Overview

As a Mechanical/Manufacturing Engineering Intern at GlobalFoundries, I worked on high-precision semiconductor manufacturing systems, focusing on improving efficiency, reliability, and sustainability in wafer cleaning and automation processes. My role combined mechanical engineering, process optimization, and data-driven decision-making to deliver measurable improvements across production lines.

Key Contributions

• Process Optimization: Improved manufacturing efficiency and reduced tool downtime by 11% through root cause analysis (RCA), statistical process control (SPC), and workflow optimization.

• Data-Driven Tools: Designed and deployed a real-time process monitoring dashboard for wafer cleaning systems, reducing chemical waste by 20,000 L and saving $130,000 annually in operating costs.

• Reliability Engineering: Conducted failure analysis, defect mapping, and corrective actions that enhanced yield and process stability across complex automation systems.

• Hands-On Testing: Performed mechanical and electromechanical integration testing and diagnostics to ensure equipment reliability and minimize disruptions.

Impact & Recognition

My work directly strengthened manufacturing efficiency, sustainability, and cost savings in one of the world’s most advanced semiconductor fabs. These contributions were formally recognized through the Global Recognition Program Award for outstanding execution and measurable impact.
