Cisco Systems, San Jose, CA 2006-1016

ELECTRICAL PRODUCT ENGINEER/NPI ENGINEER 2010 – 2016

Support the development of new products by leading the manufacturing effort to define and drive design for manufacturing and test (DFM and DFT) with the goal of reducing the assembly and test time, and increasing the overall product quality.

Work with the Design Engineers, fab houses, and CMs to review and resolve issues on the designs prior to fab out the boards, closed the issues in less than 3 days prior to fab out the boards.

Review with buyers for cost avoidance efforts during the development process; Save $0.5 million per year on working with FAB vendor to redesign PCB’s panelization to maximizing raw material usage.

Manages technical changes to existing products through the ECO (engineering change order) process.

Provide hardware debug mentorship to contract manufacturing test engineers and debug technicians. Ensures that Manufacturing receives the required level of product training.

Analyze and drive all DFx requirements and items to closure throughout the product life cycle in order to reduce end to end costs for multi-million dollars and manufacturing cycle times.

Work with the design and manufacturing teams of vendors to drive a successful transition of the product from design phase to mass production phase for ODM projects. MANUFACTURING TEST ENGINEER 2006-2010
