18 years of professional experience in the electronic manufacturing engineering environment, test system design, project coordinating, functional test, process control and Failure Analysis with the most advanced products of BlackBerry, Sun Micro Systems, Cisco, Lucent, IBM, Honeywell, Nortel and Avaya, including NPI preparation, high volume manufacturing, design and build test system solutions, process flow, RCCA and RCA As a team, developed and introduced the automated board level test (JOT Automation), that reduced the test time, scrap PCBs and board handling time, and increase the efficiency by 28% . Negotiate many design changes during the DFT (Design for Test) for the BlackBerry 9982 in order to utilize generic test stations, results in saving 70% of the test budget approved originally to the test project by senior management. Developed complete test solution for many BlackBerry models, 9350, 9620, Q5, 9982 Introduced and qualified lower cost test equipment helped in saving 4% of the total station BOM cost. Experienced in the Spectrum Analyzer, audio analyzer, Network Analyzer, power meters, spectrometer, RF sniffers, ICT and IC programming tools. Excellent analytical and troubleshooting skills, achieving exceptional results in a challenging and exciting environment through the use of strong communication, engineering skills, managing priorities, problem-solving and critical decision-making. Strong knowledge using Engineering tools like Zuken(schematic design), M.S.Visio, M.S.Projects, M.S.Office, and productivity tools like MKS, CRM, Matrix and JIRA, with hands on experience working with Unix, C language and Labview/Teststand. Interfaces knowledge such as USB protocol, RS232, I²C, GPIB and Ethernet.
Responsible for developing test project strategy, planning and scheduling test replication, execution and delivery for both low volume (NPI) and mass build. Plan, organize, lead, subcontract, RFQ, prepare weekly KPI, grant approvals, manage cost, test capacity model, milestones, priorities and schedule changes, monitor the activities of the project team, while maintaining overall control of the schedule and the expected deliverables. Resolving discrepancies, maintaining open communication among all stakeholders Developing support strategy during the execution of the project. Manage the deployment, delivery, distribution and calibration of the test equipment across all contract manufacturing (EMS) to insure the non-interrupted operation flow.
Design and develop complete high quality, high volume, low cost, flexible and easy to replicate test solution to test Blackberry product transducers such as RF transceivers and PAs (conducted and near field radiated), EMC, NFC, light sensors, audio ports and device power consumption. Schematics design and wiring diagrams for test systems, manage test station BOM and spare parts list, coordinate between product design team and software developers on the test implementation and the delivery date of the test solution. Liaising between program management, mfg leads and contract manufacturing around the world to debug issues, Analyze failure root cause and provide a corrective and preventive actions, Update Engineering Change Notice (ECN), propose test time reduction, analyze GR&R, developing training plan and documentation prior to the ramp date. Manage and coordinate work between the test developers and test integration on due dates, Matrix releases, last minute design changes and supporting the post deployed test solutions. Travel to EMS sites to train the support engineers and support the Run@Rate, NPI and ramp builds. Hold design reviews, design for test (DFT) sessions, participate in DFx sessions and the weekly test & failure analysis meeting to provide containment and corrective actions, assign actions and follow up with tasks execution to close them within the due date. Submit reports and escalate through the proper channels to re-align late projects to the original schedule plan. Experienced in QMS (Quality Management System - 8D, KPI, RCCA/RCA), FMEA and Failure Analysis reports.
Managed and supervised a team of test and failure analysis technicians to effectively analyze and diagnose failing PCBs. Responsible for production priorities, test utilization, quality and process improvements. Worked closely with manufacturing managers, test engineers and planners to meet customer needs for daily product output, by maintaining a daily WIP count of all product inventories, manage issues and escalations to streamline the flow. Analyze and investigate the reason of test failures by using special software, diagnostic tools and other electronic devices (DMM, Signal Generator, Spectrum Analyzer and oscilloscope). Responsible for training employees across 4 working shifts for optimum skill development, through training schedule and certification programs specially prepared for Celestica employees. Responsible for showcasing, 5S ready, adhere to 5S initiatives, and ISO policies. Ensure productive and informative crossover meeting between shifts was conducted. Recipient of the Celestica Team Player Award for heading Sun Microsystem team in completing the transfer to Mexico and succeeding a WIP and RIP count of zero at quarter end
