Experience

This role’s purpose was the expansion of manufacturing capabilities and focusing of processes into
designated areas alongside the increasing of plant efficiency at multiple semiconductor fabrication
sites. This effort included a wide array of tasks such as:

• Creating acceptance criteria documentation for the purchasing of new equipment
• Performing installation of both new and old equipment: including the coordination with vendors
• Developing particle control methods for specific equipment types
• Modification of existing equipment to fit the changes in needs by the product introduction team
• Technical documentation creation for technicians and operators
• Updating of documentation in preparation for ISO9001 audits
• Creating incident reports and formatting ICARs as a response to unexpected lapses in safety &
  production
• Root cause analysis and troubleshooting for electrical and mechanical issues on equipment
• Performing purchase requests and purchase orders through SAP and Oracle
• 24/7 availability for response to chemical-related incidents onsite

This job was during my final year of engineering education as a nightshift maintenance staff member
with little to no oversight and the explicit goal of expanding operations. To do this, the tasks of
relevance were:

• Inspection of 3D builds and documentation of the failure modes associated with product
• Treatment/reprocessing of various powder materials for product development
• Preventative maintenance of MJF and SLS based equipment

This internship was focused on understanding the regulatory side of the construction materials industry.
Outside of daily testing and observation of the behavior of various concrete, asphalt, and metal
samples, this role included:

• Organizing data from previous audits and testing
• Writing procedures for materials testing
• Performing site checks for completed construction projects

This work-study was an opportunity to learn more about the research side of the construction materials industry. During the hours worked, the focus was on:

• Casting of composite concrete samples
• Equipment testing to ensure AASHTO standards were met
• Setup of various testing apparatus with heavy equipment for large scale material testing

This was a research opportunity with the nuclear materials group at North Carolina State University for the express purpose of furthering graduate research and developing an understanding of the metrology equipment available along with test setup.

• Polishing of testing materials
• Performing test setup for burst, corrosion, and tensile testing
• Etching of materials for use in TEM, SEM, and EBSD
