What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a precise, quality-driven digital design role where I can apply CAD, technical documentation, validation, and manufacturing-process experience while continuing to develop my engineering software skills.

At Faurecia, I support automotive exhaust-system launches for Renault and Ford OES programs through production-line layouts, validation activities, and production-readiness documentation.

I prepare CAD-based layout scenarios, verify shop-floor dimensions, and account for equipment, fixtures, material flow, logistics, operator needs, and installation constraints. I also measure components and welds, prepare inspection reports, and analyze welding rework data to support quality-improvement discussions.

At GEDIK Holding, I contributed to order processing, inventory tracking, customer documentation, casting inspections, heat-treatment operations, and 5S implementation. I also developed an Excel-based tool for gating-system calculations to improve internal process efficiency.

I'm a Metallurgical and Materials Engineering student motivated to apply AutoCAD, SolidWorks, Siemens NX, Excel, SAP, and quality-focused engineering practices in a precise digital design role.
