Summary

Thirty years of experience in assembling small components in the disc drive industry. My duties ranged from soldering under a microscope to assembly and testing of components.
After fifteen years of dedicated service i was selected to join an Engineering Development Team, where my experience and knowledge would effectively advance the company goals.
Fifteen years of experience working with the Engineering Development Team, in a Process Development Lab. In a fast paced environment, I assisted in the development of prototype and new technology design. Provided design support by testing new concepts on Computer Controlled Diamond Abrasive Lapping and Polishing Systems, Chemical Cleaning Systems and Electronic Testing and Measuring Equipment. As a trusted member of the team, I was allowed to be independent and to work with minimal supervision.  My role would change from job to job at a moment’s notice to meet the emerging needs of the research team. I am adept at working in constant change, developing ideas to support development efforts and in managing frequent dynamic change. I have a strong aptitude for understanding and applying mechanical design methodologies.
