ABOUT ME

I am an electronic engineer with solid experience in hardware development, automated testing, and New Product
Introduction (NPI) projects for automotive ECUs. I work across the entire product lifecycle, from schematic design
and PCB layout to production validation, always focused on quality, reliability, and efficiency.

In addition to my core engineering responsibilities, I have hands-on experience with the installation and
commissioning of industrial equipment, including test machines and flash memory programming stations, ensuring
proper integration and functionality on production lines.

I have daily experience using English in a global technical environment, leading meetings, presentations, and product
approval processes with international clients and cross-functional teams. My clear communication and ability to
collaborate with multidisciplinary groups ensure strong alignment and effective execution of complex projects.

I am actively seeking an international opportunity and am fully available for relocation and frequent international
travel. I am highly motivated to learn and constantly strive to improve myself, including learning programming and
new languages such as English, German, Spanish, and Japanese, with the goal of acquiring new knowledge and
contributing my skills to the company’s success.
