Process, Quality Engineering Lead/Manager | 12/2013 - 04/2015

Managed the performance of several engineers and support employees, controlled budgets, and ensured the continual maintenance, process improvements and efficient operations of process engineering team for laser scribing, dielectric printing, silver printing, failure analysis, metrology, documentation, reliability, visual inspection and factory yields. I led the Patterning Cell to dramatic yield improvements that raised silver screen print, dielectric printing and laser scribing yields from < 50% to over 95%. Process improvements for the dielectric print step involved redesigning the vision system, print head movement and electrical signal isolation. The dielectric print step tooling modification projects reduced maintenance cost by > $200,00 a year plus improved tool accuracy and step yield. Additionally, I replaced the ink-jet printing system with a dielectric paste screen print process that entailed co-developing an acceptable dielectric paste and modifying a retired production t

Materials Development Engineer/Chemist | 05/2006 - 11/2011

Developed, scaled and supported polymeric, hybrid and inorganic materials for use in commercial print industry. Partnered with mechanical engineering team to solve technical problems at the root cause using innovative engineering methods and implement materials science solutions to enable lifespan and quality requirements. Worked with external vendors to scale processes from bench top to volume manufacturing including quality systems and SPC. • Lead team tasked with reengineering a new printer paper path roller that ultimately reduced cost by 25%, increased lifespan by a factor of 10 and was completed ahead of schedule o Reengineering steps included working with customers and marketing, troubleshooting/failure analysis, developing technical specifications, scaling to production along with implementing a quality plan • Formulated new iconic/carbon black conductive polyurethane elastomeric roller
