Levi Silva Email and Phone Number

Hi, how are you doing? Nice to meet you! My name is Levi, and I am a Mechanical Engineer, graduated in Minas Gerais. Although my academic background is heavily focused on numbers, I have a strong interest in languages and other cultures. During my studies, I worked as a teaching assistant in Thermodynamics, Fluid Mechanics, and Heat Transfer. In addition, while attending French proficiency classes at Alliance Française, I have taught French to children, teenagers, and adults for two years.Shortly before graduation, I started learning German to participate in a six-month exchange program in Munich, Germany, where I attended weekly classes at Fachhochschule München. On other days, I worked as intern in the research and development department at Webasto Thermosysteme, a company focused on heating systems for cars, buses, and commercial vehicles, with operations in several countries, including Brazil, in Arujá, São Paulo.After graduating, I joined Schaeffler Brazil in Sorocaba, São Paulo, a German multinational in the automotive parts sector that has been present in Brazil since 1958. I began as a Trainee Engineer in bearing production and later advanced to Production Technician, Test and Validation Engineer, and ultimately Production Supervisor, leading a team of 15 people. During my time at Schaeffler, I traveled on several occasions abroad not only to acquire knowledge but also to train colleagues from other plants. Additionally, I completed my MBA in Business Management at FGV and earned my master’s degree in Manufacturing Processes from the School of Mechanical Engineering at UNICAMP.My recent professional experience was at CNH Industrial, also located in Sorocaba, São Paulo, a member of Stellantis group in the agricultural sector. At the Sorocaba plant, it is assembled Case IH and New Holland harvesters. In this role, I focused on optimizing assembly processes, developing tooling, and redesigning layouts. During this time, I also began a new postgraduate program in Lean Six Sigma with Black Belt Certification at FACENS (Sorocaba, São Paulo), which I expect to complete by the end of 2025.One thing that I am very proud of is an award received from SAE during its congress in 2014. As a result, for my very first time I travelled to the US to present my technical paper during the SAE International Congress in Detroit in 2015.
