At TTM Technologies I got exposure to how manufacturing engineering decisions affect reliability, throughput, and production risk inside a real PCB environment.

Optical router qualification
Optical router I helped qualify for production use.
Design of experiments
Machine used in the DOE I ran to refine parameters for a new conductive paste manufacturing process.
UV-sensitive film qualification
Laser direct imaging (LDI) machine used during the UV-sensitive film qualification work I supported for production implementation, helping reduce reliance on a single-point-failure process.
What I worked on
Shadowed process engineers across both mechanical and chemical stages of board manufacturing.
Ran design-of-experiments work to improve a new conductive paste process.
Qualified new film and router equipment for production to reduce dependence on older equipment.
