WORK EXPERIENCE
Semtech Canada Corporation Gennum Product Group in Burlington, Ontario (2007 – 2015)
Senior Staff Manufacturing Product Engineer
Implemented and maintained Manufacturing and Product Documentation: Manufacturing Process Instructions, work instructions, lot travelers, process flow diagrams, procedures, datasheet, BOM, cost.
Served as the main technical contact point for all manufacturing engineering matters
For existing and new products, analyzed the costs, materials and labor requirements and as well, issue Engineering Change Requests, modified tooling, layouts (to improve capacity load of product) and material handling to constantly improve the manufacturing process.
Applied continuous improvement methods such as lean manufacturing to improve manufacturing quality, repeatability and cost-effectiveness.
Identified opportunities and implemented changes to improve product quality or reduced costs using knowledge of fabrication processes, tooling and production equipment, quality control standards, product design, materials and parts. Achieved more than one million dollars savings for the company through the improvements and cost reductions
Developed, evaluated, improved, and documented manufacturing processes by studying product requirements; successfully supported prototype build, transferred and qualified products and process in subcontractors
Led various top profile projects from issue resolution to product and tester qualification across functional teams, received top CEO awards for outstanding results
Led and successfully delivered a 2 year test transfer project to Asia involving 5 phases including qualifying of new sub-contractor and testers.
Investigated and resolved operational problems, such as material use variances or bottlenecks and prepared reports summarizing information or trends related to manufacturing performance. Dispositioned NCR as per timeline despite many challenging issues; successfully supported production and avoided disruptions
Improved manufacturing efficiency by analyzing and planning work flow, daily throughput data and time studies. Increased and maintained high efficiency levels
Assisted in setting up preventative/predictive maintenance requirements by working with equipment engineer
Understood product applications and drove resolution through failure analysis, root cause investigations and corrective actions for customer returns; successfully resolved difficult issues that satisfied the customer and boosted new sales. Significant experience with RMA process
Managed product cost and consistently met cost reduction objectives that led to high profit margin year over year
Interfaced with NPI engineers by reviewing and influencing DFM and DFT for new products, made new products more robust to test hardware conditions that resulted in more consistent production performance.
Supervised and mentored interns to ensure clear knowledge transfer and understanding of performance expectations
Assumed responsibility of Sr. Manager duty during his absence.
Hewlett-Packard (Pte.) Ltd., Singapore 2002 – 2007
Senior Engineer, Semiconductor Wafer Fab Process Integration and Test (2005-2007)
Liaised with downstream customers for product quality issues and established corrective actions
Led product and process issue resolution across multi-function departments, including line down crisis; while mitigating significant damage to the company business
Led new products and design introduction and major issue mitigations such as clean room defectivity reduction that boosted product yield to a higher level
Led product and process transfers from HQ division to local wafer fab, successfully transferred new TIJ product with better yield performance
Involved in new product development from IC design, feasibility study to market release
Improved wafer electrical test yield through low yield analysis and failure mode identification
Reduced defect density and achieved process optimization by collaborating with various process owners
Developed parametric tests from test plan to final production release and production support
Process Engineer, Wafer Fab Photolithography and Etch Process (2002 -2004)
Improved photolithography and etch process through Design of Experiment, sustained and set up new process
Generated and maintained operator instructions, set-up instructions and re-work instructions; provided training to operators
Ensured productivity improvement through process and equipment optimization
Ensured capacity readiness to meet production volume requirements
Liaised with vendors to solve process issues, improved tool performance and new tool inventions
Improved Cpk, yield, cycle time, wafer scrap and cost by using engineering tools such as SPC, DOE, FMEA
