Mechanical Engineer - Technology Development | October 2021 - Current
Lead a cross-functional team developing high-temperature thermal flow sensors and compatible valve technology for semiconductor mass flow controllers (MFCs).
Developed a precision Rate of Rise (ROR) flow metrology standard achieving better than <0.25%R accuracy and <0.05%R precision at 99% (3σ) confidence.
Designed and iterated custom test fixturing using SolidWorks, 3D printing, milling and lathing; improving experimental throughput and stability.
Collaborated with FEA/Simulation Engineers to validate sensor and valve designs.
Authored detailed test procedures, reports, and performance documentation for internal use
Filed two patents (pending).
Built and supported lab test systems to characterize Laminar Flow Elements, and gas-specific flow behavior.
Designed flow test procedures for Alpha/Beta MFCs to evaluate repeatability, linearity, and stability.
Coordinated with Product Marketing and Sales teams to define new product/component performance requirements.
Assisted in transitioning R&D concepts into manufacturable designs using DFM principles and GD&T.
Supported lab testing by developing multiple test stands and procedures for ongoing technology development projects.
Characterized Laminar Flow Elements and five common customer gasses & three common carrier gasses.
Re-organized the R&D lab for better workflow.
Managed R&D Lab metrology equipment.
