Technical Lead

Jan 2017 – Jan 2022 · 5 yrs · Bengaluru, Karnataka, India

Contributed in following areas for Applied Material’s equipment tool used for Panel Manufacturing.
> Computational Geometry: Design and development of polygon Boolean operations (OR, XOR) , polygon offsetting/biasing algorithms.
> Alignment: Semiconductor wafer/panel alignment using Image processing techniques. Achieved sub- micron level precision using sub-pixel accurate edge-detection and circle-fit algorithms.
> Diagnostics: Design and development of auto diagnostic algorithms to detect hardware anomalies and optical aberrations (telecentricity, chromatic aberration etc). Also leading the efforts for camera image quality diagnostic and bitmap compare module.
> Simulators: Development of software simulation for lithography tool. Modeled hardware responses using statistical models to accurately simulate hardware behavior.
> Parallel Computing: Implemented multi-threaded start-up code using pthread POSIX APIs. Implemented logger process using SystemV IPC APIs (shared memory and semaphores).
> Team Building: Interviewing candidates, getting them on-board. Help team-mates ramp up and lead them technically in their assignments.
All development done in C programming language on Linux Platform.
