PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
SUMCO phoenix Corporation, Maineville, OH 2007-present
Global maunfaturer of silicon wafers for the semiconductor industry.
Equipment Engineer
Design and implement epitaxial semiconductor equipment improvements
including increasing safety, reducing downtime, cost, and parts usage as
well as increasing yield.
Converted damper controlled cooling air supply to closed loop VFD control,
saving over $60,000/yr in energy costs.
Installed and configured 40% more efficient solid state RF generator in
place of tube generator for induction heating system.
Programmed new operator interfaces to replace obsolete interfaces, and
increase user friendliness.
Redesigned lift system from an air actuated, oil dampened system to an
electric actuated, air dampened system eliminating choppy movements that
caused yield losses, and oil cylinder failures due to heat.
Reduced idle state nitrogen usage by 80%.
Designed Hydrogen and Dopant detection systems to increase safety of
operators and technicians.
Redesigned cooling air filter assembly for better filter seal, reducing
particulate count by nearly 80%
New sabina industries inc., Sabina, OH 2006-2007
Global manufacturer of automotive instrument clusters.
Equipment Engineer
Implement new model changes, improve system design, and provide
troubleshooting support to technicians.
Changed open loop stepper system on wave solder machine to closed loop
servo to eliminate "lost steps", and cut cycle time in half.
Designed a solder wave height detection system in which the machine could
test and set the solder wave height, taking operator error out of this
process.
Changed PCB line layout of up to 30 stations for new models.
Designed printed circuit board holding fixtures.
Programmed and setup board soldering sequences in CNC g-code.
Provided techinician support for equipment such as Seho wave solder and re-
flow ovens, KISS wave solder, and Panasonic Softbeam and MSR.
