At First Solar, I lead 4–8 engineers and technical personnel during shift execution, setting priorities, allocating resources, and providing technical direction across production operations. I coordinate engineering trials, sample execution, and data collection for process and development decisions.
As a Manufacturing Engineer II at First Solar, I led 8D and 5-Why investigations that reduced unplanned downtime by 17% and drove corrective actions across three global sites. I also implemented preventive maintenance across 15 laser tools, improving OEE by 8%.
At Youngstown State University, I designed and built an embedded data-acquisition system using a TI Tiva C microcontroller and BME688 sensor. I also conducted thin-film CdTe photovoltaic research and presented findings at academic conferences.
At Pawan Solar and Electronics, I led a team delivering a 10 kW rural solar deployment. Earlier, as an RF Drive Test Engineer at Huawei Technologies, I improved network performance across 800+ operator sites and redesigned test verification to reduce resource consumption by 65%.
