Experience
MECHANICAL DESIGN CONSULTANT 9/2020 to Present
Facebook Oculus – Menlo Park, CA
• Leading development of metrology equipment with vendors. Communicating system performance requirements to mechanical design specifications
• Drive HW and SW integration of fixtures to ensure performance requirements are met for different use cases; equipment design for research application versus design for production environment.
• Precision design of metrology machines for VR optical elements
MECHANICAL DESIGN ENGINEER 12/2018 to 9/2020
KLA - Milpitas, CA
• Built encoder data filter using Python Scipy library to visualize vibrations data of machines
• Solved QA bottlenecks using Python and physics knowledge of electromechanical systems, saving 2 weeks of manufacturing cycle time per build cycle (equivalent of ~$150,000 per build cycle)
• Precision design of machines for semiconductor inspection equipment and camera alignment systems
SYSTEMS ENGINEER, ROBOTICS 08/2016 to 12/2018
KLA - Milpitas, CA
• Systems engineer for metrology and semiconductor automation equipment
