Scott is a team member at Applied Medical Resources in Rancho Santa Margarita Ca. where he works with the team to ensure the efficient and correct flow of materials, such as electronics, through the production area during the manufacture of medical devices.  He works with the team to review and update procedures related to ESD and also participates in troubleshooting.  He has been a team member at Applied Medical Resources since 2012.

Prior to Applied Medical, Scott was an electrical engineer at Seametrics designing and testing flow meters to measure water in pipes.

Scott graduated from Seattle Pacific University with a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering and from the University of Washington with a master’s degree in electrical engineering.

Scott Ward joined Texas Instruments in 2007 to work in the field of device-level ESD testing and ESD standards development. His work expanded to factory ESD control, ESD safe handling practices and EOS analysis. Prior to joining Texas Instruments, Scott worked for Cypress Semiconductor from 2001-2007. At Cypress Semiconductor, his work included ESD and Latch-up design and characterization; as well as device testing standards development. He began his career at ZiLOG in 1995, designing on-chip ESD protection networks. Since 2003, he has been a member of the ESDA Working Group 5 standards committee (device testing). Scott joined the JEDEC ESD standards task group in 2005. Scott has attending every EOS/ESD Symposium since his first in 1996. Scott is currently on the STDCOM and TAS within the ESDA standards organization and a member of the Automotive Electronics Council (AEC) ESD and Latch-up sub-teams. Scott co-leads the ESDA-JEDEC JS-001 HBM joint, the AEC Q100-002 HBM and the AEC Q100-011 CDM committees. Since 2012, Scott is on the ESDA Board of Directors. Scott is an iNARTE certified ESD Engineer.  He has an M.S. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Idaho (2002) and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Montana State University (1992).
