Yakub Abdi

I’m a manufacturing operator with hands-on experience supporting automated, PLC-controlled production equipment in regulated cleanroom and vacuum system environments. I take safety and quality seriously, following SOPs, LOTO procedures, and ISO/QSR standards as part of everyday operations.

Currently, I’m working as a Wafer Production Operator while training as a Manufacturing and Automation Technician Trainee. In this role, I monitor equipment operation, respond to alarms, and perform first-level troubleshooting within my operator scope—while also assisting technicians and engineers during equipment startups, shutdowns, and troubleshooting events.

Alongside my work, I’m completing an A.A.S. in Automation Robotics with one semester remaining, strengthening my mechanical, electrical, PLC, and maintenance fundamentals. I focus on documentation and troubleshooting support—recording equipment issues, actions taken, and production data—and I actively contribute to discussions when recurring alarms point to root-cause opportunities.
