Work History:

Manufacturing Equipment Maintenance Technician, Wolfspeed, Durham, NC., (11/2023-03/2025).

Perform Planned (PM) and Unplanned Maintenance on various automated robotic semiconductor production tools and equipment to keep them in a consistent operational condition in a controlled clean room environment.

PM Maintenance would include regularly scheduled inspections to check calibration, cleaning, lubrication, and routine servicing.

Unplanned Maintenance would include troubleshooting various mechanical, electrical, and pneumatic system problems that would happen due to machine breakdown.

During my time here working at Wolfspeed, I made several extensive contributions to the Technical Writers employed here by assisting them in their efforts to produce official documentation for the tool’s maintenance section of the Wolfspeed website.

Expertise in other areas were frequently requested: Toolbox shadowing and wire management.

Overhaul Technician II, Ontic, Creedmoor, NC., (10/2021-06/2023).

Performing Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) and Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) maintenance on the following equipment:

1)Winch Assemblies. (Expertise requested on the OEM side for the last half of each month to accomplish quotas).

2)Windshield Wiper Assemblies.

For OEM products, the building is from the ground up until a complete assembly is produced, while simultaneously inspecting each part, subassembly, and unit for defects. When the assembly is complete, the unit will be evaluated for operational performance in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications.

For MRO products, the unit comes to us defective, and we perform the necessary maintenance / troubleshooting to fix whatever is broken in the unit while replacing all the defective parts during teardown / buildup. At this point, inspection and testing will be performed on the final assembly to make sure that the rebuilt device will meet the manufacturer's specifications.

To help the team perfect the Operational Standard (OS), I personally developed a list of innovative procedures on the assembly and disassembly of the winch, by request from Quality Assurance (QA). These changes made the process more efficient with less time without compromising the Operational Standard (OS). This list of change proposals was then submitted to the OEM Engineers and QA to make the necessary improvements in the production line.

Maintenance Electrical Technician, AW North Carolina (AWNC), Durham, NC., (07/2021-10/2021).

The FANUC (Fuji Automatic Numerical Control) system was used for the control interface (A.K.A, the Intelligent Human Machine Interface, or iHMI) on a significant percentage of the machines used in the manufacturing process. These interfaces allow users to interact with programmable logic controllers (PLC), servo systems, and motion controls.

Troubleshoot (diagnose), maintain, and repair the automated robotic machines when various problems arise during the manufacturing process and buildup of the automobile transmissions.

Performed Planned Maintenance (PM) activities on each machine as they became due.

Aviation Electrician, AECOM, Naval Air Station (NAS), Norfolk, VA., (12/2010-07/2018).

Troubleshoot and maintain C-2 aircraft both on shore and sea capacities on aircraft carriers (one-year experience).

Troubleshoot, maintain, and modify E-2C aircraft both on shore and sea capacities on aircraft carriers (over seven years’ experience).
