What I'm looking for

I seek a role where I can apply CAD and manufacturing expertise to improve product design, production efficiency, and quality systems within a collaborative, process-driven team.

I am a mechanical design engineer with experience across design, production engineering, and quality control, focused on delivering robust products and process improvements. I have hands-on expertise in CATIA, AutoCAD, creating assembly and working drawings, and developing production devices to increase efficiency.

I have supported quotation feasibility, production cost calculation, validation protocols, APQP/PPAP documentation, and customer audits while leading process optimization and defect analysis efforts. I bring practical shop-floor understanding from roles in design, production, and quality, and I am committed to meeting deadlines and maintaining high product standards.
