Summary

Electronics Engineer with a Decade of Experience in the Semiconductor Industry. I bring 10 years of extensive experience in the semiconductor industry, with a strong background in post-silicon process. My career began with 2 years in Pre-Silicon Design, focusing on Reliability Verification. Following this, I dedicated most of my professional journey to Post-Silicon Manufacturing Validation as a Product Development Engineer. During this time, I excelled as a Test Program integrator, validating key processes such as DPM management and Cold Test Insertion removal. Additionally, I spent almost 2 years modeling microprocessors to streamline chip marketing and customer engagement. This role involved close collaboration with cross-functional teams, including marketing, planning, module owners, and customers, to ensure accurate results even before silicon testing. It allowed me to develop a deeper understanding of customer needs and intra-team dynamics. For the past 3 years, I have worked as a Product Engineer specializing in microcontrollers. This position has significantly strengthened my expertise in areas such as architecture, memory configuration, security, and navigating critical processes and milestones. It has also enhanced my ability to contribute effectively to the development and optimization of products. I am a collaborative team player with strong analytical skills and a dedicated work ethic. I am currently seeking growth opportunities in leadership roles where I can leverage not only my technical expertise but also the skills I have gained from my MBA. My long-term goal is to contribute to organizational success by leading initiatives that align the company’s mission and vision with engineering teams and customer expectations. I am passionate about creating, developing, and improving processes to drive innovation and value.
