Design Engineer
KLA
- Designed and developed racks and chassis for Semiconductor equipment, ensuring compliance with industry standards, safety regulations, and performance requirements
- Stayed updated on advancements in rack and chassis design, semiconductor technology, and manufacturing processes to identify innovation opportunities
- Collaborated with cross-functional teams, including electrical engineers and product managers, for seamless integration of racks with semiconductor equipment
- Drove the design process from scoping through conceptual development, detailed design, manufacturing drawing release, and testing, applying DFM, DFA, and reliability principles
- Generated production drawings, operational method sheets (OMS), and Bills of Materials (BOM) for product releases and prepared test plans for quality assurance
- Experienced in developing and managing Engineering BOM (EBOM) and Manufacturing BOMs (MBOM) to streamline design and manufacturing processes
- Actively participated in assembly build support and guided field engineers by creating OMS
- Provided mentorship to newer team members, contributing to their professional development and growth
- Managed the CAD lifecycle in PDM, PLM tools like ENOVIA, ensuring data accuracy and version control for parts and assemblies
- Handled design changes per customer requirements and updated Engineering Change Orders (ECOs) to maintain design integrity
- Leveraged PLM software for data management throughout the product lifecycle, monitoring stages from creation to final release
- Directed the end-to-end process of ECOs and Engineering Change Requests (ECRs), Engineering Change Management overseeing creation, review, approval, and implementation
- Utilized ENOVIA for comprehensive tracking of changes, ensuring accurate documentation and stakeholder access
- Successfully executed over 100 ECOs and ECRs, facilitating FTR training sessions and spearheading redesign projects while enhancing overall process quality
- Skilled in creating and managing Part Change Notices (PCNs) within technical documentation to ensure accurate and up-to-date records of design modifications and component changes.
