What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster innovation and collaboration in engineering projects.

I am a mechanical engineer with twelve years of experience in the automotive industry, primarily focusing on design engineering for engine projects in North America. My expertise lies in internal combustion engine systems and braking systems, where I have successfully led design and development processes in international teams.

Throughout my career, I have achieved significant milestones, including the successful development and release of noise-optimized front brake pads for the VW-Atlas and the design of the EA211 1.5L engine for the North-America VW-TAOS. My role as the design responsible for various components has allowed me to collaborate with local suppliers to enhance product quality and localization.

I am passionate about engineering and continuously seek to improve processes and outcomes. My technical skills, combined with my ability to work effectively in diverse teams, make me a valuable asset in any engineering project.
