Summary
Amir Tavakoli is a senior product engineer with eight years of experience specializing in materials and component engineering for semiconductor manufacturing equipment. He blends deep academic training (PhD in Materials Science) with hands-on productization—leading material development, supplier qualification, and failure analysis for CVD and epitaxy systems at Applied Materials and now Lam Research. Amir has launched metrology and testing programs, enabled new suppliers at production scale, and applied nanopowder and ceramic-film innovations to high-volume manufacturing. His background in thermal and phase-transformation analysis and microscopy informs practical durability and cost-improvement solutions across near-wafer components. Based in Fremont, he pairs a researcher's rigor with product-manager instincts—often translating niche analytical methods into manufacturable, supplier-ready processes. A less obvious strength is his consistent track record of turning advanced lab techniques (GD-OES, TEM, nanoparticle metrology) into tangible supplier and production wins.
