What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles in powertrain or automotive systems where I can lead teams, drive projects from concept to production, improve quality and reduce costs, and collaborate with suppliers and OEMs in an engineering-focused environment.

I am an experienced automotive mechanical engineer with deep expertise in powertrain development, test and validation, and technical damage analysis.

As Chief Engineer (Powertrain) I led project management and personnel, coordinated suppliers and development partners, and drove development and series introduction of transfer-case and Grenadier powertrain solutions, implementing quality measures that achieved a 15% error reduction.

Previously as Assistant Chief Engineer at a major OEM I led a team of 12 engineers, managed budgets up to €5M, and steered series and research projects (CNG-hybrid, autonomous parking, AT9, dDCT), delivering process and supply-chain optimizations that shortened development times by 21% and supported volumes >€50M.

Since 2020 I work freelance as a vehicle appraiser producing technical reports with engineering damage analysis; I seek to apply my leadership and technical skills to senior roles in powertrain, integration, or validation within engineering-focused teams.
