Sometimes it doesn't make sense to hire a full time employee and increase head count for short term projects in the MEMS field. An alternate solution is to take advantage of MEMStaff's decades of MEMS development and volume production manufacturing experience by using our consulting services. MEMStaff consultants have been providing consulting services to well known companies in the MEMS industry since 2006. MEMStaff consultants have unique expertise in the MEMS field and specialize in technical consulting for such tasks as due diligance for Mergers, Acquisitions, and Funding as well as Intelectual Property consulting and Layout/Design Review. MEMStaff also has expertise in a wide variety of product categories including Pressure Sensors, Inertial Sensors, and Microphones.

MEMStaff consultants have played key roles in conception, development, ramp, and volume production of MEMS products being sold into Automotive, Consumer, and a variety of other markets today. Take advantage of this experience to get your product to market faster, at lower cost, with improved yield, quality and reliability. See the biographies below of some of MEMStaff's consultants and contact us if you think your project can benefit from our experience.

Kevin Chau has over 25 years of experience leading large development efforts in commercializing MEMS products for high-volume applications. Kevin was the Director of MEMS Engineering at LV Sensors before joining MEMStaff. Prior to LV Sensors, Kevin spent 14 years at Analog Devices where he was instrumental in the development of MEMS Inertial Sensors which have since become high volume products found in diverse applications from air bag sensors to the latest consumer electronics products, e.g., the Nintendo Wii. Prior to Analog Devices, Kevin worked at the Foxboro Company where he developed Polysilicon-Diaphragm Pressure Sensor Arrays. Kevin received a PhD under Prof. Kensall D. Wise and an MSEE both from the University of Michigan. Kevin is located in Silicon Valley. Click here for a detailed resume describing Kevin's background.

Jason Weigold has worked in the MEMS industry for more than 15 years. He received the B.S.E.E. degree from the University of California at Los Angeles (UCLA) in 1995 and the M.S.E.E. and Ph.D. degree from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor in 1997 and 2000 respectively doing research in the field of microelectromechanical systems including projects for the Charles Stark Draper Laboratories and the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). He worked at Analog Devices for many years in the Advanced Development Group of the Micromachined Products Division working on diverse MEMS development projects. He has worked on the development of MEMS inertial sensors, MEMS switches, MEMS resonators, MEMS pressure sensors, and MEMS microphones over the years. Areas of work included all stages of MEMS product development including, new product conceptualization, mechanical design and simulation, process design and integration, layout, fabrication, testing and evaluation, mechanical and electrical characterization, assembly, and packaging. Inertial Sensors and Microphones that Jason developed while at Analog Devices are selling in high volume today into well known automotive and consumer applications. Some of Jason's key strenghts are in Intellectual Property, Fabrication, and Test Chip Development. Jason is located in Boston. Click here for a detailed resume describing Jason's background.
 

Neha Choksi has more than 10 years in the Semiconductor and MEMS industries recently serving as Director of Product Engineering at Silicon Microstructures. Neha directed a team of Product Engineers in high production volume, high reliability MEMS pressure sensor products for automotive, commercial electronics, and medical applications. She was responsible for yield improvement, product improvement, and product cost reduction of an ISO 9001/ TS 16949 certified fabrication facility. She managed the product life cycle of products from post-prototype into high volume production while enforcing strict design controls based on the advanced product quality planning (APQP). She also defined reliability and qualification needs for products and for product changes to ensure products met specification. Neha served as the key communication link between Sales, Quality, Production, Process Engineering, and other departments Neha is located in Silicon Valley.
