Engineering position involving manufacturing, quality/reliability, technical writing and/or the resolution of high-visibility customer issues
Quality Assurance involving risk reduction, manufacturing, RMA corrective actions, ISO9000 conformance (Certified ISO9000 Internal Auditor; Handley-Walker) and QS9000/TS16949/AIAG automotive market segments with Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP). All issues subject to 8D & FMEA analysis resulting in both immediate and permanent corrective actions. Over 15 years of successful resolution of automotive customer RMA issues; hands-on failure analysis, inventory containment, documentation and permanent corrective actions.
Reliability & Failure Analysis to deprocess and analyze integrated circuits using microprobe, liquid crystal, SEM, FIB, EDX, package X-Ray, SAM and other techniques. Silicon/package qualifications per MIL-STD-883, AEC-Q100 and JEDEC specifications; burn-in, thermal cycling, biased temperature-humidity bake, 85/85, autoclave, ESD, HALT/HAST and latch-up, as well as application-specific stresses; extensive burn-in hardware design.
Product/Test Engineering on analog, high-voltage DMOS, CMOS non-volatile memory and mixed-signal products involving characterization, test, qualification, failure analysis, statistical yield & parameter analysis and ongoing yield enhancement. Test program generation for characterization, production and reliability testing as well as offshore assembly/test subcontractor interface.
Component Engineering & Supply Chain Management involving component selection, qualification, scheduling & process changes, as well as ISO9000 survey audits, RMA activity and corrective actions. RoHS and WEEE qualification of lead-free semiconductor products based on JEDEC requirements and existing subcontractor data, as well as other ‘green’ environmental specifications.
Technical Writing on semiconductor datasheets, application notes, reliability reports, automotive qualification packages and ISO9000-compliant documents and processes.
