My day starts with a morning passdown from night shift—reviewing tool issues, performance data, and setting priorities for manufacturing. I coordinate with process engineers on monitoring needs and production recipes, then split time between the fab and desk work: supporting maintenance, running tests, or working on projects. In the afternoon, I may work with vendors to source parts or collect data on tool performance. The day ends with an evening passdown, ensuring the next shift is set up for success.

Skills That Matter

• Learning agility – ask questions, take notes, improve quickly

• Communication – align across teams in a complex system

• Integrity – do things the right way, even under pressure

Project Examples
