Employment History:
Wonik Co. Ltd.
Simplox Solar, LLC (Rio Rancho, NM) March 2009 to present
Global Sales and Service Engineer
Simplox Solar represented various Solar OEM’s that did not have the ability to deploy
resources internationally and we install and maintain the equipment they sell to PV (Solar)
manufacturers. My main task in this company was to direct the installation of turnkey automatic
silicon wafer processing systems.
Wonik, a multinational chemical conglomerate based in Korea (called WIQIC in the US),
acquired the assets of Simplox Solar in June of 2011; this US subsidiary manufactures quartz-
ware components for the semiconductor, medical, solar and nuclear industries and I am the sales
and service engineer for the company, troubleshooting process and hardware issues related to
the company’s products.
FormFactor, Inc. (Livermore, CA) June 2008 to March 2009
Process Engineer
Monitored line performance using 6 sigma statistical methods, and provided
troubleshooting and feedback support to FAB Operations in order to maintain and improve
process control; implemented and maintained operator work instructions, and worked with
Manufacturing to achieve quality and output goals, supporting a program of continuous
improvement consistent with company business objectives.
The manufacturing of the product that I was assigned to was discontinued in the USA and
moved offshore, furloughed along with 25% of personnel.
Integrated Materials, Inc. (Sunnyvale, CA) April 2006 to June 2008
Applications Engineer
Traveled extensively throughout the world installing the company products used in
automatic wafer handling equipment, troubleshooting automation and process issues related to
the product and worked in close collaboration with the VP of Engineering to solve latent
engineering issues.
The Company assets sold to an overseas (Chinese) venture; all technical and managerial
personnel furloughed.

Resolved technical manufacturing issues such as those caused by complex automated
equipment, and proposed firm solutions sometimes putting together external and internal subject
matter experts to address any potential risks.
Provided daily guidance to junior technicians and engineers on the installation,
commissioning, repair and maintenance of complex automated semiconductor manufacturing
equipment and rationalized a preventative maintenance methodology that increased tool
availability in the BSM module by 17%. I also increased the yield and throughput (250%) in the
automated VFR module and was awarded US Patent 7,325,716 for my lead work on a dense
intermetallic compound layer with increased bump strength.
Initiated, coordinated and implemented the approval of equipment changes and
manufacturing specifications while adhering to Intel’s strict CE! Rule.
