What I'm looking for

I'm available for remote contract engagements with U.S. companies and open to occasional U.S. business travel.

At LEONI Wiring Systems, I design and validate automotive wire harnesses to customer requirements and engineering standards. I coordinate engineering changes and technical deliverables, and prepare production documentation such as BOMs and wire lists.

At NORTH AMERICAN INTERCONNECT, I supported wire harness development through manufacturing implementation, assessing feasibility and defining tooling requirements and project cost estimates. I also supported NPI from design validation through production launch.

Earlier at NORTH AMERICAN INTERCONNECT, I developed manufacturing processes, created FMEAs and work instructions, and supported production readiness. At FORD Hermosillo Stamping and Assembly, I supported the Ford Bronco Sport launch and assisted with training development.
