Experience

1. Principal Reliability Engineer

   Lam Research

   Apr 2022 — Present · Fremont, CA, US

   Translated product management reliability goals into appropriate testable targets.•Performed Reliability and availability allocation studies through trade-off studies between MTBF and MTTR.•Identified appropriate stresses that products must pass through HALT testing and created test plans to assess the reliability of semiconductor manufacturing equipment.•Performed statistical data analysis (Weibull, DOE, Regression, and hypothesis testing), Accelerated Life Testing (ALT) and modeling, and risk assessment using JMP and Reliasoft Weibull ++.•Developed reliability performance metrics and led management reviews to review progress against those metrics.•Led accelerated reliability test planning and execution for electrical and electromechanical components resulting in early product qualification and 20% reduction in warranty cost.•Led the failure analysis process with internal and external cross-functional teams for all failures discovered during reliability testing.•Integrated Design for Reliability (DfR) principles and reliability modeling practices (including Fault Tree Analysis, Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis, and Process Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) into the development processes of semiconductor equipment•Built and deployed a sophisticated field reliability data tracking and reliability growth assessment dashboard using Python and SQL, significantly improving real-time data accessibility and decision-making capabilities.
