Foundry Technology and Operations -- Leading Edge FinFET product developmentDriving yield, reliability, and performance for key cutting-edge AMD products with our foundry partners. • 2019: Lead product engineer from foundry team for 7nm AMD Radeon RX 5000™ series ("Navi") of gaming GPUs built on RDNA 1st generation architecture• 2020-2023: Product lead, taskforce champion for high volume 6nm-4nm Sony Game Console products, driving the product maturity ramp from NPI to mass production. As the product owner, I am the focal point for all foundry-related issues, and serve as the key P.O.C. across internal functional groups, including regular reporting up to execs. I drove double digit yield gains, DPPM improvements, qualified various new process elements and lithography techniques to reduce cost, while maintaining power, performance, yield, quality and reliability metrics.
