Process Engineer Intern/ Co-Op June’17- Current

Applied Materials, Sunnyvale, CA

• Working on a new epitaxial tool for improving uniformity and selectivity across silicon wafer during epitaxial growth.

• Designing experiments for process development on epi chamber. Use of Metrology tools (Ellipsometry & XRD) and associated data analysis.

• Leading cross functional teams (software & hardware) to troubleshooting process related issues. Also helping simulation team with application development for above mentioned process. Process Engineer/Graduate Engineer Trainee July’15 – June’16 Hindalco Industries Limited, Aditya Birla Group, Renukoot, India

• Led project execution, worked closely with R&D team for new product development, current process improvement and customer support.

• Introduced a novel idea of pictorial standard operating procedure (SOP) for all machine in the plant and successfully commissioned that.

• Defect identification, failure analysis, yield analysis, diagnosis and minimization of defects in Aluminum (Al) flat rolled products using tools as why-why analysis, Corrective action Preventive Action (CAPA), root cause analysis.

• Six Sigma-Green Belt project on heavy ends level control in oil used for cold rolling process of Al manufacturing. Analyzed data statistically using fishbone diagram, control chart, regression analysis and gauge R&R tools to study the effect of vital causes. Sustained oil quality by prolonging oil top-up cycle from 3 days to 6 days. That led to cost reduction of 1.2 million rupees per annum to Al manufacturing cost. STUDENT ASSISTANTSHIP
