About Akanksha Sagar
I’m a Hardware Development Engineer with 5+ years of experience I love tackling complex problems and finding creative solutions in semiconductor and memory manufacturing. Whether it’s optimizing 40+ Dry Etch & Ion scan operations or designing graphene-based sensors, I approach every challenge with curiosity, a collaborative mindset, and a bit of fun.I’ve had some cool wins, like developing a Gen AI + ML model to automate wafer disposition (and snagging 3rd place in a hackathon!) and turning 7step processes into just 4 while increasing the yield to 99%Beyond the numbers, I enjoy working with great teams, learning new things, and making technology better one step at a time. Let’s connect and build something awesome together!
