As Head of New Product Introduction I am leading a global multicultural Team of Engineers and Technicians, responsible for projects in our Headquarters in Italy and the USA. New Product Introduction is the main interface between R&D and Operations, to enable a smooth transition of new products and major hardware, software or process changes from development to serial production. Moreover NPI develops and transfers lean production and process automation to manufacturing readiness.

Plant engineering and process technology development Responsibilities: - Design of new production lines based on piping and instrumentation diagram (P&ID) - Selection of suitable machines, apparatuses, tanks, silos and sensor technology - Supervision of line setup, programming, hook-up, test-run and ramp-up - Global lead for crossfunctional and international project teams in Italy and Austria including coordination of worldwide suppliers for required production equipment

Package development for 77GHz radar sensors based on eWLB technology for automative applications Responsibilities: - Introduction of novel technologies for embedding and electrical connection to reduce package footprint and manufacturing costs - Product design, prototyping phase, product qualification according to required quality standards, transfer to mass production at external OSAT - Global lead for crossfunctional and international project teams located in Germany, Austria, Portugal and Singapore

Product development of LED applications for mobile phone flash, car headlamps and vehicle lighting Responsibilites: - Product design, prototyping phase, machine selection and production line setup, product qualification according to required quality standards, transfer to mass production - Global lead for crossfunctional and international project teams

- Development of alternative production concepts for LEDs like chip scaled packages and substrate free packages - Development of chip sized silicone based phosphor layers for wavelength conversion - Definition of product design including optical, thermal and electrical properties - Choice of suitable materials, machines and production processes - Fabrication of prototypes and assessment in terms of cost, quality and performance

- Development of compression- and transfermolding processes - Focus on advanced technologies like tablet or granular compression molding and film assisted transfermolding - Tool / machine specification and buy-offs - Screening and implementing of new machine and substrate suppliers for QFN leadframes in Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Singapore and Malaysia
