What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a role in hardware development where I can work independently on complex projects.

At Infineon, I lead projects and design chips for next-generation IGBTs, alongside work on SiC MOSFETs and Si diodes for renewable energy applications. I hold IPMA Level C certification.

At Bosch, I supported the technology and release of automotive semiconductor ASIC products with internal and external fabs. Before that, at Apple Inc., I helped resolve manufacturing issues for VCSELs on iPhone X, enabling timely production at high yield and a successful product release.

At Apple Inc., I also worked on µLED, OLED, and VCSEL technologies. I planned and executed III-V fabrication processing and contributed to work that helped bring µLED closer to mass production.

Earlier, at Intel, I used TCAD and analytical techniques to debug chip design failures and support front-end and back-end technology development. At AMD/Globalfoundries, I led the spacer module and co-authored two patents on spacer manufacturing and characterization.
