 Designed and implemented object oriented software using Visual Studio C#/.NET to control high-speed motion control hardware meeting strict requirements for reliability and reducing risk of product loss. Implemented factory host automation software for semiconductor equipment standards (SEMI) on flagship wet clean product. Led integration with customer on-site to meet aggressive product acceptance schedules. Created graphical user interface (GUI) for presentation of material flowing through multi-chambered equipment and maintenance screen for main processing chambers. Created integrated look/feel, and custom graphics. Programmed and managed configuration of safety rated programmable logic controller (PLC) system. System controlled safety interlocks for hardware performing tasks with dangerous chemicals, hot steam, and high speed moving parts. Integrated multiple third-party hardware systems.

 Led cross-functional team developing new generation hardware and software architectures. Designed new system controller module reducing cost by over ten thousand dollars through removal of outdated components and operating system. Managed advanced process control software program focused on automated diagnostic data collection.

 Managed five-man software engineering team focused on new technology development including performance evaluating and coaching for improved performance.

 Developed real time embedded machine control software in C on UNIX and DOS based platforms.  Worked on software team developing next generation photolithography tool. Designed and implemented module that combined bake or prime stations with chill stations via a robotic arm. Created custom build utility reducing overhead involved in software deployment.

 Developed real time embedded machine control software in C on UNIX and DOS based platforms.  Interfaced with discrete digital I/O, analog sensors, PID controllers, stepper motor controllers to process semiconductor wafers through a client/server based cluster machine. Created UNIX terminal emulator for serial communication.

 Managed control and improvement of photolithography process, equipment and technicians.  Identified need for UNIX system administrator/software support function, defining position role, assumed responsibility for fourteen-system UNIX network of photolithography tools.
