January 24, 2006 |Estimated reading time: 1 minute
FRANKLIN, Mass. — Speedline Technologies has named Dr. Rita Mohanty to lead its Advanced Development Group (ADG), a team of engineers and resources dedicated to the research and development of technological and process innovations in SMT manufacturing and PCB assembly.
Featuring a laboratory staffed with experienced process engineers and equipment, Dr. Mohanty claims the ADG's lab is at least two to five years ahead of the industry in its work. Its current work includes improving print inspection techniques, achieving smaller and faster dispensing, and improving reflow and wave soldering in conjunction with lead-free initiatives, according to Dr. Mohanty.
A certified Six Sigma instructor, Dr. Mohanty has over 15 years of experience in both industry and academics relating to engineering and electronic polymers, electronic packaging, and assembly. Prior to joining Speedline, she worked as the General Technologist at Ark-Les Corp. managing lead free processing, RoHS compliance roadmap, and various Six Sigma improvement projects, along with developing and teaching a custom Green Belt program. Before joining Ark-Les, she worked as the R&D manager at Cookson Semiconductor Packaging Materials, developing both conductive and non-conductive electronic adhesives. At Brown University, her research focused on thin film ITO, employing RF sputtering; and at the University of Rhode Island, she focused on polymer membranes as applicable to environmental applications. She is active throughout the industry as an author and editor of books and technical papers, the owner of a technical patent, and as an officer in IMAPS, SMTA, and SGIA.
