Led team throughout performing review and disposition of each mask after OPC verification code initial run.• Orchestrated system development using combination of XML, Object Oriented programming and Calibre tool coding for creating modular code that verified each mask before manufacturing of chips. This effort resulted in improved turnaround time for code updates and code re-usability.• Partnered with OPC and Integration teams confirming verification checks covered all failure.• Trained new engineers on writing code and reviewing designs resulting in improved performance.• Drove team through defining and implementing regression system affirming any updated code worked as intended without resulting in changes in other areas of code.• Worked with tool vendors identifying new features needed for improvements.• Organized and headed weekly meetings for task distribution and discussing code implementation and status of mask reviews ensuring quality execution and acceleration review and disposition completion.
