EXPERIENCE
1994-2009 APPLIED MATERIALS,
Santa Clara, CA
Senior Manager
Pioneered software and engineering
outsourcing since 1999. Established and championed the success of an
engineering group in Russia. Managed a team of 40 people and over $2M
of outsourcing budget. Achieved consistent cost reduction on the
quarter-to-quarter basis. Achieved a cost reduction of 20% below the
2000 average cost of an outsourced Engineer.
Established the infrastructure and
business process to guarantee IP and technology protection for
outsourced operations. Obtained several US Government export licenses to
transfer technology classified as dual use by the Export Authority
Regulations. Achieved the highest score of 98% during 2008 IP
protection audit.
Established the most knowledgeable
and experienced modeling group in the semiconductor industry capable of
simulating Plasma, CFD, Electromagnetic, Thermal, Stress and Optical
metrology using ANSYS, CFD ACE+, Maxwell 3D and NASTRAN. Delivered
innovation, cost savings and development time reduction for all major
Applied Materials product lines.
Invented a new HSMS multiplexing
algorithm (US Patent 7,571,017) and established and managed
Advance Process Control software group developing iAPC applications
including: R2R close loop control, data collection and processing,
database management, Statistical Process Control, alarm notification.
Invented a Carousel Wafer Transfer
System and Transfer Chamber Cooling Station – an innovative way to
improve throughput and cool down wafers while being transferred to/from
chambers (US Patents 6,575,737; 6,468,353; 5,951,770;
6,287,386). Achieved over 200 wafers per hour throughput.
Invented a multi-computer chamber
control system for RTP applications (US Patent 6,424,880).
Managed the architectural design development and implementation of
the next generation RTP product based on distributed real-time control
using the 100 Hz remote temperature measurement system under VRTX/VxWorks.
The product achieved 80% market share.
Established and managed the software department for Thermal Processes
Organization of Applied Materials since the creation of the division in
1994. Established a software development process to assure high quality
of software releases and maximum customer satisfaction with on-time
delivery. Achieved delivery of major software releases within 1 day of
scheduled target and minor software release within two hours of planned
target. Hired and trained software engineers and managers.
1992-1994 ANDROS, INC.,
Berkeley, CA
Senior Software Engineer
Developed software for real-time DSP for infrared respiratory gas
analyzers (medical applications) using embedded Motorola 68332 CPU.
Developed and implemented algorithms and software for multidimensional
fitting, interpolation and compensation of gas concentrations,
non-linear filters to avoid spikes in signals, PID control loop. (US
Patent 5,464,982).
1991‑1992 PELTON COMPANY, INC.,
Ponca City, OK
Research Scientist
Developed a unique algorithm and software for real-time adaptive control
of seismic vibrators using linear and pseudo-random sweep signals for
68030 processor under OS-9. Developed minimum phase reference pilot for
better performance of seismic vibrators. Performed pilot signal
modeling and processing. Developed Decimated Fast Fourier algorithm for
ultra fast calculations in real-time. Supported Pelton Company’s
business activities and projects in Russia.
1990-1991
MEGATEST SERVICE, Moscow, Russia
Co-founder
Founded the company in September 1990, one month after the USSR
Government allowed for
privately owned companies
in certain industries. Established business operation, formed software
teams, led engineering activities. The company designed, developed,
implemented, and sold software products for geological and geophysical
relational databases using R:BASE and FoxPro.
Company profit margin reached 50%.
1978‑1991
CENTRAL GEOPHYSICAL EXPEDITION, Moscow, Russia
Head of the Department
Grew through the ranks from Junior Engineer to the Head of the
Department. Supervised 35 people. Developed theory, algorithms,
software and GUI under UNIX, MVS, MS-DOS for pattern recognition of
lithological oil and gas traps. Project Led development of the software
for visualization of inverse seismic kinematic problems. Developed
algorithms of decision making for choosing oil well locations based on
Expert Systems, Fuzzy Logic, and Artificial Intelligence methods. |
