Lithography first, inspection now — both ends of the same loop. What follows is pitched at the level I can discuss publicly: the systems, the discipline, and what the work actually consists of.
Mechanical Controls Engineer
Control systems for semiconductor inspection tooling — the machines that check what lithography just produced.
Senior Mechatronics Engineer — Reticle Stage, Design & Engineering
Four years on the reticle stage of EUV lithography systems: maintaining and improving the control architecture of the motion stage, and qualifying design changes on test rigs before they reached the field.
Mechatronics Engineer
Mechatronics engineer at the bottling plant of India's second-largest oil refinery — industrial robotics and control system improvements across hardware, firmware and software.
MS, Mechanical Engineering — Controls and Mechatronics
Teaching assistant for a year on a dynamics and controls course, and research assistant in the dynamics and controls lab. Coursework in linear system theory, mechatronics, embedded controls, nonlinear controls and vehicle dynamics.
BTech, Mechanical Engineering
SAE BAJA team captain, SAE collegiate club president, and student chair of the Indian Society for Technical Education.
