Micron Semiconductor, Singapore (Process and Equipment Engineer) Aug 2015 - Aug 2018

• Accomplished process improvements and sustaining activities on thin-film deposition processes like oxidation, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), atomic layer deposition (ALD), and thermal annealing

• Assisted in preventive and corrective maintenance (PM/CM) procedures to comply with quality standards

• Spearheaded a core team of 3 to transfer and qualify First-of-a-Kind tool from US to Singapore; troubleshot process-mismatch by parametric process changes and devised solution within 2 days

• Formalized and launched projects including cost reduction, new materials/equipment qualification, new plant startup, new tool installation, process step relocation, and yield improvement

• Initiated and developed a novel approach to compensate furnace hardware limitation via gas flow optimization to successfully reduce process noise by 65%, enabling 3% quality gain

• Represented “Thin-film Deposition/Diffusion Department” to advice operational and technical recommendations in a 15-member team to plan and enforce commencement of Quad-Level Cell

• Oversaw a 10-member team in monitoring and improving manufacturing yield in Singapore Fab; composed reports and corresponded with Fab Leadership Team on progress and projections

• Conducted training sessions to team members on new hardware features and operating platform

• Coached 3 new hires in manufacturing methodologies and process control basics National University of Singapore, Singapore (Student Research Assistant) Feb 2014 - May 2015

• Conceptualized a material synthesis project by collaborating with membrane research team

• Streamlined research protocols and implemented best practices Public Utilities Board, Singapore (Intern) Dec 2010 - Jan 2011

• Partnered with a group of 5 on-site engineers and technicians in Bedok Waterworks to redesign chlorination process to meet higher standard of national water quality to meet revised regulation

• Supported engineers to study financial feasibility, logistics planning and HAZOP PUBLICATIONS
