SUMMARY

A detail-oriented, test engineer with extensive experience in test development and test crisis support

manufacturing from end to end are keen ability to access low to high complexity test engineering work for test

solutions from inception. Accomplished two KAIZEN cost reduction projects for saving 30% development

time by developing database for the internal device library using for Takaya offline program development, and

automation test script for AOI and 5DX offline program development and reducing down time 50% while

managed integrity of 9 critical machines and 9 burn-in chambers. Enjoy working in a fast-paced, team-oriented

environment, work well under pressure, and skills necessary to handle a challenging project. Knowledge and

experience with:

• Handle multiple projects and work with cross functional teams to provide Design for Testability,

develop test strategies, develop test quote solutions, and develop reliability qualification plans for new

products.

• Perform Early Field Failure Analyses for the products through the entire product life-cycle and provide

corrective action.

• Valid new hardware design under test software application, new equipment development and

qualification as needed.

• Evaluate customer requirements, creative approach to problem solving, and make technical proposals.

• Train, coach employees under management, and conduct employee performance reviews.

• Strong organization, leadership skills, strong aptitude for learning new technologies, and work well

cross-functionally to develop test solutions.

- Test Applications: Procom, Perl, Visual Basic.

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE

JABIL, San Jose, California 2000-2011

Lead Test Development Project Engineer

Leading technical activities focused on the test solution development and advancement of test solutions such

as the discovery and evaluation of new technology, new test gears, driving innovation, and being the principle

architect for very complex test solutions.

• Managed test development group and accomplished two KAIZEN cost reduction projects for saving 30%

in staffing cost by developing database for the internal device library using for Takaya offline program

development, and test script for automation AOI and 5DX offline program development and reducing

down time 50% while managed integrity of 9 critical machines and 9 burn-in chambers.

• Created and validated training curriculum in area of responsibility for cross-trained 20 co-workers

annually to achieve the highest levels of quality and efficiency.

• Defined test solutions and implement test engineering strategies which contribute to the campus strategic

directions and provided regular updates to Business Unit Manager and Test Manager on the execution of

the strategy.

• Ensured 100% adherence to all company policies and procedures (i.e. Health and Safety, Quality).

• Prepared timely forecasts for the test department and compared forward forecast results to historical

actual results for trend assessment and analysis and utilized tools to monitor departmental cost and cost

trends, striving continuously to improve value.

• Strategized to implement the lean manufacturing operation, 5 S’s discipline and KAIZEN and evaluated

customer test strategies and recommend appropriate test solutions to support customer requests.

• Filled in as needed when test developer was absent and received award for exceptional employee

performance.

PCB, San Jose, California 2000 – 2000

Senior Test Engineer
