Recently changed role from an individual contributor to technician manager.Manage a team of over 30 process technicians and operators for semiconductor packaging and testing to develop new solid state lighting solutions. Currently responsible for setting goals and objectives for personnel and encouragement of team performance. Responsible for scheduling resources, delegating tasks, managing training requirements, and leading various projects in a proactive role. Ensure delivery of samples and coordinate high volume WIP movement in USA and offshore.
--Actively involved in the development, design, and fabrication of solid state lighting solutions and chips through both individual and team contributions. --Ownership of, and drive to completion, projects related to new product and process development. Projects that involved all aspects of product or process design, development, and sustaining --Now part of the SWAT team for troubleshooting any new process/product related issues across departments with emphasis on package and testing. --Successfully translate small scale prototype processes into high yield/high volume manufacturing processes with emphasis on new product performance and yield monitoring --Interact with teams for off-shore manufacturing and monitor off-shore product health and performance.
--Conduct optical and electrical testing of optoelectronic devices, while working with a team of scientists, engineers, and technicians to develop next generation LED chip technologies and coordinate transfers of these products to production. --Analyze, summarize, and present new product performance and yield data in a clear concise manner for management decisions through use of data analysis/statistical tools. --Work outside the scope of normal job duties and past experience, and have ‘whatever-it-takes’ attitude to manage /complete multiple projects simultaneously and successfully. --Support 24 x 7 development and manufacturing.
