IMMERSION TECHNOLOGIES, San Jose CA, USA 2003
CAD Peripherals Beta Test Engineer
Tested virtual reality peripherals, and their interaction in CATIA V5.11 and V5.10 environments.
Created parts and assemblies drawings in CATIA V5.10 and V5.11.
Tested assemblies and parts interactions in relation to virtual reality peripherals.
Communicated the viability and the problems with the peripherals to the designers.
APPLIED MATERIALS, San Jose CA, USA 2000-2003
Mechanical Engineer III GPS/Sustained Eng./Rapid Response Eng.
Provided mechanical solutions to global field problems for Rapid Thermal Processing (RTP). Worked on creation of solutions for global problems within international and interdisciplinary teams. All of the projects were completed under budget and under time. Examples include
Increased lifetime of the process parameters oxygen sensor on the RTP system 8 times, with an estimated increase in revenue of $10 million.
Resolved monthly breakages of the quartz window
Window breakages resolved through detailed tolerance calculations of quartz window breakages, using stress calculations, revising the drawings and redesigning the window and its holder.
Used hand calculations to disprove a FEA model that had been used in the design of the initial window.
Created machinists blue for high temperature (up to 600C) semiconductor applications to determine the problems of tolerance between quartz and metals.
Redesigned a heater neck so that the heater would not break due to thermal cycling.
Created a check valve to stop the explosion of pumps due to Silane deposits in exhaust streams.
Created and implemented all solutions by creating ECOs including part numbers and BOMs
SAN JOSE STATE UNIVERSITY, San Jose CA, USA 1996-2000
Lab Instructor and Technician
Instructed classes and trained instructors in the use, operation and theory of semiconductor equipment. Maintained all machines used in lab.
Instructed one day, three day and full semester classes. Rated best lab instructor.
Class covered CVD, PVD, RTP, ion implant, photolithography, etch, LCDs pumps, 4 point probe profilomitor, and nanometrics.
Operated, rebuild and maintained Evaporator, Plasma Etcher, Spinners, Scrubber, Fume hoods, and linear flow hoods. No equipment problems while I maintained them.
BMW Munich, Germany 1999
R&D Design Intern
Provided long term solutions in parameterization, a method to automate engineering
Developed, wrote company policy and solved problems on parameterization.
Wrote and translated patents and company policy in German and English.
Designed, detailed and parameterized 3 double clamp fixture (welded and modular)
Optimized 3 BMW Shuttles and gluing machines for parameterization.
