Qualification Summary

24x7 manufacturing support, inventory control, process validation, technology transfer, parametric and yield

analysis.

In depth knowledge of continuous improvement, experiment design process qualification, data analysis and

training.

Proven track record for high levels of quality assurance, cost savings, productivity, and overall equipment

readiness.

CORE COMPETENCIES

• Production and Processing: knowledge of production processes, quality control, costs reduction, and other

techniques for maximizing the effective manufacture and distribution of goods.

• Planning and Organizing: skilled in tool matching and production studies, process improvement, task

management, project follow through and setting priorities to achieve business goals.

• Creative Problem Solver: responds rapidly and appropriately to changing circumstances. Evaluates and

identifies problems/needs to make astute decisions to effect positive change, and refocus on new priorities.

SELECTED ACHIEVEMENTS

• Lead team in benchmark execution and implementation of unit process area experiment management and

equipment qualification systems, to accomplish factory startup automation goals.

• Improved unscheduled downtime and mean time between failures (MTBF) on high current-low energy

equipment. Designed experiments (DOE) from vendor’s best known method (BKM), result increased tool life

40%.

• Engineer team lead for process speed improvement project. Successfully optimized process through

experimental design on the medium energy particle accelerator. Achieved above 90% setup success rate and

averaged 20% raw process time reduction.

• Department point of contact for metrology equipment maintenance and qualifications for new factory ramp

up. Qualified approximately $4 million worth of primary and secondary tools, exceeding all factory deadlines

and meeting quality specifications.

• Efficiently redesigned and tested work methods for extending usage, storing and reclaiming used monitor

wafers. Trained shift operations teams on new procedures. Monthly budget reduced 30%.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Process Engineer, Ion Implant and Metrology

Qimonda AG, Richmond, VA Dec. 2004 – Feb 2009

• Implemented process improvements, designed experiments, and provided technical expertise, while

maintaining balance between sustaining and leading cross-functional team projects.

• Analyzed and reviewed associated statistical control charts (SPC) and advanced process control schemes (APC).

• Investigated assignable cause(s) to equipment failures, speed loss and product scrap.

• Qualified ~$35 million worth of new process equipment during factory startup, while meeting quality

specifications and factory deadlines for new technology ramp.

• Oversaw job specific training and documentation for tool operation and out of control action plans (OCAP’s).

• Coordinated Design of Experiment projects (DOE) for engineer testing, equipment matching, process speed and

capital improvements.

• Generated Failure Mode and Effects Analyses (FMEA’s) to assess risk for equipment and process upgrades.

• Metrology equipment point of contact for maintenance calibrations, standard qualifications, recipe setup/test,

engineer experiments and product disposition.
