Experience
Mercedes-Benz U.S. International, Inc. (MBUSI), Vance, AL
Senior Materials and Process Engineer / September, 2023 — Present
• Local subject matter expert on various engineering metallic and non-metallic materials used in building Mercedes-Benz electric vehicles in North America production plants (MBUSI and MBMI). • Coordinate failure analysis of defective parts, organize production trials and implement lessons learned, provide technical support to multi-tier suppliers during manufacturing location transfers, and spearhead data-driven process optimizations to minimize process variability using PDCA or Six-sigma DMAIC problem solving methodologies.
Dept. of Metallurgical & Materials Engineering, The University of Alabama
Associate Research Professional / September, 2021 — August, 2023
• Led and collaborated with cross-functional teams on industry-focused metal casting projects requiring adaptation of standards and ensured successful project completion within budget and timeline by implementing agile principles. • Partnered with the principal investigator in executing an innovative steel technology research and development program sponsored by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), with a budget of $3.3m.
Solidification Laboratory, Dept. of Materials Science & Engineering, University of Alabama at Birmingham
Materials Research Engineer / August, 2018 — August, 2021
• Carried out fundamental research aimed at developing multi-phase Aluminum alloys for aerospace applications, leading to a sustained research grant of $600,000 (NASA + NSF). • Managed a laboratory team of researchers, optimized processes and improved team velocity by incorporating capacity planning into project planning sessions, offered supervisory/technical guidance, and encouraged team self-organization.
Thermochemistry of Materials Scientific Research Centre, National University of Science & Tech. (NUST MISIS), Moscow, Russia
Materials Research Engineer / October, 2015 — June, 2017
• Collaborated with a multi-disciplinary team of 15 on a government-sponsored project to develop lightweight metallic alloys (e.g. Al-Cr-Fe) for complex engineering applications, particularly for the aerospace industry. • Facilitated project planning and review meetings and worked with the team to implement improvements
