Work History

PD Program Manager

Medtronic
  • Established the Tempe Campus PMO, implementing standardized reporting to enhance communication and collaboration with external groups. Developed an escalation procedure for timely management support, ensuring project success and alignment with organizational objectives.
  • Led a cross-functional team to optimize the layout and flow of LINQ II product processes, consolidating operations from 3 buildings into 1 building and relocating 36 pieces of equipment. Delivered the project on time, achieving $2.0M in savings while spending only $0.8K of the $1.2M budget, and notably executed critical equipment moves within 5 days to maintain operational efficiency.
  • Implemented two key projects improving LINQ II yield by 40%, saving $1.7M per month, with one project completing 10 days ahead of schedule.
  • Designed a digital platform using Confluence to streamline operations for tier management meetings, enhancing communication, collaboration, and decision-making processes across the organization.
  • Created a platform for digital ADPs (Annual Deployment Plans) on the campus that rolled up from project level to functional level to site level and automatically dispositioned to the 85% on-time target.
  • Collaborated with quality to streamline Change Impact Forms (CIFs) by establishing a second Change Control Board for Wafer and Sensor Operations and assessing CIFs by tiers, reducing the workload for design and reliability assessors and the number of required approvers.
  • Deployed a system for prioritizing Manufacturing Execution System (MES) configuration changes across the campus, coordinating priorities across departments to optimize shared resources and enhance operational efficiency.

Principal Process Engineer

Medtronic
03.2023 - Current
  • Undertook a 6-month stretch assignment starting in March 2023 to lead the Wafer & Sensor Operations project portfolio, actively managing an average of 15 projects and ensuring adherence to committed milestones.
  • Implemented a new system for weekly milestone previews, enhancing accountability and increasing the on-time milestone completion KPI from 53% to 82% within a month, surpassing the 70% goal.
  • Regularly collaborated with project owners to scope workloads and timelines, providing Quality Management System (QMS) expertise to streamline processes and enable parallel pathways, resulting in two key projects launching one month ahead of schedule.
  • Scoped 28 project proposals for FY24 by gathering project sizing and complexity data, assessing effort and benefit, and selecting projects based on resource availability for the upcoming fiscal year. Eliminated 32% of project list (9 out of 28 proposed projects) that had low value to the portfolio and did not align to strategic objectives.

Sr. Wafer Fab Process Integration Engineer

Medtronic
04.2022 - Current
  • Transformed the change control process as the Change Impact Form (CIF) coordinator by developing a systematic and strategic approach, reducing lead time by over 50% from 38 days to 16 days.
  • Established office hours to train engineers on writing uniform and consistent change notifications, brainstorm effective change release strategies, and provide Agile training.
  • Developed a centralized resource page to track progress of CIFs and outlined the steps required for change control and best practices.
  • Self-taught Spotfire to effectively analyze complex data sets. Created a comprehensive dashboard that analyzed yield by fiscal day for the LINQ II final device area. This tool was utilized by the process team to enhance targeting strategies, leading to improved yield outcomes. Further created dashboards that could quickly identify impacted product from nonconformances for product containment.

Sr. Wafer Fab Process Engineer

Medtronic
12.2020 - 04.2022
  • Applied statistical methods and science-based decision-making to design experiments and implement improvements, authoring multiple engineering technical reports that facilitated root cause identification and closure of three CAPA investigation phases.
  • Served as the lead engineer for enhancing the backfill process, spearheading requirements generation and acting as the primary contact with external vendors for prototype development to drive corrective actions.
  • Demonstrated strong process ownership and expertise in verification and validation within the Quality Management System (QMS), including process characterization and operational performance qualification.
  • Owned and managed two CAPAs simultaneously, collaborating with a diverse engineering team to investigate complex problems, implement solutions, and enhance process improvement. Led technical discussions and utilized project management skills to ensure excellence in CAPA execution and compliance.
  • Demonstrated expertise in quality management systems, ensuring processes and procedures adhere to regulatory compliance.
  • Managed the project for releasing two additional battery bond work cells, each comprising five pieces of equipment, to expand production capacity.

Laser Process Engineer II

Medtronic
01.2020 - 12.2020
  • Provided technical and sustaining engineering support for the laser bond process area, facilitating the release of the novel battery bond process to production using conveyorized laser bonders.
  • Conducted detailed engineering analysis and documentation, leading to the qualification of new fixture revisions that were released ahead of schedule, enhancing process efficiency and operational yield.
  • Managed projects to support production capacity, including equipment relocation, requalification, and the successful launch of a new battery bond work cell comprising of five pieces of equipment.
  • Developed process flows and timelines for work cell releases, ensuring successful adherence to targeted deadlines for future work cells.
