Experience

• Mechanical Engineer Lam Research · Full-time Oct 2023 – Oct 2026 3 yrs Fremont, CA, USA ● Developed a precision pulley adjustment mechanism for chamber edge rings, improving etch-rate tunability and
  process control.
  
  ● Designed multiple ceramic edge rings made to shape plasma flow and optimize wafer etch uniformity.
  
  ● Designed and validated custom mechanical clamps that resolved persistent leak and particle issues at customer sites.
  
  ● Optimized component layouts and geometries to improve spatial efficiency and serviceability on company products.
  
  ● Led cost-reduction initiatives for consumable components by analyzing wear rates, manufacturing methods, and
  supplier pricing.
  
  ● Produced 3D models, engineering drawings, BOMs, and documentation using NX and Creo.
  
  ● Collaborated with machine shops and suppliers on manufacturability, prototyping, part procurement, and
  design-for-manufacturing improvements.
  
  ● Delivered technical design reviews that aligned cross-functional teams and accelerated project execution.
  
  ● Coordinated with offshore engineering teams to maintain 24/7 project momentum and faster turnaround times.
