Experience
Sr. Principal Failure Analysis Engineer/Manager of Failure AnalysisII-VI Incorporated | City , STATE08/2017 - Current
- Established materials characterization laboratory for II-VI's 3D sensing (VCSEL epitaxy) and high-power electronics business to reduce and eliminate external vendor expenditure, procure and qualify equipment, collaborate with vendors, hire personnel and supervise operations.
- Currently managing an 8-member team of engineers and technicians, which provides III-V (GaAs, GaN, InP) and other materials (SiC) characterization support to global production and R&D.
- Led a 10+ person team of executives, managers and individual contributors to bring precision-characterization in-house.
- Initiated an internal monitoring system on laboratory operations and status updates for global production & R&D.
- Successfully led a ~20-person team at the executive level for a ~ $5 million business case to expand laboratory into a global analytical hub, with the potential to support all of II-VI's business units and external suppliers.
- Traveled to various II-VI business units (domestic and international) to facilitate influx of material, understand engineering needs and discuss standards for II-VI R&D.
Sr. Materials Analysis R&D Engineer/Failure Analysis EngineerIntel Corporation | City , STATE01/2013 - 08/2017
- Led a team of 5 employees supporting materials characterization and research as interim manager.
- Spearheaded failure and data analysis automation, increasing throughput of characterization laboratory by ~15%.
- Supervised a segment of materials lab operations, supported design of experiments (DOEs) & incorporated statistical process control (SPC), allocated resources and collaborated in start-up and qualification of new equipment in accordance with Intel's “copy-exactly” guidelines to develop new best-known methods (BKMs) for adoption by materials labs in Arizona, Ireland, Israel and China.
Research/Laboratory Operations AssistantAnalytical Instrumentation Facility, NCSU | City , STATE06/2008 - 08/2012
- Served as characterization lead for team of national laboratory scientists and engineers that achieved a highly publicized breakthrough of 200% efficiency increase in Jefferson Lab's Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator (CEBAF).
