I need resume help, I have 9yrs experience as an Engineering Technician with No Degree. Thank you for your time.

I am a quality-oriented self-starter who works well, both independently and in a team environment, with over 30 years of experience working in the manufacturing industry.

, NY 2002 – Present
Diamond Machining Technician
• Responsible for prototype and production fabrication, which includes set-up, writing programs and operation of Diamond turning lathes; fly cutters, and ruling engines. Producing optical master tools including Fresnel, linticular, and cylinder lens geometry.
• Lead the development of a key diamond turning process; working together with other technicians, we achieved over 60% reduction in cycle time and significantly increased quality and yields. Received a stock option award in recognition of my achievements on this project.
• Continuous process improvement in regards to all aspects of diamond machining.
• Unusually high degree of patience, tenacity and tolerance for repeated effort sometimes required in order to achieve success in the manufacturing of diamond machined products.
• Metrology equipment used includes; Zygo New View 200, Zygo PTI interferometer, measuring microscopes, and facet angle measuring system.
• Training on the Philip Crosby Quality Education System. Member of the Quality Improvement Team, which serves all departments in the facility.

Corning Rochester Photonics, Rochester NY 1997 - 2002
Engineering Technician 2000 - 2002
• Member of a product development team (Kestrel) tasked with developing a manufacturing system for a new telecommunications product; responsibilities included equipment procurement and qualification, process development and support, customer/vendor communication, process documentation, and transfer of product line to manufacturing department. Team achieved 100% delivery to promise.
• Utilized design of experiments and problem solving techniques to develop stable processes and process yields on a Micro-assembly Mfg product line: resulting yield increased 15%. Processes include Wire bonding, Eutectic and Epoxy Die bonding, Functional test station, Wire pull and Die shear testing.
• Planned, directed and executed product line move to new facility; interfaced with construction and facility teams to ensure all service needs were in place; moved set-up, and qualified equipment in one-half the scheduled time.
• Instituted an equipment preventive maintenance program for Kestrel manufacturing line; created and documented ISO 900 compatible PM schedules and procedures.
• Mechanical support to Micro-assembly work center; designed, built, and improved fixtures to enhance process speed, address ergonomic safety issues, and facilitate assembly of microscopic components.
• Organized and led an Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) Team whose goals included the implementation of a company-wide ESD program, documentation, training, monitoring, and auditing. ESD team progress directly correlated to a yield increase in previously non-resolvable problems with PIN photodiode processing.
• Engineering representative in company wide activities such as: 1st Aid Response, and Clean-room Team member.

Diamond Turning Technician 1997-2000
• Responsible for prototype and short run production, which included set-up, program modification, and operation of Diamond Turning Lathes to produce Optic Lenses, Lens Mold Inserts, and mirrors.
• Initiated improvements for Diamond Turning processes, resulting in surface roughness of 20Å - 30Å typical on nickel and surface flatness improvement from 6 fringes to 1/4 fringe on metals. Materials included: Nickel plating, Aluminum, Germanium, and Plastics. Surface geometries included sphere, aspheric, Plano, and diffractive.
• Trained and experienced in a variety of metrology equipment including: Zygo PTI interferometer, Zygo New View 100 and 5000, Nomarski measuring microscope, and Talysurf surface profiler.
