Work Experience

Process Engineer Oct. 2010 - Dec.

2012

Silicor Materials Inc., Vaughan, ON

. A foundry manufacturer of low-cost, upgraded metallurgical grade

silicon (UMG-Si) for the photo-voltaic industry, responsible for the

evaluation of directional solidification and characterization of

outgoing material to customers

. Drilled core samples for chemical analyses and measured electrical

resistivity in order to properly dope the silicon to optimize solar

cell efficiency

. Tracked, collected, analyzed, and presented statistical data based on

yield, throughput, and chemistry and made recommendations to improve

process flow

. Wrote and updated work instructions to optimize work flow and

personally trained others on those instructions

. Developed and implemented a "quality gate" system to pass/fail

material and was responsible for the disposition of silicon that did

not meet internal technical specifications

. Spearheaded and implemented engineering process deviation experiments

to improve yield and quality, perform failure analysis, and root cause

analysis

. Troubleshoot, calibrated, and maintained electrical resistivity tester

and testing probes

CNC Lathe Machine Operator Jun. 2010

- Oct. 2010

Randstad Canada Group for MSM Magna Powertrain, Concord, ON

. Operated an automated lathe machine and flow former in an automotive

manufacturing plant for power-train components

. Ensured quality control by regularly conducting visual inspections and

product measurements using various types of gauges to ensure

dimensions were within specifications and adjusted tool offsets

accordingly

. Performed tool insert changes on a regular basis to ensure optimal

machine performance

. Conducted regular machine and environment checks to ensure a safe and

clean work environment

Teaching Assistant (TA) Sept. 2007 -

Dec. 2008

McMaster University, Hamilton, ON

. Instructed 2nd year undergraduate engineering students in measurement

and communication

. Spent an average of 10 hours per week performing TA duties including:

evaluation of assignments and presentations, lecturing, and laboratory

class management

. Instructed laboratories (approx. 8 undergraduate students at a time)

on metrology, metallurgical analysis, and optical microscopy

emphasizing safety and procedural consistency

. Assisted in lecture on Presentation Skills and Measurement and

Specifications
