Objective: A challenging position as a Mechanical Design Engineer
Background Summary
Successful designs of motion assemblies and opto-mechanical assemblies for metrology and semiconductor manufacturing applications
• Strong skills and long experience in the design of machined parts, plastic for injection molding and structural weldments, as well as sheetmetal assemblies for packaging Extensive experience in design for stable and highly repeatable metrology
• Total responsibility for projects including designing, drafting, part fabrication, prototype build, BOM 2035 Autumntree Ct Creation and Release, ECNs and ECOs
• Very well versed in Document Control, ANSI Y 14.5, ANSI/AWS A2.4 and GD&T
• Experience with PDM systems to control models, drawings & documents
• 14 years Solidworks and 4 years AutoCAD experience
• Team Player – work well in interdisciplinary environments
Major Accomplishments
• Designed & carried into production several valuable opto-mechanical projects consisting of moving apertures, filters, mirrors and optical heads under severe space restrictions
• Designed & carried into production a universal interface system (“Integrated Bolts”) to mount specific Optical Heads. The interface system works independently with computer, controller and cooling fans.
• Designed & carried into production a table-top integrated head for wafer defect inspection
• Designed & carried into production an Independent-Remote Power Distribution box provided with Slide/Rotary Mechanisms for ease of maintenance and repair.
• Recently 2 Patents granted for optical and structural design for a concentration Photovoltaic collection system, designed for ease of assembly and reduced cost.
