What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can lead mechanical design and DFMEA efforts, manage PDM/PLM and BOMs, collaborate with clients, and drive product development improvements in an automotive or mechatronics-focused team.

I am a Lead Mechanical Engineer and PhD student focused on mechatronics and automotive product development, with extensive experience in advanced CAD design and BOM management.

I have led DFMEA sessions using APIS IQ-RM to proactively identify and mitigate design risks, improving product reliability and alignment with industry standards.

As the primary technical contact in client meetings, I balance technical feasibility, cost and quality constraints while managing product data in PDM/PLM systems.

My hands-on background includes CAD modeling (CATIA V5, PTC Creo), CNC programming and machining, MATLAB and Python tooling, and SQL/database management to optimize manufacturing workflows.
