STRENGTHS & HIGHLIGHT ACHIEVEMENTS
• The melding of my broad semiconductor electronics experience base; i.e., Hands-On Engineering (QA, Reliability, Process, Equipment, Product, Test, & Integration), has developed in me the strong and well-honed abilities to identify issues, resolve them quickly & permanently, deliver results on-schedule & in budget, as well as to effectively follow or lead, positively energizing cross-functional teams in pursuit of Continuous Quality Improvement for TPM & TQM success, including, but not limited to PCB’s, inspections, calibration, measurement, Failure Analysis (electrical & physical), and test.
• Numerous experiences in, and recognitions for addressing Non-Conforming-Materials, MRB’s, identifying root causes, identifying and efficiently implementing effective preventive and corrective actions, to eliminate recurrence of the same NCM’s
• Well-experienced in customer expectations, industry, and government standards (e.g., ISO 9001 & 14k), internal & external audit planning, execution, & follow-up to closure, well-developed verbal and written communications skills and their application to create and implement applicable technical documentation for tactical & strategic efforts; e.g., proposals, plans, schematics, BOM’s, schedules, budgets, procedures, specs, reports, checklists, training materials, presentations, and much more; this, with well-supported, succinct, & effective presentation of plans, schedules, budgets, analyses, and results to all affected, cross-functional teams, management, and/or customers & suppliers for buyin – both internal and external.
• Drawing from familiarity with a variety of Statistical, QA, and Reliability tools, methods, standards, and models (e.g., FMEA, SPC, DOE, 8D, 5S, Six-Sigma, TQM, TPM, Deming’s Plan-Do-Act-Check cycles, Ishikawa Diagrams, Pareto Analysis, Process Capability, Control Charts, & ANOVA Gauge R&R studies), I’ve achieved a knack for reaching well-supported, high-probability conclusions and recommendations, facilitating on schedule, reliable results.
• Skilled in the use of a wide variety of hand tools, measuring devices, electrical & electronic meters & equipment, as well as mechanical, hydraulic, and vacuum devices & equipment.
CAREER SUMMARY:
Senior to Staff Engineer in Reliability & Process Development/Integration/Transfer/ Qualification with semiconductor corporations, including Texas Instruments, AMD, LSI Logic, Intel, and Philips Semiconductors (22 years in total)
Quality & Reliability Manager with startup through mature, world-wide semiconductor corporations, including Nitronex, Samsung, and Submicron Technology (4 years in total)
QA Engineer with MICRON TECHNOLOGY (1 year)
Nuclear Engineer with the IDAHO NATIONAL ENGINEERING LABORATORY (2 years)
ADDITIONALLY APPLICABLE STRENGTHS
• Extensive Business and Technical experience with multi-cultural customers, both internal and external, including Fluency in Spanish, working knowledge of German and Thai. My world-wide experience, bilingual (almost trilingual) and multi-cultural background could blend into a strong fit for most any corporation, regardless of its geographical location.
• QA, Reliability, and Statistical Modeling & high-confidence, extrapolated, & derated-Reliability-projection for both Technologies and Products.
• Strong Work Ethic, Reliable staff-member, and repeatedly awarded for always making myself available to manufacturing personnel to quickly resolve any/all issues affecting production.
