Greetings,

I am highly interested in this position. Even though most of work history has been working in Semiconductor Processing and its technology. My first employment involved communicating and customer services in retail.

Since the technology that I worked in for over 36 years has a multiple safety requirements, these are just a few of my transferable skills sets. I can easily adapt. In the role as an Engineering Technician in R&D, I worked at various companies including Signetics, National semiconductor, Hewlett Packard and Analog Devices in an accumulation of very many years. Historically, my main focus on grave shift was as an independent worker required to maintain equipment, maintain workflow and priorities to support engineering requests, for all internal and external customers. I would be present for all daytime meetings and customer interactions. I was able to innovate and improve in Line yields using Focused Ion Beam and various physical reverse engineering skills. My success rate was greater than 85%, plus my effective specialty processes, for one-of- a-kind Component level work is impressive. Details include, using microscopy tools, electronic grade chemicals, CVD [Chemical Vapor Deposition], EDX and ESD [Energy Dispersive X-Ray and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy], RIE [Reactive Ion Etching], and machinery to complete all editing jobs for R/D products, based on physical failure analysis and cross sectional and SEM

[Scanning Electron Microscope] and various FIB [Focused Ion Beam] wafer/die/packaging level physical FA environments.

Even if my skills do not exactly fit, I am adaptable, flexible, and known as the go to person for one-of-a-kind- issues. I have a long history of being the “go to” person for information, ideas on innovations and improvements, creating documentations as needed. My stamina and working under pressure is superior. I believe that I can perform and be an asset for this position and to the company.

I learn fast and can apply past experiences to create throughput time reductions as applicable. My current skill set include packaging in a warehouse environment. Details consist of product shipping details using the latest equipment. Within a short period of time, I learned to increase yields, have high success rates greater than 98%for quality. I have, high quantity output based on packing and shipping inventory. Customer support is additional work to getting the products where they need to be. I am known as a very strong team player and equally having the strength of being an independent worker. My resume highlights my ability/knowledge/expertise in Semiconductor Processing which all includes using Clean Room practices. I am an Intel Corporation "Retiree", active from Sep-25-1995 to Jun-24-2016.

Swing shift failure Analysis Engineering technician was my employment focus. I was responsible for full array of all step to do reverse engineering. In include editing job, safety for chemicals electrical, and machinery. Trouble shot equipment problems for the field service engineering to fix. Create and run various processing to R&D next gen integrated circuits. My ability/knowledge/expertise in Semiconductor Processing which includes using state-of-the-arts clean Room practices I worked in the semiconductor processing industry since 1978. I grew from a lithography align-operator to an Engineering Technician in R&D for Focused Ion Beam and physical Failure Analysis, I have worked at various companies including Hewlett Packard and Analog Devices in an accumulation of 32 years. My experiences allow for rapid adaptations to many environments of work. I am enthusiastic about the position that is available in your company. In the early months of my Intel retirement, I originally was a volunteer assistant for my professor at American River College. For the clothing fabrication class, I was responsible for help the students with their assignments, safety, and proper usage of clothing construction tools. I was directly working one-on-one with student to help them a high level achievement for the course. For the final few weeks, as funds became available, I was hired as a temporary employee which ended with the end of the semester. My focus was on Small metal Art, Studio Art, Design and fashion course work.

I was able to speak to Julia Solis-Webster about myself and the position possibilities. I thank you in advance for your consideration. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions.

Within the Standard Operating Procedures, reduced throughput-time based on my past experiences in R&D processing in a clean room environment. As a MH1 & MH2, working on part of the line that addresses the repaired product to be shipped. There is A) pre-packaging details and B) packing details, and support both areas. The pre- packaging area is something originated in but do as need when there is not enough coverage. Current area is part of the final packing of the repaired item which either goes to the warehouse for storage and other items go directly to the customer. There are procedures within procedures: Once the item has gone through the first and second stages of inspection and imaging, serial numbers of parts and pieces are verified, and the testing application is an additional once more at the station, the testing modules are removed ( all parts by Me)

• Check to make sure all paper, colors, cosmetic attributes as the files states

• Run testing once more

• Verify it’s the correct everything, and remove the test; inter information and scanning to be ready for the next station

• Product goes to the next station

This is the next station is where a protective film is oriented and attached to the product (Me) Clean and free of and particulates or contamination is the criteria for each item b QA for perfection. If not as required, the coating gets removed and another is applied before going to the next station; quality is high and quantity yields approximately 300 to 800 items each night, just for this station.

printed and checked for correct origami folds to go inside the spotless box with the product and its protective cover and closed shut using S/N generated by through scanning and visual matching all details on the internal invoice, At this point, all information and items will not be seen beyond here. Highest details are noted, and strict rules follows. If there is an error, the company’s reputation and customers failure is placed on the handler and the department, and as much as the company. High stress but works well under pressure making sure everything is perfectly packaged for the next steps. The customer will receive a preplacement if the product is not their original item. Bad news for the company, and they do try to plan for every possible condition to have no errors. Did this for a firm year.
