Experience
Sr Scientist Product Development Engineer
May 2017 — Present
Contributed to design and development of new battery materials and interfaces for next-generation Li- ion batteries.• Extended characterization and process capabilities by procurement, installation, and qualification of new systems. Developed characterization methodologies for novel materials and processes.• Uncovered root causes through detailed characterization and failure analysis on pristine and teardown battery components, enabling corrective and mitigation actions. Coordinated characterization work performed by other teams and external labs.• Implemented various particle analysis techniques to address defect control. Significantly reduced performance critical particle and chemical contaminations through the integration of new equipment and procedures.• Designed and executed experiments to enhance process performance and repeatability of thin film vapor deposition systems. Managed operations, maintenance and safety of plot scale thin film deposition equipment.• Developed algorithms and scripts for automated battery cycling test and electrochemical data analysis.• Designed and implemented Filemaker database applications for capturing cell build details, cycle and electrochemical cell test results, thin film deposition process details and consumables.
