Daejeon, Daejeon, Kr

United States

- Managed module and pack productions of LG Energy Solution Michigan plant, supporting North American customers such as Ford, Stellantis, and GM with a daily output of 1000 modules, 250 packs.- Led North American pack production technical support department, supporting upcoming Joint-Ventures with U.S.-based OEMs like Stellantis, Honda, Volvo, and Toyota. Focused on accelerating the industrialization by achieving 85% OEE and 99.5% yield rate during launching phase.

Daejeon, Korea

- Oversaw 9 high-voltage battery pack development teams and supervised XXX engineers. Successfully led the mass production of over 12 PHEV modules, 8 PHEV packs, 22 EV modules, and 5 EV packs, designed for cost-efficiency, enhanced safety, and manufacturability for global OEMs- Oversaw the entire battery pack development activities based on automotive industry’s APQP process, including analyzing customer requirements, creating conceptual design, prototyping samples, conducting validations, creating mass production-intended design and supporting production launch.- Led and managed the selection process of domestic and international suppliers, developed design specifications to achieve design reliability and cost objectives, and oversaw engineering efforts for suppliers’ quality enhancement.- Conducted DFMEA (Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) during design phase to identify and prevent potential quality issues and led activities to analyze and provide solutions for field issues.- Acted as primary leadership from module/pack concept generation to ramping up mass-production volume during launching phases(R@R) for technically challenging projects.

Seoul, Korea

- Conducted strategic product planning for LG Energy Solution’s cells, modules, and packs. Aligning with OEM needs and requirements for next-generation electrifications.- Conducted market intelligence to stay abreast of the latest trends in the automotive industry and understand competitor approaches.- Managed corporate relations, including handling electrification policies of Korean Governments, fostering foreign collaborations, and overseeing corporate communications for the public.- Developed new business models, such as battery recycling and second-life battery applications, to capitalize on emerging opportunities.- Performed preliminary technical analysis and crafted concept proposals for the RFI/RFQ phase, including managing a dedicated quick RFI response team to ensure timely and effective response.

Yongin, Gyeonggi-Do, Korea

- Led the Low Voltave(LV) battery development team of XX engineers, specializing in the creation of 12V Starter Li-Ion Batteries, 12V Dual Li-Ion Batteries, and 48V Li-Ion Batteries- Oversaw the entire battery pack development activities, including analyzing customer requirements, creating conceptual design, prototyping samples, conducting validations, creating mass production-intended design and supporting production launch.- Led the development of the 48V BSG system, encompassing electric motor, inverter, DC-DC converter and 48V Battery pack as part of advanced R&D project (proof-of-concept)

Lemont, Il

- Developed advanced vehicle-level controls for a range of advanced vehicles, including HEVs, PHEVs, EVs and FCEVs. Employing various control approaches such as state flow and fuzzy logics, as well as global optimization routines, these controls aim to maximize fuel efficiency.- Conducted numerous simulation studies to support the U.S. Department of Energy’s R&D initiatives. This included assisting Freedom CAR Technical Teams, such as determining battery requirements for Plug-In Hybrid Vehicles (PHEVs)and assessing ultracapacitors for mild HEVs as well as contributing to Government Performance Result Act/Portfolio Decision Support analysis.- Established and operated a battery-in-the-loop (BHIL) system for evaluating and benchmarking advanced batteries use din HEVs PHEVs and EVs. This system not only reduces the development time of battery packs but also addresses critical battery-vehicle integration challenges.

Dearborn, Mi, U.S.A.

- Engineered vehicle-level driving control strategies tailored to diverse HEV systems and Transmission systems.- Created a PC-based low-frequency vehicle simulator (CVSP) using Simulink/MATLAB software. This toll delivers forecasts of fuel economy, emissions, performance, and energy utilization for Ford Motor Company’s current and prospective lineups.
