Mihai Stefan

I’m an automotive engineer with 10+ years of experience in vehicle homologation (bodywork), focused on turning regulatory requirements into clear, executable plans. I bring strong expertise in compliance, test coordination, and project leadership, backed by work with international certification authorities.

As a Project Manager – Homologation (Bodywork) at Renault Technologie Roumanie (Mar 2022 – Present), I define homologation strategy and vehicle configurations, plan and coordinate testing campaigns, and ensure regulatory compliance and documentation consistency. I also manage homologation files and approval processes, while interfacing and negotiating with certification authorities.

Previously, as an Approval Expert at Renault Technologie Roumanie (Jul 2014 – Mar 2022), I managed vehicle approval processes across multiple programs and coordinated tests to ensure conformity with regulations. I prepared technical documentation for certification and supported decisions that kept programs compliant.

Earlier, as a Mechanical Engineer at OMV Petrom (Mar 2013 – Jul 2014), I ensured compliance with engineering standards and regulations through technical analysis and improvement studies. I hold a Master’s in Mechanical Engineering (Vehicle & Future Technologies) and a Bachelor’s in Automotive Engineering, and I’m fluent in English (advanced) with intermediate French.
