experience
2016–Now KLA-Tencor Milpitas, California
System Design Manager
I lead the team responsible for light source development for KLA-Tencor’s
broadband plasma tools. This is a key enabling technology for the company’s
flagship products. These laser-sustained plasma light sources produce a
plasma hotter than the sun and are incredibly bright UV sources.
• Manage 6 direct reports
• Own and develop the broadband plasma light source roadmap
– Identify and promising options for improving light source output
– Work with vendors to produce experimental components
– Oversee and direct test plans
• Work with Marketing, Applications, Service and Manufacturing to define
light source requirements for new broadband plasma tools and other
product lines that need high power light sources
• Manage key vendors
– Define scope of work for on going development projects
– Engage alternate/backup vendors as needed, to ensure a solid sup-
ply chain
• Support existing platforms
– Work with field personnel to manage and resolve escalations that
arise
– Develop solutions to resolve issues that arise in the field

2. 2011–2016 KLA-Tencor Milpitas, California
Product Development Engineer
Developed extremely high power broadband UV light sources for patterned
wafer inspection.
• Light Source Subsystem Lead for next generation broadband plasma tool.
– Wrote system level requirements document for the entire light source
subsystem
– Managed and directed the design processes where my requirements
were turned into actual designs and implemented.
– Worked closely with optical engineers, mechanical engineers, inter-
nal customers and various vendors to produce a lamp house that
met all design requirements
– Managed schedule and budget from early research phase through
Beta tools
– Managed transition of light source manufacturing from prototype
production to initial low-volume production
• Designed and conducted experiments to develop brighter UV light
sources for tool roadmap
– Hands-on lab work conducting experiments with class 4 lasers
– Detailed analysis of experimental data to measure plasma properties
– Automated measurements of key system parameters by introduction
new tooling and extensive LabView VIs to allow for more comprehen-
sive data collection
• Vendor management
– Worked with multiple lamp vendors to develop more robust lamps
and test prototype lamp designs for future tools
– Characterized and installed laser sustained plasma light sources to
measure UV damage on dielectric coatings at a vendor site in Ger-
many
2007–2010 PACECO CORP. Hayward, California
Design Engineer
At Paceco I worked as a mechanical engineer on projects on or relating to gantry
cranes.
• Produced mechanical calculations and designs for gantry cranes and re-
lated equipment
• Designed and field tested equipment to electrify diesel cranes at the Port
of Long Beach in order to lower emissions and comply with new state
regulations
• Created mechanical fabrication drawings (AutoCAD and SolidWorks)
• Offshore management experience - 10 weeks in Qatar managing the
modification and recommissioning of a container crane and overseeing
over 20 workers.
• Inspected container cranes in the mainland United States, Guam and
Honduras. Compiled detailed reports on the structural status of the equip-
ment, and identified critical areas to be addressed for crane certification
