Independently initiated meetings with suppliers, prepared CAD in CATIA, secured DMF, and obtained competitive quotes in collaboration with global supply manager. Achieved $107k in cost savings for Tesla by initiating the rework of an obsolete part for reintroduction into current production. Successfully coordinated with the supplier, prepared rework instructions, and assessed cost-effective options, considering labor rates and shipping costs between China and the US. Show less
