Mechanical engineer pursuing an M.S. at UCLA with experience in mechanical design, robotics, manufacturing, testing, and data analysis. My background includes high-volume semiconductor process engineering at Intel, where I supported advanced metrology and process control for wafer-level packaging, as well as hands-on engineering projects in Baja SAE and robotics. I enjoy building real hardware, solving complex technical problems, and working at the intersection of design, analysis, and manufacturing. I am especially interested in roles involving mechanical design, product development, robotics, and advanced manufacturing.
Final Integration & Testing
Metrology Defect Inspection shift engineer owning and operating advanced metrology tools to support defect and dimensional inspection for hybrid bonding packaging processes within Intel Foundry operations. Manage a fleet of 20+ measurement systems, ensuring 100% in-line sampling coverage using techniques including atomic force microscopy (AFM), confocal scanning acoustic microscopy (CSAM), ellipsometry, spectroscopy, and other optical metrology methods. Develop, deploy, and troubleshoot Process-of-Record (POR) metrology recipes for new product introductions (NPIs), a standard measurement procedure that is used for a specific process and task within the packaging flow, enabling tools to precisely defect detection and dimensional analysis at critical wafer sites. Collaborate with integration and process engineers on process pathfinding and tool management strategies to improve lot quality, tool uptime, and lot movement. Perform statistical process control (SPC) and experimental data analysis to monitor wafer progression and tool health, utilizing SQL, Python, and Excel to enhance data automation, visualization, and decision-making.
Supported an undergraduate mechanical engineering course focused on mechanisms and mechanical system fundamentals through grading, exam proctoring, and student academic assistance. Evaluated assignments and exams with accuracy and consistency while maintaining timely feedback. Resolved student questions related to grading and reinforced understanding of core concepts such as kinematics, mechanism behavior, and mechanical system analysis. Helped maintain an organized and professional testing environment during exams.
Design and build a functional, movie-accurate WALL-E robotic platform capable of locomotion and trash collection. Utilize Solidworks CAD to design robot arm structures, joints, and actuation systems along with the compactor unit inside the chassis, from the structure to the shredder blades. Fabricated structural and mechanical components of the arms and compactor using waterjet, mills, lathes, and 3D printing. Integrated mechanical, electrical, and software subsystems into a working robotic platform. Developed MATLAB models for arm kinematics and workspace analysis to guide mechanical design decisions. Programmed motor control algorithms to actuate the arm and compactor mechanisms. Conducted system testing and debugging to improve reliability of the robotic platform.
