Product Engineer and Applications Engineer

- Qualified new devices SYL2010 (SVGA and WVGA), SYL2030

(WVGA), and SYL2041/61 (SVGA, WVGA, and Wide SVGA) through

IQC, ATE parametric and functional tests, and Optical

Inspection at the projector-level; analyzed, determined root

cause, and communicated design, layout, and packaging

excursions

- Initiated, developed, executed, and managed hardware tracking

(all device types, development kits, and projectors) and

customer support efforts

- Developed production optical inspect test

- Trained new employees on hardware, software, and test

- Audited packaging house and reported directly to engineers

and management improvements needed

- Deemed as the golden eye for all QC, RMA, and FA efforts;

managed all RMA and FA efforts to insure a controlled and

timely execution of actions

- Developed and executed ASIC supply current and video input

timing characterization and reported directly to design

engineers and upper-level management

- Supported Senior wafer-level Product Engineer and Senior

package-level Product Engineer through effectively analyzing

data to provide objective technical decisions

- Supported customer related issues and provided root cause and

resolution feedback to customer and internal cross functional

teams

- Supported Taiwan Field Applications Engineers, Product

Engineer, and Manager

- Company spokesperson at a convention and requested by

President to attend Projection Summit in Las Vegas with CEO,

CTO, and Senior Applications Engineer

- Supported Founders (CEO, CTO, and CFO) in market research,

customer middle-man, and engineering experiments

Texas Instruments

Co-op in DLP Group

- Presented yields to cross functional groups, multiple

Management levels, QRA, Tech Development, Design, Process,

Test, and FA engineers at daily meetings to understand

process variation driving yield loss across all major volume

products (mottling defect-appearing as random low contrast

variations in brightness)

- Development and implementation of an automated CCD camera

test (CCA) resulted in Inventor #2 on patent

- Supported xHD5 (1080p) device ramp and yield for the DLP TV

product engineering group

- Detailed failure analysis of projector screen fails through

Microscope, SEM, and interferometer scan

- Investigated projector aperture performance and proposed a

new design to accurately detect mottling yield loss
