- Responsible for quality assurance and validation from a design scope for powertrain and drivetrain components on approximately 200,000 BMW x5, x6, X7, XM, and M Motorsport models in a fast-paced production environment
- Design and release of components within modules through 3-D model analyses, prototype development and production, and testing and validation on production cars
- Identified high priority supplier quality issues related to brakes, performed root cause analysis and worked closely with Tier 1 OEM suppliers to enforce corrective actions by installing and training AI-powered camera stations at the supplier level to detect defects before reaching the BMW plant
- Resulted in 100% reduction of defect rate
- Applied Lean Manufacturing principles to reduce inefficiencies on the production floor, identifying bottlenecks and rearranging workflows to relieve defects at high-traffic production areas to minimize handling errors and reduce defect rates by 80%
- Applied lean manufacturing principles to identify worsening bottlenecks on the factory floor caused by PHEV vehicles, successfully relocated multiple processes to alleviate the stress on associates, in turn reducing defects in high-demand sections of the factory floor
- Refined design concepts for PHEV and 48V MHEV systems, focusing on integration of the inverter within the transmission
