Manufacturing Engineer
2023
- Owned the product realization of the Form 4 backlight module
- Managed schedule and technical readiness from quote packet creation through pre-production builds to MP ramp for backlight module
- Designed, built, and tested three fixtures for in-line and end of line optical testing
- Pushed for design convergence to the operations schedule while anticipating and reacting to design changes
- Championed burn-in and reliability testing requirements cross functionally with EE and data science
- Collaborated with the sustaining engineering team to investigate and review data to respond to early lifetime failures on galvos
- Communicated progress to engineering leadership, managed manufacturing risks, collaborated across disciplines (EE, MechE, optics) to troubleshoot functional issues
- F3L tank V3 87% to 91% print success while increasing yields from 90% to >99%
- Supported second sourcing and Vietnam mold transition cost downs for F3 resin tanks
2022
- Owned the sustained production of eight product lines produced by a CM building 20 million dollars of annual production in collaboration with a MFG program manager and two APAC engineers
- Managed an intern and advised on her projects for internal change tracking dashboard, measurement jig development & verification, and test fixture duplication & validation
- Created a live updating commodities usage tracking dashboard to allow demand planning team to improve forecasting tier two supplier optics demand based on current usage rates
- Initiated a process to consistently reporting of ECO implementation across our two primary CMs
- Spearheaded a F3L tank yield improvement project resulting in 700k in annual scrap cost savings
- Supported initial operational tasks for next generation optical modules including RFQ packet creation, manufacturable risk identification and assessment of technical capabilities of potential CMs
EOY promotion to Manufacturing Engineer II
