EXPERIENCE
Life Safety Systems Engineer - Intel Corporation, Hillsboro, OR September 2011 - February 2015
Project Management: Led the collaboration between internal cross-functional organizations, third party vendors, and stakeholders in
support of the delivery of project requirements. Coordinated end-to-end vendor management process, from consolidating responses to
requests for proposals from multiple vendors, through vendor selection, to building business cases to justify project funding requests
and support project financial management. Created schedules and used critical path planning to manage deliverables and drive on-
time, on-budget project delivery while maintaining a high level of quality. Implemented mitigation strategies to minimize or eliminate
project impacts identified through risk and issue management. Created functional acceptance tests to define success criteria and
measure quality of work. Directed a team of technicians to support new construction building start up and new production process
equipment tool testing as well as establish the processes for fire system testing and compliance and emergency medical responses.
Facilities Engineering: Assisted in the design of the new D1X factory and RA4 office buildings. Partnered with local municipal
government (City of Hillsboro officials) to facilitate the approval and sign off of facilities construction plans. Collaborated with the
Hillsboro Fire Department to obtain approval and sign-off on fire related construction items from the Fire Marshall. Coordinated
construction activities between various construction trades, local county and city governments, city Fire Department, and Intel code
officials to ensure compliance to all safety and legal regulations. Collaborated with the Environmental Health & Safety team for OSHA
compliance regarding all Life Safety Systems additions to facilities as well as fabrication tools.
System Ownership: Full system ownership of all Hazardous Production Material (HPM), fire, and liquid leak detection equipment for
the D1D development factory spanning over 1200 processing tools. Responsibilities included the design, installation, programming,
testing, and sustainment of all equipment purposed for life safety inside a "Class 10 Clean Room" environment. Collaborated with
Micro-contamination internal team to ensure all clean room protocols are being met for n ew tool and facility construction activities.
Led the upgrade and conversions of existing production tools in the factory to match the latest Intel manufacturing process point of
reference as well as the demolitions of "end of life" tools.
Safety: Drove an injury free environment safety culture by working with all levels of the factory including upper management,
engineers, contractors, and technicians spanning over 2,500 employees. Provided engineering support during Emergency Response
Team (ERT) HPM and fire-related events and investigations to identify contamination points and execute steps for containment.
Supported the ERT in providing first responder medical support during personnel medical events. Provide d engineering support and
training via safety committees, safety inspections, and Self Safety Assessment Audits ranging from ergonomic injuries to launching
safety programs for hazardous process management throughout the factory such as “Working at Heights: Fall Safety.”, Lock Out Tag
Out (LOTO), Hazcom, Respiratory, Control of Hazardous Energies (CoHe), and self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA)
certifications.
Hardware Test Engineer Co-Op - Cisco Systems, Milpitas, CA January 2011 - September 2011
Cross-functional Testing: Managed and tracked the allocation and progress of edge routing board prototypes across various groups
and functional testing. Compiled test results, analyzed data, and reported findings to designers for following iterations.
Platform Testing: Responsible for firmware programming of newly manufactured ASR9000 Series Aggregation Services routers, as
well as debugging and managing the repair of other boards still in development. Worked on the initial testing of hardware via software
images that run offline diagnostics, configuring the routers to run test traffic through their interfaces. Ensured quality management by
conducting investigations upon individual component failures, requiring consultation with the specific board’s schematic to identify
possible components that may have hindered desired results.
Programming: Automated workflows by developing competency in writing TCL scripting using an "expect" based common testing
environment.
Facilities Engineering Intern - Intel Corporation, Folsom CA June 2008 - September 2008
Schematic & Statistical Analysis: Responsible for a pilot project involving lab utilization and systems management. Developed
familiarity with and leveraged AutoCAD schematics of plant in order to assess and maintain an up-to-date electrical layout within the
plant. Conducted testing and analyses of power lines supplying energy to labs and test floors, evaluating test results in order to calculate
the utilization efficiency of each lab and test floor at plant. Realized a large cost savings for Intel by identifying underutilized electrical
capacity in some areas of the plant, recouping, and reallocating that capacity where needed.
Database Technician - California Department of Food & Agriculture, Anaheim, CA July 2007 - December 2010
Database Management: Learned, created, and maintained a network database called Paradox, used for filing and storing data on lab
samples. Upgraded the database from Paradox to Microsoft Access for more robust and complex functionality.
