Professional Experience And Accomplishments

INTEL CORPORATION-ATTD-Chandler, Arizona 9/2005–6/2016

Sr Process/Equipment Engineer (5/2014–6/2016)

Developed and sustained multi-chip package cleaning (Deflux) process and equipment to meet quality, reliability, cost, yield, productivity, and manufacturability requirements. Planned and conducted Design of Experiment to fully characterize existing and new Deflux processes, addressing new product introduction readiness and yield loss task force activities.

Saved over $150,000 on installation of a new generation of chip attach links by selecting low cost infrastructure and materials and improved facility layout. Collaborated with cross-functional groups to facilitate the installation.

Realized 20% increase in Deflux tool availability with zero quality issues by upgrading the tool and optimizing process parameters to process multiple types of media with zero assists.

Improved product yield to 99.7% (30% increase) after optimizing airflow requirements.

Managed the procurement, layout, and installation for all equipment and collaterals for the Chip Attach and thermal compressive bonding module.

Engaged with Package Design, Media Design, Manufacturing, Material Development, Platform Integration, Equipment Development, and High Volume Manufacturing (HVM) factories.

Sr Manufacturing Engineer (1/2012–5/2014)

Defined and implemented manufacturing solutions to enable development activities of leading edge technologies while supporting HVM capabilities. Led cross-functional teams to design, develop, and coordinate robust, integrated, and automated systems that improved productivity, manufacturability, predictability, and error-free processing.

Increased space availability by 40%, improved average queue time 30% and increased the availability of ergo carts 50% by adding dedicated racks for assembly modules. Factory dynamics and queue time improved and work in progress (WIP) floor space was reduced.

Boosted processing time 80% after implementing and managing Improvement Tracker, a web-based application that extracted real time data from users to plot daily critical performance indicator reports and eliminated waste as part of a LEAN manufacturing initiative.

Trained and certified manufacturing personnel to be proficient with each Station Controller release.

Designed systems, defined project scopes, and set project schedules to enable solutions that met the needs of key stakeholders in required timeframes.

Met customer requirements to eliminate roadblocks, improve factory velocity, and create a partnership environment, increasing collaboration between Module Engineering and Manufacturing.

Tracked and delivered solutions to optimize factory physics, reduce lots on hold, and avoid low yield issues.

Manufacturing Supervisor (7/2010–1/2012)

Hired, scheduled, and supervised 21 manufacturing technicians in two assembly areas. Assessed personnel and material levels to establish daily goals. Oversaw personnel safety, quality record accuracy, and technician development plans. Ensured all specs, BKM, and escalation procedures were followed.

Cut over-processing of defective units to zero from 15% by championing critical inspection procedure.

Continuously monitored workflow in progress through the facility using automated systems.

Coordinated multiple functions within the facility, establishing strategic plans to ensure production schedules complied with established quality and cost objectives.

Generated reports on attainment of safety, quality, waste elimination, and delivery schedules and objectives.

Process Finish Module Engineer (7/2008–7/2010)

Supported Finish module engineering development projects including auto final inspection, cold chamber, pack, and material handling system operations. Owned the automated visual inspection qualification and tool matching for Micro LGA Pin package revenue products. Managed new product introduction and module readiness.

Achieved 20% tool availability improvement and cut 10% manufacturing resources by eliminating wasteful process monitors and implementing critical checks on production recipes.

Captured over $55,000 annual savings, earning the Lean Six Sigma Green Belt for executing, delivering, and applying Lean DMAIC methodology.

Controlled data acquisition support for the module and media qualification for the factory.

Planned and executed data collection, qualification, and release of new generation tray-to-tray transfer tool.

Interacted directly with factory personnel on issues and process readiness for production execution.

BA R&D Engineer (9/2005–7/2008)

Led the development, qualification, and certification of Ball Attach processes for Ultra Small Form Factor (USFF) mobile technologies. Maintained the justification, acquisition and installation of the first HVM BA link.

Designed and executed Ball Attach spec validation and task force activities for USFF CPU and Chipset packages.

Achieved certification of the first USFF in Chandler-ATTD site in record nine months.

Developed standard and non-standard Ball Attach ultra-small pitch processes including Halogen Free water-soluble paste and flux printing and pin dipping.

M/A COM-Lowell, Massachusetts 11/2000–9/2005

Lithography Engineer

Developed and maintained photolithography processes to streamline the efficiency of the fabrication of Integrated Circuits (IC) using Steppers, Coaters/ Developers, SEM, Plasma Cleaning and Film Thickness/Defect tools. Implemented specification procedures for the operation and calibration of photolithography equipment.

Applied Six Sigma methodologies to monitor, control, and improve manufacturing processes.

Collaborated with design and process engineers to integrate new processes and products into manufacturing.
