WORK HISTORY
NXP Semiconductors East Fishkill, NY
Engineering Aide 2006 - 2009
Directed all aspects of equipment support for the photolithography equipment. Top performer, deemed with critical skills, providing resourceful troubleshooting abilities. Instrumental in providing equipment and process engineering support. Maintained Microsoft Database (mdb) tool server. Created and/or designed ECNs (engineering changes notices) to improve tool reliability and availability. Documented one-point lessons to eliminate repeated failures. Used 5 why to pinpoint root cause analysis on failures. Key contact for Vendor interface, parts and support.
To alleviate product loss, implemented a flow sensorization EC to have PLCs and sensors installed in the equipment. The savings was substantial considering each event would total about $20,000.
Increased the knowledge base of the techs. by creating troubleshooting, PM and repair documents reducing
the overall MTTR (mean time to repair).
Philips Semiconductors East Fishkill, NY
Sr Equipment Specialist 2001 - 2006
Developed and maintained a dynamic PM (planned maintenance) calendar to utilize available head count and prioritize the work load. Performed audits on low performing tools to identify and resolve throughput limiting factors. Assisted process engineers to match product complexity to equipment capability for higher utilization. Created FMEA (failure mode effective analysis) documents for the capital equipment. TPM (total predictive maintenance) team leader. Installed software upgrades to improve equipment reliability. Received several awards for top performer from CEO.
Traveled to sister plant in Nijmegin, Holland to assess and make recommendations to increase the yield and overall performance of their equipment. They were reaping the benefits of the recommended actions (Excel Spreadsheet) for several years.
Increased tool MTBF (mean time between fails) by recommending design changes to wiring harnesses for motors and robots. Motor life spans were doubled.
Replaced standard IDE hard drives with Flash drives to improve equipment reliability.
Micrus Semiconductors (joint venture with IBM and Cirrus Logic) East Fishkill, NY
Sr Equipment Specialist 1995 - 2001
Demonstrated high quality, results-driven, prompt, and professional customer service and support to instill confidence in technical advice and directions. Managed D1 & D2 shift maintenance activities and provided engineering support for the photolithography equipment. Strategize PM scheduling of all 24 IPS (integrated photo sector) tools. Trained technicians when BKMs (best known methods) were developed. Designed LOTO (lock out tag out) safety procedures for all track equipment. Managed technician training both in house and at vendor locations. Supplied spare parts cost data to optimize annual equipment support budget. Instrumental in the installation of all IPS tools from design layout signoff to production release. In-depth knowledge of electrical, mechanical, software, hardware, pneumatics, plumbing and exhaust.
Designed alarm systems, which prevented thousands of dollars in product loss.
Reduced equipment down time by recommending design changes to vendor products.
Initiated in-house parts replacement procedures one of which saved approximately $30,000 annually.
Purchased spare parts often using second source vendors to save on cost.
EDUCATION
Completed A+ and Network+ training courses at NetCom Information Technology. Plan to take cert. exams in April.
