Summary
Steven Kuo is a senior metrology quality and reliability engineer with 25+ years driving ISO/IATF-16949 compliant supplier management and process control for advanced packaging, test, and PCB/substrate manufacturing. At Intel he fused AI/ML-assisted inspection with manufacturing analytics to cut escapes to near zero and boost process efficiency by over 25%, while leading cross-functional excursions and supplier capability roadmaps. He pairs hands-on automation and MEMS experience—from FPGA-integrated inertial devices to automated photonics assembly—with academic research and teaching, including publications at ISSM, SPIE and ASME and patent submissions. Steven’s background spans industry R&D (ITRI), university labs, and high-volume manufacturing, giving him rare end-to-end insight from prototype to production. Known for translating complex metrology data into actionable risk predictions, he also mentors teams on standardizing QMS across multi-national suppliers. Based in New Taipei, he combines practical automation expertise with a Doctor of Engineering focus on automation and AI.
