I am a senior supply chain engineer with a strong background in supplier and project management, semiconductor design and characterization, 2D/3D nanomaterials and surface science. I am highly experienced in the many facets of semiconductor design/testing including but not limited to lithography and CMP tool maintenance and troubleshooting, tool fingerprint database maintenance, hardware design and installation, data acquisition and data analysis, authoring technical documents and operating procedures. I am highly experienced with HVM and process transfer. I have 10+ years’ experience leading multiple, concurrent cross functional projects. I enjoy working with difficult people in stressful settings. CORE SKILLS

EXPERIENCE

SR. SUPPLY CHAIN ENGINEER

Intel - Hillsboro, OR 10/2021 - 8/2025

I worked directly with suppliers to make sure their processes, materials, and documents met Intel’s technical and quality standards. I tracked performance, resolved issues quickly, and led improvement or qualification efforts when gaps were found.

● Perform on-site and remote supplier oversight to ensure Intel technical and quality requirements are achieved.

● Develop and implement Supplier Oversight Plans to drive on-time completion of critical document submittals, manufacturing activities, surveillance points, inspections, and tests and ensure vendor compliance with critical requirements.

● Coordinate activities responsible for driving supplier performance including Supply Chain (buyers and category managers), Design Engineering, and Supplier Quality Oversight.

● Actively identify and resolve significant supplier issues, risk, and quality events.

● Drive prompt resolution of issues by coordinating activities, issuing timely communications, and identifying stakeholders to ensure prompt identification of impacted products, disposition of issues, and implementation of corrective action.

● Monitor key supplier performance metrics (On-Time Delivery, Quality issues, etc.) for assigned suppliers to proactively identify performance trends and implement causal analysis, corrective actions, and Supplier Improvement Plans to mitigate issues.

● Evaluate procurement (supplier) risk, soliciting stakeholder input, and leveraging tools and resources to develop security of supply risk mitigation plans.

● Own internal and external (supplier) corrective action requests, performing cause analyses and verifying completion of preventative and corrective actions.

● Perform technical evaluations of new and existing suppliers to assess manufacturing capability, capacity, process controls, compliance with applicable regulations, codes & standards, and associated risks.

● Identify gaps between supplier evaluations and Intel technical / quality requirements and establish a closure plan.

● Lead supplier development and qualification activities for new products, supplier improvement initiatives, and cost reduction efforts. This includes performing supplier development activities to establish or improve suppliers’ manufacturing processes and quality management systems to meet Intel requirements.

● Review and disposition supplier process documents, process capability analysis, measurement system analysis, input to design for manufacturability, etc.

● Support implementation of Value Analysis / Value Engineering, Design for Assembly, and Design for Manufacturing principles during the design process.

● Working directly with suppliers to ensure that experimental materials meet design requirements. SR. INTEGRATION AND YIELD ENGINEER

Intel - Hillsboro, OR 2/2018 - 10/2021

Worked as a nanolithography scanner engineer, supporting product development and sustaining/developing factory tools and processes across all technologies. Recipient of (1) the LTD Lithography Department Divisional Award and (2) D1 Q3'21 Quality Star due to outstanding contributions to both the Litho area and the various factory programs by migration P1274 Nikon fingerprints to ALD for HVM usage.

● Maintaining and troubleshooting scanners, constantly working with vendors to develop solutions to hardware design and installation problems.

● Install and Qual new tools, provide coordination between suppliers, trades and management for all technical and quality issues.

● Design and implement frame structures for better scanner alignment to improve transistor output.

● Implement intelligent lens control to scanners to improve overlay and tool performance.

● Responsible for fingerprint settings across all technologies and HVM transfer.

● Developing and sustaining FE layers .

● Responsible for tool and overlay duty pager coverage across all technologies. RESEARCH ASSISTANT

University of Illinois at Chicago - Chicago, IL 8/2011 - 12/2017 Riken Laboratory - Wako-Shi, Japan 12/2016 - 7/2017 Argonne National Laboratory - Lemont, IL 8/2011 - 12/2017 I developed and ran experiments in graphene growth, surface catalysis, and nanomaterial synthesis, using UHV, STM, and other advanced surface analysis tools. I also maintained and designed instruments, published research from Argonne, and co-managed an EU project that took me across France, Ukraine, and the US.

● Developed new procedures for sputtering and CVD graphene growth on single crystal surfaces under UHV conditions.

● Performed e beam evaporation of various metals onto graphene and metal surfaces.

● Worked as a surface scientist intern at Riken Laboratory located in Wakoshi/Japan. Performed ultra-low temperature surface catalysis reactions on metal/graphene surfaces.

● Single handedly performed maintenance and calibration of various analytical instruments.

● Designed vacuum instruments for continued improvement

● Conducted research with low temperature UHV-STM at Argonne National Laboratory and findings have been published.
