Work History

Production Planning and Control Engineer

GLOBALFOUNDRIES
Essex Junction, Vermont
03.2024 - Current
  • Supported production planning across lithography, etch, and assembly operations to reduce cycle time accretion.
  • Collaborate with module engineers to minimize production impacts and support tool/oper qualification.
  • Collaborated with module and manufacturing teams to align QPB initiatives and resolve high and low wafer count issues.
  • Automated repetitive tasks with AI and excel to improve team productivity.
  • Developed AI Flask app in Visual Studio Code to improve run plan efficiency with fab flow shown in Sankey diagram format.
  • Collaborate module, Manufacturing and Flow Team daily to improve RTD choice efficiency, maximize tool throughput, promote OTD and align goals with Fab 9 shareholder objectives.
  • Identified and resolved RTD capacity limits and enhanced PM contributors, including chronic under-diet issues on the Lam OX FV fleet.
  • Adjusted RTD system settings through "boosts" through FOD Editor to reduce idle time downstream and improve decision making.
  • Created and updated standard work for the team, including Flow Team SharePoint training to centralize documentation.
  • Coordinated information exchange and built working relationships with coworkers, manager, modules, and support groups to complete tasks and solve problems.
  • Collaborated with coworkers inside and outside the department to optimize tool throughput, reduce elevated PM frequency, and gather knowledge of module tool diets and special conditions.
  • Communicate fab bottlenecks and resolution strategies twice daily during operations meetings and action plans if needed.
  • Partnered with module and RTD developer to implement RTD rule changes and DP page dashboard to extend Part Number qualification period on PC Etch fleet. This resulted in 20% more yield through tools within the 1st month.
  • Broad general understanding of semiconductor manufacturing equipment & GlobalFoundries' systems in Essex, VT.
