At Applied Materials, I work in supplier engineering, supporting supplier audits and SPS activities. I provide attributes for new spare parts and plan improvements to spare-parts data and automation.
Earlier at Applied Materials, I developed a PLC database as a one-stop shop for PLC BOMs. I also supported spare analysis, field escalations, engineering reliability and applications, and customer tool owners working to finalise Best Known Methods.
At KLA Tencor, I worked on bare-wafer metrology and yield-enhancement tools, including mapper qualification for dark Nitride Wafer detection and a vacuum chuck redesign to reduce reclaim wafer breakage. I also handled laser replacement and characterisation and diagnosed robot-handling and drift problems.
At Toshniwal Instruments (India) Ltd., I designed precision assemblies for analytical instruments and helped move prototypes into production. I developed a low-cost UV-Vis spectrophotometer for the Asian market and mechanical designs for a fully automatic atomic absorption spectrophotometer.
