Resume:

**/**/****

Hello,

Please accept my resume for the research Technician Associate job, or any

other positions that would be suitable for me. I am confident that my

background and skills in research techniques will prove to be an effective

match for your qualifications.

I have had a great deal of laboratory experience as R&D Tribology Chemical

Integration, both indoors and qualify for Customer as well. In the lab, I

have performed chemical like using different percentage of HCl or Humidity

with variety temperature range to see how Aluminum and glass disk

reaction; I also used microscopes, Atomic Force Microscope (AFM/MFM),

Optical Surface Analyzer (OSA), and Guzik Sweep Test to observe and

analyze many micro defects such as lube, Carbon, Corrosions, scratch, or

even tiny pit. In environmental field, I helped Engineers study new

advance process for future need.

During working at Western Digital Media in Tribology Chemical Integration

lab, I successfully worked closely with the samples being studied. I

supported the research in completing assigned experiments, and recorded

and analyzed massive amounts of data. This experience gave me the

opportunity to work closely with a great team of researchers, and helped

me to understand the importance of good lab practice.

My research experiences have been positive ones due in part to my

interpersonal skills. I work well in teams, am reliable and organized, and

enthusiastic to learn. I am sure that I will carry over the same

enthusiasm and skill in doing research at your institution.

Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

Jennifer Nga Nguyen

Career Summary Statement:

An enthusiastic and self-confident Senior Process or R&D Technician with

over 22 years experience. Able to learn and adapt quickly. Partnered well

with engineering to complete failure analysis and research on new products

Experience

Komag - Western Digital: Tribology R&D - Chemical Integration (1999 -

2008)

Position: Senior Technician

. Used the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM/MFM) to measure roughness,

defects, corrosions, lube issues, scratch test, and competitor

analysis. Then reported the summary of the tests to the engineer in

order to insure higher yield and corrections of defects within the

current disks. These reports were also used for future studies.

. Used Optical Surface Analyzer (OSA) Raman, resistance, and Contact

Angle to see corrosion counts, FA defects, lube measurements, carbon

uniformity or thickness, to scribe micro defects in the company and

competitor's disks. Provided a summary of the results and reported to

the engineer for in house and advanced studies.

. Used different methods such as baked disks or hydrochloric acid (HCl)

to test the disk corrosion status, which helped spot out defects

within the current disks. Also used the Optical Surface Analyzer (OSA)

again, to spot out corrosion, scratches, hazes, and even lube issues

to help make recommendations to the engineer.

Flextronics Photonics: Production (1999)

Position: Process Technician - Supervisor

. Organized and supervised the Pilot Line team. Overviewed all new

procedures before passing down information and training of all new

products. Provided daily summaries and report recommendations to the

engineer.

Western Digital: R&D Texture (1996-1999)

Position: Technician

. Set up, adjusted and maintained the EDC texture and LZT machines in

order to achieve required Ra, Rmax, bump height, bump diameter, and

bump spacing.

. Was able to understand and recognize texture related defects,

insufficient texture, non-texture, shadow line, texture scratches,

etc.

. Helped engineers study and research all kinds of diamond powder,

tapes, buffing solutions, substrates for future company needs.

. Used the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) to measure Ra, which helped

spot out all kinds of defects such as FA, drive, glass-disks, bare

glass, and new substrates. Provided analysis and summary in a brief

report to the engineer.

Western Digital: R&D Tribology (1990-1996)

Position: Technician

. Helped engineers set up and quality Glide and Cert MC900 machines.

Also, tested glide avalanche for finished goods. Summarized and

reported the yields to the engineer.

. Helped engineers study and search for all kinds of new heads (glide,

cert, and burnish) by operating on the Phase Metric, Wyco machine,

Zyco machine, and microscope.

. Prequalified by using MSA 450 Tester for glide after finished goods.

Reported to the engineer after the test.

Western Digital Media (1986-1990)

Position: Leader in Sputter & Lube in Process

. Received excellent ratings, was responsible as a leader in Sputter

Operation with MDP Intervac and Leybold sputter equipment, processes,

and lube operation

. Interfaced with computer systems for SPC data collection and kept wip

in control. Reported to supervisor or manager on a daily basis.

Education

. Associate of Art: Computer Information System

o May, 1997. Evergreen Valley College, San Jose, CA

. Present at Foot Hill College, Los Altos Hills, CA 94022-4599
