Objective
Seeking full-time employment as a hardware engineer in the technology industry Education
University of California, Los Angeles (graduated March 2017) Bachelor of Science: Materials Science and Chemistry, Organic Concentration Work and Research Experience
● Google/Nest Labs, Palo Alto, CA; R eliability Test Engineer (May 2017-present) o Conducting reliability and product development testing within a lab environment (Accelerated testing, drop testing, tensile/shear testing, chemical and UV exposure)
o Qualifying Instron MF 30 polymer melt flow tester for internal testing o Perform failure and root cause analysis of test and field units (x-ray, cross section, micro-scratch, TGA/DSC)
● Finisar Corporation, F remont, CA; P rocess Engineering Intern (June 2016-September 2016, 12 week summer internship) o Developed an optical flip chip process and applying solder wetting in order to achieve self-aligning optical components
o Implemented die bonding by surface mount BGA solder reflow process and cross section and XCT characterization of solder joints
o Analyzed a silicone underfill curing issue; researched literature regarding silicone polymerization and interacted with vendors to source new materials
o Involved in design of experiments design and application
● Finisar Corporation, F remont, CA; P rocess Engineering Intern (June 2015-September 2015, 12 week summer internship) o Expanded automated metrology systems for developing optical fiber modules for use in datacom and telecom. o Worked primarily on the Micro-Vu 2D metrology OMM scope and the Zeta 3D profiler to screen parts for optical sub-assemblies
o Reduced time required during production to screen parts by implementing a multiple-part screening procedure integrated with statistical process control (SPC)
o Identified and quantified flaws within part design that led to misalignments, especially at extreme temperatures
