PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

S3C INC., Sunnyvale, CA * 2007 - 2009
Senior Product Design Engineer
Served as project lead for design of micromechanical packaging systems for new
sensor products by applying advanced material joining, bonding, sealing, die
attach and MEMS technologies. Managed schedules, timelines, qualification plans
and design reviews to communicate project status and readiness.
Developed product assembly processes and documentation, BOM, detailed mechanical
parts and assemblies drawings, and test tooling documentation. Collaborated with
vendors and local machine shops to fabricate parts and assemble tooling for
prototype building.

Key Accomplishments

 * Successfully designed low cost pressure sensor products, assembled
prototypes, and conducted verification testing ahead of schedule.
Senior Manufacturing Engineer
Supported manufacturing processes and led continuous improvement initiatives for
fabrication of industrial and automotive pressure sensors. Procured equipment,
developed fixtures and tooling, and documented manufacturing methods. Produced
BOM, ECN/Deviation change requirements. Generated visual and mechanical
inspection and production documents.
Conducted troubleshooting, root cause failure analysis, and reliability
environmental and endurance testing (mechanical shock, temperature shock,
temperature cycling, humidity, chemical exposure) to determine the useful life of
sensors.
Supervised and trained engineers, technicians and operators. Worked closely with
machine shops and suppliers during tool fabrication to ensure their products met
specifications.

Key Accomplishments

 * Developed and implemented a new manufacturing assembly line for the pressure
sensor product that improved yields and quality.
 * Conceptualized, developed and successfully transferred the complete product
Test system to an offshore facility for high volume production.
 * Acquired and implemented Optical measurement equipment (MVP-150) to improve
quality assurance capability and enhance production quality.
