Summary
Robert Santistevan is a versatile metrology engineer and USAF veteran with roughly 8 years of recent experience and a 25+ year career spanning semiconductor manufacturing, IT project management, and telecom migrations. He currently applies hands-on metrology and equipment engineering at Texas Instruments after leading cross-functional projects—from copper-to-fiber network transitions to large-scale finance and mortgage systems implementations at Fortune 500 firms. Skilled in BRDs, HLD/LLD, UAT/SIT coordination, and Lean/Six Sigma methods, he bridges technical troubleshooting, capital equipment installs, and process improvement with equal fluency. His background includes leading 26-person manufacturing areas, contributing to a litho Kaizen that delivered multi-million dollar monthly savings, and troubleshooting avionics guidance systems in the USAF. Known for pragmatic documentation and training practices, he regularly translates regulatory and operational requirements into actionable technical plans. Quietly pragmatic, he keeps a wry sense of digital permanence—“projects destined to live as sparse archives on failing hard drives”—while delivering durable operational outcomes.
