I lead teams, develop processes, and build factory systems that take complex hardware from NPI to high-volume production — across electric motors, lidar, and optics.

↗Building the team and qualifying the processes behind a new PCB-stator motor line.
↗Reworking the fixturing and method to make lens attachment faster and repeatable.
An end-to-end MES, built and deployed across two plants, with one shared database.
↗Leading packaging development and transferring customer programs to mass production.
Business scale describes what each transferred program subsequently became, not personal revenue attribution.
I connect manufacturing strategy with the engineering work that makes a production line perform.
At Infinitum, I lead four engineers across digitalization, process, and manufacturing test, supporting production in the US and Mexico. My work spans the process on the floor and the team that makes it repeatable.
Before electric motors, I worked on lidar sensors, hardware engineering, and optical packaging at Velodyne Lidar, Cisco, and Fabrinet. Across those roles, the throughline has been turning complex engineering into production that holds up.
More about my background ↗Technical depth is most useful when it helps a team make better decisions. Here’s what that looks like.
Connect DFM, pilot builds, process qualification, capacity, and supplier readiness. Give the program clear decisions and exit criteria, not just dates.
Explore the NPI readiness checklist ↗Use serial-level traceability, capability studies, and reaction plans to turn a noisy factory signal into a decision the floor can act on.
Read about the SPC system ↗Question the operation before optimizing it. At Infinitum, eliminating three proven-unnecessary steps reduced assembly time by approximately 12%.
See the process decisions ↗Train, mentor, and document so the process holds across operators, shifts, and continents. A successful transfer keeps working after the visiting engineers leave.
Explore international technology transfer ↗From optical packaging process development to leading engineering teams, NPI programs, and manufacturing systems delivery.
Owning NPI programs, building engineering teams, and shaping manufacturing strategy for PCB-stator electric motors.
Manage four engineers across digitalization, process, and test. Own goals, reviews, and development plans.
Qualify twelve processes for a new motor line and deploy a bilingual MES across US and Mexico plants.
Eliminate three operations, reducing assembly time by approximately 12%, and put critical characteristics under SPC.

Explore the engineering decisions at each level. These are chapters across different products and roles, rather than a single product’s manufacturing route.
Developed adhesive, eutectic, and solder-preform die-attach processes across chip-on-board, chip-on-carrier, and chip-on-wafer, alongside wire bonding.
Process windows, bond integrity, and bonder reliability.
IN PRACTICEWafer tracking connected diode placement to location and triggered an engineering hold below the configured yield limit.
Explore packaging work ↗Developed optical attachment and active-alignment methods, including lens and precision mirror attachment on FiconTEC platforms.
Fixture design, attachment methods, and alignment repeatability.
IN PRACTICEThe Velodyne D-Lens-to-PCBA improvement removed 80 seconds per attachment.
Explore precision assembly ↗Owned and optimized print, place, and reflow steps; addressed recurring solder defects through process changes.
Reflow profiles, process qualification, and defect root cause.
IN PRACTICEAffected QFN assemblies moved to vacuum reflow to resolve persistent solder voiding.
Read the process decisions ↗Co-led two product-line launches, owning process flow, station sequencing, test strategy, and data infrastructure, with equipment scope shared with a peer manager.
Manufacturing readiness, qualification, and cross-functional delivery.
IN PRACTICETwelve processes qualified; three operations removed for approximately 12% less assembly time.
Explore manufacturing leadership ↗Built the business case for an in-house MES and led delivery across two plants with Engineering, Operations, Quality, IT, and Supply Chain.
Execution, genealogy, measurement capture, and SPC reaction plans.
IN PRACTICEBilingual production execution across two plants on one shared database.
