• Collaborated with a cross-functional team of engineers, R&D, suppliers, and manufacturing departments to develop and evaluate system designs, test methods, and manufacturing processes.
• Refined new model prototype units for mass production and manufacturability through static/dynamic vehicle performance and durability testing, successfully implementing two design changes prior to global launch.
• Integrated a collaborative robot into the Product Engineering department, significantly enhancing testing quality, consistency, and efficiency by 300%, while eliminating ergonomic concerns.
• Performed root cause analysis and developed cost-effective solutions for test failures and quality rejections, utilizing CATIA V5 to ensure compatibility with manufacturing processes and existing designs.

• Utilized SolidWorks and Polyworks extensively in the reverse engineering of 35+ OEM parts and assemblies over three years.
• Measured and analyzed optical scans of parts using CMM laser roaming arm; generating point cloud models and overlaid scans with CAD models to identify deviations in design.
