Qualifications Profile

I am a solutions-oriented Senior Process/Manufacturing Engineer with

expertise in leading the design, development, and implementation of

processes and automated production tools for the manufacturing of wafer

based semiconductor devices while supporting continual process improvements

and lean manufacturing methodologies in large-scale manufacturing.

. Advanced level of technical proficiency coupled with highly refined

business acumen, demonstrated by repeated success in the

manufacture/processing of semiconductor device, space/terrestrial

(CPV) solar cell and optoelectronics devices. Responsible for

design/development of next generation high power semiconductor

concentrated solar packages and processes including manufacturing

solutions that directly promote business growth.

. Highly effective at producing departmental policies and procedures,

procurement specifications, change and configuration management, ECN

(engineering change notification), budget and schedule coordination,

while supervising multidisciplinary teams in technological, process

and quality roles.

. Dynamic communications skills, with success developing and maintaining

lasting relationships with key clients, vendors, partners and co-

workers while fully communicating technical solutions to users and

staff at all levels of technical proficiency.

. Influential leadership (by example), supervisory and front line

management abilities, able to coordinate and oversee cross-functional

teams, fostering highly productive and results-focused team

environments.

Technical Proficiencies

Platforms: Windows XP, AS400

Tools: Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access,

Outlook), Project, Visio, Lotus Notes, Crystal Reports, JMP

Statistical Tools, Query Analyzer, SolidWorks, SPC process

controls and DOE experience, Six Sigma Black Belt (study)

Professional Experience

Amonix Seal Beach California

2009-Current

Research and Development Process/Packaging Engineer providing

process/manufacturing development plans for current and new generation

(automated) manufacturing of CPV (concentrated photovoltaic devices).

Presently working in research and development of next generation CPV

packages. Responsible for equipment procurement, yield improvement and

manufacturing process development for future expansion. Process development

includes (but not limited to) Soft Solder Die Attach, Parallel Gap

Resistance Welding, Wire Bonding, Die Attach, Screen Printing, Solder

Reflow, Acoustic Sonoscan and X-Ray failure analysis.

Emcore Corporation Albuquerque New Mexico

2000-2008

Senior Process/Manufacturing Engineer responsible for process improvements,

infrastructure development, and yield monitoring for all back end

Space/Terrestrial Solar Cell and optoelectronics VCSEL (vertical cavity

surface emitting laser) manufacturing.

Dallas Semiconductor Dallas, TX 1995-2000

Manufacturing/Process Engineering - responsible for process improvement,

manufacturing yields, and maintenance of all equipment used in

manufacturing custom integrated circuits as Dallas Semiconductor.

Experience with equipment/process improvements for die sorting/die bonding,

wire bonding (Al and Au), glob top, automated assembly tools, high-speed

surface mount (pcb assembly).

Motorola Semiconductor Austin, TX

1989-1995

Manufacturing/Process Engineering responsible for process, yield and

equipment in front-end and back-end assembly of injection molded Quad Flat

Pack and Molded Carrier Ring semiconductor product at the Austin Assembly

Plant. These include: SMT die attach, solder reflow attach, wave

soldering, die bonding, wire-bonding, Fico auto injection molding systems,

Dusan auto deflash, trim/form, ring singulate and laser marking.

Key Achievements:

. Developed dice processes for VCSEL and solar cell devices on Ge, GaAs,

and InP wafers, as well as glass, ceramic and other materials. Yield

improvement of ~30%

. Team member responsible for procuring and implementing an automated

Solar Cell interconnect welding/inspection tool, which saved Emcore in

operating costs and improved capacity by replacing manual weld

operations/staff.

. Identified processes/equipment to improve space and terrestrial solar

cell cover glass attach process by upgrading equipment at minimum

costs, which improved throughput and raised yields considerably.

. Worked with a team to identify key employees and processes to be

transferred from Emcore's newly acquired facility in Southern

California to the Albuquerque facility, enabling the successful

transition of space cell manufacturing in Albuquerque to become a

reality. Worked with team to design layout, workflow, installation of

new equipment and defined processes. Implemented process control, work

instructions and trained operators.

. While working in the fiber optics division I developed a world-class

VCSEL die sorting operation by upgrading existing equipment at a

fraction of the cost of new equipment. These processes continue to run

flawlessly today.

. Procured and qualified automated inspection process utilizing the

August Technologies NSX 95 to provide wafer and group inspection of

VCSEL and Photodiode devices at a fraction of the time required by

manual inspection cutting costs and improving throughput.

. Developed dicing processes for IIIV semiconductor devices, cover glass

and ceramic substrates to eliminate the need for outsourcing the

dicing process and reduced costs by ~500K/annually. Provided factory

support by implementing, documenting and performing preventive and

corrective maintenance on semiconductor manufacturing equipment while

working closely with the Quality group

Additional Experience
