- Critical Powertrain Process Control:
- Automated Silicone / Sealant Dispensing (RTV): Parameterize and audit robotic dispensing cells (Nordson / SCA / Fanuc / ABB), maintaining control over path trajectories, bead geometry, and open time.
- Servo Presses: Monitor and calibrate Force vs. Displacement signature curves (Promess, Kistler) for the insertion of bushings, freeze plugs (core plugs), and dowel pins.

- Engineering Change Management: Plan and execute plant trial runs (PTR) on the shop floor for new component introductions, design modifications (WERS), or model-year changes without disrupting operational continuity.
- Structured Problem Solving: Actively drive root cause analysis (8D, Ishikawa, 5 Whys, DMAIC) to address quality escapes, functional test failures (Cold/Hot Test), or line micro-stoppages.
Education: Bachelor’s Degree with a Professional License (Cédula Profesional) in Mechanical, Mechatronics, Industrial, Manufacturing Engineering, or a related field.
