QA / QC / R&D Analyst / Associate Chemist

Advenira Enterprises Inc., Sunnyvale, CA 2015 – Present Coating process development of corrosion and abrasion on substrates

Contributed to synthesis of corrosion and abrasion-resistant sol-gel formulations for thin-film deposition.

Assisted with research and development of thin film formulations, by applications, from synthesis, formulations to final customer requirements; including substrate cleaning, pretreatment, coating, cure and characterization.

Dip, spray, spin and rod coated polycarbonate, glass, and metal substrates for research and development formulations and customer samples. Measured the thickness, reflection and transmission properties, color absorbencies, adhesion, and abrasion resistance of thin-films on substrates using characterization instrumentation.

Researched and selected materials based on characterizations of individual properties, tracked solution properties and developed correlations between formulations and coating properties and quality.

Improved a chemical synthesis and adapted the process resulting in a 20% increase in corrosion resistance.

Altered and improved the formulation composition resulting in an increased abrasion resistance of 10%

Contributed Scale-up and transference of formulation syntheses from bench to reactor scale.

Conducted shelf-life and quality control studies on formulations to increase synthesis processes.

Wrote several SOPs for formulation syntheses. Contributed detailed SOPs for formulation syntheses with document observations and critical parameters of coating quality and performance through iterative coating property/solution reformulation cycles.

Provided technical support and assistance to chemists/engineers in setting up and conducting chemical syntheses and characterization of formulations.

Comprehensive familiarity with EH&S regulatory compliance and record keeping.

Maintained and cleaned the lab equipment and instruments. Inventoried chemicals and ordered lab supplies.

Wrote technical reports, prepared graphs and charts documenting and summarizing experimental results. QA / QC, Research and Development Analyst

DuPont (formerly Innovalight Inc. acquired by DuPont), Sunnyvale, CA 2008 – 2015 Silicon nanoparticle ink formulation, silicon ink application to solar cell and battery cell

Performed QA / QC testing of raw materials, components, in-process, finished products, product shipments. Generated Certificate of Analysis, inspection, releasing and packaging.

Thorough knowledge of current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP), ISO and Quality Systems.

Maintained standardization of laboratory reagents, instrument calibration and maintenance records; coordinated maintenance contracts.

Initiated SOP program and wrote SOP for product testing and equipment’s calibration for both QA / QC and R&D Departments to send products to customers on time.

Lead QA / QC Trainer operating technicians in laboratory procedures and equipment use.

Maintained Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS), and advised EH&S on safety needs.

Reduced cost of lab chemicals, materials and supplies 15-20% by negotiating prices with vendors.

Hands-on preparation of lithium-ion battery anodes. Served as lead technician in formulation and casting of custom anode materials incorporating nano-silicon. QA / QC Chemist II

Momentive Specialty Chemical, (formerly Hexion /Borden Chemical), Fremont, CA 2000 - 2008 Chemical products and FDA products

Promoted from QA / QC Lab Technician II, Senior QA/QC Lab Technician to QA/QC Chemist II

Managed QA / QC Department of 3 technicians and heavily involved in EHS and production.

Lead QA / QC Trainer of operating technicians in laboratory procedures and equipment use.

Performed QA / QC testing of raw materials, components, in-process, finished products, and product shipments of FDA products. Generated Certificate of Analysis, inspection, releasing and packaging.

Prepared and updated SOPs and overall document control. Wrote SOPs for FDA and chemical products testing, equipment calibration, and waste water testing. Backed up document control processes, including processing of document change orders and document number issuance

Initiated, set up and maintained Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for Fremont Plant.

Thorough knowledge of current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP), and Quality Systems for FDA and finished products. Participation in FDA and wrap-up of the audits including handling of nonconformities. Assured products met ISO and FDA regulation compliance.

Monitored Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPA), including external and internal audit action items. Supported complaint and CAPA process. Communicated CAPA status cross-functionally to all departments and participated in cross-functional investigations (e.g., schedules, minutes, etc).

Generated trending reports. Reported on departmental activities and efficiencies to Quality management.

Improved QA metrics, and in designing reports by using the classification and trending of non-conformances for finished products and raw material chemical.

Supported sales in reviewing and addressing customer complaints. Gathered input from internal departments to assist in completing customer and consumer compliance documents.

Supported Manufacturing Operations in accordance with standard operating and quality procedures/ policies.

Coordinated review and documentation of customer response program; generate Nonconformance reports

(NCR) and facilitate their processing (calculating and determining steps to bring nonconformance products into specifications). Insured customer compliance by performing SPC/SQC functions.

Assisted EHS Site Coordinator with analysis of environmental waste streams (Air emissions, Water discharges, Waste) for Regulatory Compliance Reporting by monitoring and documenting exposures to meet OSHA requirements. Reduced duplicate testing and improved productivity by training Production Operators to test for required specifications, and analyze treated waste water to prevent contamination before releasing to sewer.
