W.L. Gore & Associates Inc., Sunnyvale, CA Assembly Tech
2008-2009
Performed semi-complex tasks in the preparation for medical device
assembly; placed parts in specified relationship to each other Device
History Record (DHR). Worked on line where tasks vary as different mandrel
models (Iliac/Aortic/Contraleg/IPSI/Trunk winding patterns) moves along
line. Accurately recorded and completed manufacturing documentation.
Certified Rotation Inspection.
Lifescan Inc., Milpitas, CA Process Technician III
1997-2006
Performed formulation/coating. Weighing and mixing chemicals to formulate
the dip to coat membrane, and meet target specification range. Visually
inspected coated membrane for defects. Maintain 0% error by using
Kinematics, Owens, and Conquip visual tables to mark and track defects.
Set up coated membrane on slitting machine to segment into tracks. Sampled
membrane lot by cutting sections of the membrane with the production
machine to be sliced. Sliced sample cards into test strips with a semi-
manual slicing machine. Segregated strips; assigned, labeled, and bottled
to be tested. Adjusted blood hematocrit and glucose level by utilizing
pipettes to add glucose solution into test tubes, then placing it into
centrifuge to separate plasma for Yellow Spring Instrument (YSI) reading.
Assigned calibration codes to test strip lots, by using a blood glucose
analyzer to ensure blood calibration is within specifications. Reviewed
data from testing lots as part of the QA process and data entry. Matched
the batch records to the barcode lot number labels in order to package the
membrane for shipping (Flanging Process). Completed all appropriate Health,
Safety, and Environment practices to meet compliance requirements. Worked
as part of Photometric Meter Manufacturing Group. Packaged material
following a sequence of event procedures (SOE). Certified On the job
Trainer for multiple product lines. Tracked associates training records in
an internal database for legal documentation. Cross-trained individuals for
flexibility across assembly lines. Working in a clean-room manufacturing
environment and Microscope. Maintained tool calibration and removal of out
date equipment from testing floor. Interacted with Technical Support,
Engineers and Quality Assurance Groups for specific experiment involving re-
work.
