Hard working engineer with a focus in Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering with experience
in R&D labs and startup environments. Team player, adaptable, with a track record for stretching beyond
expectations.
WORK HISTORY:
Idalia Solar Technologies, LLC Stony Brook, NY June 2010 – Present
Laboratory Technician
Major Challenges Met
Sole lab tech working directly with Chief Inventor/VP of R&D. Involved in every step of building a solar
cell R&D lab and fabrication line, working toward the development of next generation PV cells.
Accomplishments:
Co-designed with VP of BusDev the layout of 1500 sq. ft lab & office space in the Long Island
High Technology Incubator.
Sourced major and minor equipment, materials, chemicals, hardware, and software. Dealt with
orders, receiving, processing returns. Responsible for receiving and managing inventory of
chemicals and MSDS sheets.
Installed, calibrated, maintained, and trained in operation of all equipment, including solar
measurement devices, vacuum coater, screen printer, rapid thermal annealer, furnaces, and custom
spraying equipment. Built computers and installed control software where relevant.
Custom AutoCAD design of Lab View-controlled spray apparatus, including sourcing OEM
sprayer, pumps, linear actuators, pneumatic valves, flow controllers, conveyor system, and
industrial spray booth. AutoCAD 2D and 3D design of mounts for spray apparatus. Physically
built 1200cfm spray booth.
Spray apparatus is capable of moving in a linear pattern, maximizing the spraying of any solution
onto surfaces, accomplishing a repeatable, smooth, and uniform finish. The software driving the
equipment controls the amount of air pressure that needs to be released and the amount of liquid
being sprayed. The spraying is computer controlled by Lab View software to match the configured
speed of the conveyor where the substrate will be placed.
Design of custom mount for IR/VR sensors for Newport/Oriel QE system, eliminating variability
in measurements and reducing time of experiments.
Design of custom Stainless steel wash station for cleaning used printing screens.
Interfaced and managed relationship with 3rd party shop to machine all custom designs.
Responsible for acceptance evaluation.
Calibrated and operated vacuum sputtering system (Denton Desktop Pro) for Physical deposition
of various metallic thin films on silicon wafers. Sourced and procured high purity metal targets
and gas cylinders.
Maintained active working relationships with vendors, outside agencies and staff members.
Customized stainless steel inner shield for the Denton vacuum deposition.
TECHNICAL SKILLS & DEVICE OPERATION:
Rapid Thermal Annealer setting and operation
