I am the Co-Plant Manager and Engineering Manager at Northwest Stamping and Precision. NWS produces high precision metal stamped parts. I am responsible for the designs, builds, and maintenance of the class A progressive dies we run. My other duties include planning, outside sales, and overseeing projects, as well as managing finances and supervising engineering, quality, and tool maintenance. I previously worked as a Mechanical/Process/Service Engineer in the Research and Development Department at Yushin Precision Equipment in Japan, exclusively focused on a semiconductor wafer bonding process. My last 2 years there, I was the lead service engineer internationally.
