Michael Pannone

Michael Pannone has a diverse work experience in the field of engineering. Michael started their career as a Test Technician at Plextronics Inc. in 2010 and later became a Test Engineer. In this role, they developed and troubleshooted semiconductor test procedures, as well as designed data structures and test algorithms. Michael also played a vital role in adding four new essential test capabilities by commissioning custom-built capital equipment purchases.

In 2014, Pannone joined Solvay OLED (Corporate R&D Incubator) as a Device Engineer. Michael performed hands-on optical and electrical characterization of thin-film semiconductor devices and polymeric coatings. Pannone also developed an experiment analysis package using VBA to automate and standardize graph generation.

Pannone then transitioned to the role of a Senior Research Engineer at Solvay OLED. Michael conducted thin-film polymer research and was responsible for ensuring the timing, accuracy, and performance of the nanofabrication line. Michael successfully met or exceeded the performance expectations of three key customers using internally fabricated research samples.

Currently, Pannone serves as a Principal Test Engineer at Wolfspeed. In this role, they lead the development and upgrade of wafer level test equipment, supporting the electrical characterization of Power and Radio Frequency devices. Michael has also developed a test executive and sequencer platform for communication with various resources, enabling a unified user interface and automation tools for different testing requirements. Pannone has extensive expertise in transistor and passive device screening techniques.

Overall, Pannone's work experience showcases their knowledge and skills in engineering, specifically in the areas of test engineering, device characterization, and research and development.

Michael Pannone attended the University of Pittsburgh from 2005 to 2009, where they earned a Bachelor's degree in Physics.
