PCB Process Qualifications

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

Design of experiments

Machine used in the DOE I ran to refine parameters for a new conductive paste manufacturing process.

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.
