Harold Wayne Shuck



I learned process engineering in the wafer fabs of Texas Instruments.
I designed and sustained many semiconductor processes backgrind, oxide deposition, plasma etch, PO dep and etch, metalization including both sputter and evaporation and production techniques cermet resistors, TiW fuses, loadlock ashing, polymer removal, ultrasonic clean, planarization, tape/detaping .

I'm proficient in all popular manufacturing improvement schemes, such as orthogonal design, SPC, 5S, Lean, JIT, and Six Sigma. I've also designed and implemented process automation programs.

I have supervised technical groups and I've led cross-functional teams. I have coordinated equipment purchase programs and supplier negotiations.

Work at TI created in me, an appreciation for honesty and integrity. Precision, accuracy, and repeatability are keys to creating a successful product. Good documentation and dependable communication are vital for successful manufacturing. I understand and enjoy all aspects of data acquisition, analysis, and feedback. I excel in all areas of process design and control and I thrive in technical manufacturing environments.

I'm a single empty-nester For several years, my primary responsibility, as a single dad, has been the care of my two children.
My son is now an electrical engineering student at The University of Texas and my daughter is studying
mechanical engineering at Texas Tech. My care-giving days are over and I am excited by the opportunity
to challenge myself with a new professional career.
with no distractions and I'm ready to go to work for you.

I am an electrical engineer,
seeking new, challenging employment.
