“Axcelis is one of the few companies worldwide that makes ion implanters, so it’s a great opportunity to get insight into such a complex technology. Recently, I developed a 3D printed alignment fixture that turns what was previously a 10-minute assembly task into a two-minute task. Seeing my efforts translate to more efficient building for the technicians is something I love to see.”
