Douglas Robertson

I am a highly motivated and process-focused operator with proven experience in monitoring and optimizing production systems, ensuring safety, quality, and compliance. I have a strong foundation in engineering principles, supported by technical skills in troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, and process improvement. I am familiar with programming tools (RStudio, Python, MATLAB, Bash and other programming languages) for data analysis and problem-solving. I am eager to learn new skills, solve complex problems, work effectively as part of a team, and take initiative to drive results.

I am seeking to transition into a process engineering role where I can combine operational expertise with technical knowledge to drive efficiency and innovation.

I am passionate about computing, engineering, coding, 3D printing and modelling with additional interests in swimming and baking.

I am eager to apply for the Process Engineering position, bringing with me a strong technical foundation, hands-on operational experience, and a proven ability to work in safety-critical, highly regulated environments. Since 2024, I have gained valuable experience as a Operator, where I developed the ability to perform under pressure, manage multiple priorities, and maintain the highest standards of safety and compliance. These experiences have given me a strong awareness of process control, quality assurance, and teamwork in fast-paced, high-stakes settings.

I graduated with a BSc(Hons.) in Physics in April 2024, where I developed a solid grounding in engineering principles, problem-solving, and technical analysis. My dissertation focused on data analysis and programming, requiring the use of Python, Bash, C and MATLAB to extract insights and model outcomes from large data sets. This strengthened my ability to apply coding to real-world challenges, approach problems with analytical precision, and deliver accurate, data-driven results, skills directly transferable to process engineering.

Over the past 17 months at Sivers, I have gained extensive hands-on experience in semiconductor manufacturing, including wafer thinning and polishing, dry and wet etch, and spin coating processes. I am one of only a few operators trained to run the Sputter 2 tool and have also began cross training on aligners, AFM, and the BSA process, and i am eager for more opportunities to further my training in these areas and others. These responsibilities have not only strengthened my technical expertise but also enhanced my ability to troubleshoot, optimise processes, and mentor junior operators, all skills that align closely with the requirements of a process engineering role.

Alongside my academic and professional experience, I have actively sought opportunities to build leadership, communication, and resilience. I achieved the Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award in July 2025, following my Bronze and Silver awards, as well as the President's and Queen's Badges in the Boys' Brigade. These programmes developed my ability to lead, collaborate across diverse teams, and persevere through challenges. In addition, my voluntary work as a swimming assistant and training as a lifeguard demonstrate my ability to operate responsibly in safety critical environments, with a strong focus on compliance and risk management.

I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to transition into process engineering, where I can bring together my technical knowledge, data analysis expertise, and operational insight. I am confident that my combination of skills and experiences makes me a strong candidate, and I would welcome the opportunity to contribute to the success and innovation of Sivers.
