimizing financial decisions by utilizing sound judgement. ▸ Recognized and acted as “Float Engineer”, successfully building clientele.▸ Chosen and acted as “Sales Engineer”, chosen as the face of the engineering department for all customers.

▸ Responsible for design, validation, and project management of injection molded components, communicating and collaborating with four engineers and up to three production managers with a total of 50+ team members. ▸ Managed assembly, automation repairs, and automated assembly robots. Provided test support as needed for current products (i.e., dampers for sunglass trays, gloveboxes).▸ Updated sales and marketing information to support global sales team.

▸ Designed components to improve current systems for a company of 2,000+ employees, collaborating with other engineers and assembly line workers. ▸ Assembled bill of materials for manufacturing and ensured requested custom truck builds had no issues.▸ Created mechanical drawings for production using Pro E. Anytime a customer requested a specific configuration that we had not done before, we created new assembly drawings for the production floor to follow while assembling the trucks. Sometimes this required designing new versions of the requested features (toolboxes, water jug holders, power washer hose reel).

▸ Interned for M2M Communications for the summer of 2010. Installed firmware to wireless communication systems located at remote locations throughout the southwestern region of Idaho.

▸ Worked as a student researcher studying the effects of catalyst material had on the electrolysis process (project was funded by the Pence-Boyce Research Foundation).
