Murat Yucel Email and Phone Number

As an accomplished Principal Welding Engineer with a robust background in process development and optimization, I have dedicated my career to advancing manufacturing processes, particularly in the defense and aerospace industries. Since earning my degree in Metallurgical and Materials Engineering from Middle East Technical University in 2008, I have continually expanded my expertise, beginning with the prestigious "International Welding Engineer" diploma from ODTÜ KTM and GSI.My professional journey began at Roketsan A.Ş., where I played a pivotal role in the development and implementation of complex manufacturing processes. Over the years, I have led teams in the production of ballistic ceramics, armor systems, and rocket components. My tenure at Roketsan included significant contributions to the Turkish National Main Battle Tank Composite Armor Production and the establishment of the Türkiye Ballistic Protection Center.I have consistently demonstrated leadership in my field, from managing large-scale production lines to optimizing critical welding processes, including pressure tanks, fuel tanks welding, isogrid body welding, fuel line orbital welding, and filter resistance welding. My role in the Space Launch System project as a Welding Expert highlights my commitment to excellence and innovation in manufacturing for space applications.Key Skills:- Laser Cutting- Milling & Turning- Grinding- Wire EDM- Armor System Welding- MIG Welding- TIG Welding- Powder Metallurgy for Ballistic Ceramic Production (Mixer, Spray Dryer, Non-Gravity Mixer, Cold Press, Sintering Furnaces, Hot Presses)- Collaborative Material and Process Selection with Design Teams- Team Management in Shift Systems- Plasma Welding- Electron Beam Welding- Resistance Seam Welding- Orbital Welding- Robotic Welding Expert- Laser Welding- Risk Management- Critical Decision-Making
