Quick Biography, Jerry Hernandez (Paco)
I have been in the semi-conductor community for the past 30 years. My back ground is in the
field of Mechanical Engineering in Liquid transfer and Hydraulic movement. Im well established
in the semi-conductor and solar communities. I have 8 years in high purity water systems such
as Reverse Osmosis Units to Deionization System. 12 years in chemical processing units from
Chemical Dispense Cabinets to Solvent Delivery Systems. 8 years of experience in solar
processing and several years in waste water recovery units. Ive engineered, designed, and
developed equipment for every phase of a semi-conductor wafer. I am one of the pioneers in
the use of PVDF in high purity water systems, 1981. Ive engineered and developed chemical
management systems for most chip manufacturers. Ive engineered wet bench systems for
wafer processing and cleaning. Ive designed and build chemical recovery units and AWN (Acid
Waste Neutralization) systems. Helped in engineering one of the largest waste recovery
systems in the east coast for Big Blue utilizing coagulants and flocculants. Helped the Navy in
the field of GPS positioning systems for missile accuracy. I have experiences in the designing
of medical equipment for one of the largest medical tool manufacturers in the United States.
Working with Exergy, Ive designed and built EthorCEL units for Seagate. Im well
knowledgeable in compliances in SEMI and Factory Mutual (FM)

Jerry (Paco) and I worked together at Celerity on what were at the time cutting edge products both from
the aspect of technical complexity and the business plan for capitalizing on the product. Jerry provided
technical insight to the design process that improved both the design and the manufacturing cost of the
product. His in-depth knowledge of the design process and the design tools coupled with his ability to
maintain a sense of hummer during crunch time made working with Jerry. I look forward to the
opportunity to work with Paco again.

Jerry (Paco) and I have worked on multiple projects at multiple companies over past 20 years. Jerry is the
person you want on a team becasue he has the skills to listen and understand what a client needs,
understands cost engineering and can do the complete design/build/implementation of a project if requred.
I will always want Jerry on my teams if the opportunity is there.

Tom Doak (Director at Lumasense) (408)607-0980
After working previously with Paco for several years at Microbar designing and building
semiconductor capital equipment, I didn't hesitate to hire Paco to work with me at Engineered
Solutions. His years of experience with wet chemistry systems proved to be valuable to the
success of chemical mix/blend and delivery systems he designed at Engineered Solutions. Since
leaving ES, we have continued to work together on other design projects. I have not encountered
many mechanical engineers who can have a tool half designed by the time we leave an initial
customer meeting but that is one resource he consistently brings to the table.
