• As the first person to join the AMAT India CAE group, I built a strong team of 15 members for structural and thermal modeling.
• Established appropriate review mechanisms and workflow for efficient and effective execution, offering high-quality design solutions.
• Developed strategic plans for the team to continuously improve, and implement competitive modeling strategies.
• Developed several new capabilities, BKMs, and automations for an enhanced modeling experience and more accurate predictions.
• Developed easy-to-use simulation apps for the designers as part of the Democratization initiative. Mentored the team to develop many such apps from their modeling projects.
• Closely worked with product teams in modeling fab equipment behavior for PVD, CVD, PECVD, Etch and ALD.
• Worked on wafer bow correction models using multi-zone chucking and advanced ion implantation stress models.
• Extensively worked on wafer-level thin film modeling to address Chip packaging Interconnect failures, RDL delamination, Gap-fill cracking, and Coating delamination issues.

• Worked on a wide range of products (Engine/Powertrain, Wind Gearbox, Turbochargers, Trucks, Alternators, Motors).
• Six Sigma Green Belt (DFSS) Certified.
• Mentored junior engineers on best practices and technical skills in engineering projects.
• Coordinated training sessions on FEA, Solid Mechanics, and Products for the team.

• Managed a team of 10 members. Increased the productivity of the team by 20%.
• Established review mechanisms and analysis templates to enhance quality.
