Experience

1. Data Engineer

   Intel

   Oct 2020 — Present · Hillsboro, OR, US

   Led data-driven yield improvement initiatives across advanced technology nodes, identifying and mitigating process and design-related yield limiters using electrical test data, inline defect analysis, and failure diagnostics- Collaborated with cross-functional teams including process integration, product engineering, and design to drive root cause investigations and corrective actions for yield loss- Utilized statistical tools and data-visualization platforms (JMP, Python, SQL, Ideal PRAVDA, Ideal YVAN) to analyze high-volume wafer and die-level data, enabling early detection of systematic defects and process excursions- Designed and deployed yield forecasting models using statistical analysis and predictive modeling to optimize product line performance- Conducted defect characterization and failure analysis using advanced microscopy (SEM, TEM, EDX), scan diagnosis, and layout-aware debug methods to accelerate issue resolution- Supported technology ramp activities by delivering actionable insights during process qualification, pilot production, and volume manufacturing stages- Partnered with design and manufacturing teams to implement Design for Manufacturability (DFM) improvements, reducing critical yield detractors and enhancing line yield stability.
