My first TTM Technologies role put me inside high-volume PCB manufacturing and set the foundation for the process engineering work I do now in Salem, New Hampshire.

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
Supported DOE, process qualification, validation testing, equipment qualification, and manufacturing-data analysis in a high-volume PCB manufacturing environment.
Improved conductive paste yield by analyzing process data and refining key manufacturing parameters through DOE.
Reduced production risk by qualifying a backup UV-sensitive film process for a single-point-of-failure manufacturing path.
Expanded optical router capacity by qualifying a second machine for production use.
