Aurora, Il

Product Development Engineer / Engineer II (R&D) 2006 – 2012• Advanced Dielectric slurry formulation development, testing, optimization and improvement utilizing Design for Six Sigma (DFSS).• Developed method to polish and measure pattern wafer performance on tabletop polisher, saving ~$200 per wafer tested, totaling ~$150,000/year.Product Development Engineer / Engineer I (R&D) 2004 – 2006 • Modified and improved small scale polisher, including software design, so all R&D teams could develop slurries/pads more efficiently. The new polisher increased the amount of tests per shift by 100%.• Developed method to cut down larger wafers to 1.6” coupons to decrease cost and increase productivity of tabletop polishing and polish more representative surfaces (DMAIC green belt project). This method decreased the cost ~12X of a standard cleanroom test.Research Associate (R&D) 2000 – 2004
