Manage a team of talented engineers and technicians responsible for quotes and engineering support.Manage projects of quotes, new product development, process improvement, and product transfers. Provide engineering support and service to customers and manufacturing, quote for customers, new product introduction (NPI) and quality analysis.Design cable assemblies and wiring harness for customers, creating AUTOCAD drawings.

New product introduction (NPI), work instructions, quality analysis, design for manufacturing (DFM), manufacturing support, and product related customer service.- Closely worked with process engineering, test engineering, quality and manufacturing, successfully resolved some old quality/manufacturing problems such as insufficient soldered DFN devices, mis-mounted SMT connectors, mechanical assembly, and wire crimping, etc.- Successfully developed many new products for customers, from SMT, wave soldering, hand soldering and mechanical assemblies

- Supported the NPI and manufacturing process (termiation, alignment, polishing), testing (insertion loss, return loss and extinction ratio) and Quality inspection at the plant in Asia, by providing trainings and leadership in engineering and manufacturing. Successfully improved the yield and customer satisfaction- Supervised a produciton line of special fiber assemblies - Used statistical process control (SPC) and Six Sigma tool to monitor process capability, calculated Cpk for fiber endface geometry, etc. - Created and updated process and tesitng procedures

Moved from BreconRidge after the acquisition by Sanmina-SCI.- Supported and continuosly improved the end to end process flow for the manufacturing and RMA of optical networking circuit packs, from SMT to mechanical/optical assemblies- Developed the maufacturing process for networking circuit packs- Investigted quality issues in process and components from the suppliers- Coordinated NPI deliverables with cross-functional teams, such as the readiness of tooling, product data, bills of materials, assembly procedures, labor time and routings - Monitored, analyzed the test yield data (AOI, Xray, F/T, etc.), provided post build reports to customer, highlighting DFX issues and manufacturing issues during NPI.- Participated in the successful implementation of Lean in manufacturing networking circuit packs; did time study, optimized production layout and process flow.
