Led development of new vehicle programs (EV, hybrid, ICE) from feasibility to launch. Managed Interior, BIW, and Exterior Trims teams. Coordinated co-design (e.g., External Lighting) and ensured alignment with Powertrain, Chassis, and EEE. Conducted reviews with global teams and suppliers. Acted as DRE, integrating Engineering, Quality, Purchasing, and Production.

Managed multidisciplinary teams for Stellantis projects (e.g., 500e, Ducato, Doblò). Used PMI and Agile methods for planning and budgeting. Bridged engineering with cost, quality, manufacturing, and purchasing. Participated in global reviews, performed FMEA and benchmarking using Siemens NX. Delivered reports to senior management and ensured KPIs and quality goals were met.

Led industrial projects in the mining sector through all design phases. Mentored design teams and ensured technical quality. Defined scopes, provided consulting, and delivered custom solutions. Validated designs using SolidWorks, Inventor, and AutoCAD. Supported stress analysis with structural engineers, conducted field surveys (3D scanning), and prepared technical documentation for key milestones.

Coordinated engineering team in developing solutions for OEMs like Stellantis, IVECO, Ford, GM, and Hutchinson. Defined project methodologies (planning, budgeting, resources) and ensured scope, deliverables, and timelines were aligned. Led benchmarking and provided technical guidance to designers. Served as liaison between design, quality, and manufacturing.

Led cross-functional teams in major Stellantis programs (e.g., Argo, Toro, Renegade, Compass). Managed full product lifecycle from feasibility to launch. Integrated engineering with cost, quality, and manufacturing. Specialized in BIW, Closures, Trims, and Interiors. Used Siemens NX and Vismockup for 3D validation. Led FMEA/PFMEA processes, technical validations, and global benchmarking. Reported to senior management and ensured quality and risk control throughout execution.

Supported FIAT as part of an embedded engineering team for a new hatchback program. Worked in Body Engineering conducting technical reviews and feasibility studies. Used Siemens NX and Vismockup for 3D visualization, simulation, and validation. Created technical documentation and collaborated with design, manufacturing, and quality teams to ensure alignment between product and process requirements.

Designed industrial equipment for steel and heavy industry clients like VSB and Vallourec. Created technical documentation, manufacturing drawings, and mapped production processes. Led full-cycle equipment development from concept to detail using AutoCAD and SolidWorks. Conducted field surveys, supported suppliers, and ensured design-manufacturing alignment. Provided guidance to junior designers and contributed to planning and resource management.

Designed mining implements and heavy equipment components for major Brazilian extraction companies. Created technical documentation and detailed drawings using AutoCAD, Inventor, and Mechanical Desktop. Led restoration projects and developed Brazil’s first specialized granite bucket. Conducted field surveys, defined scopes, and tailored engineering solutions to real operational needs, improving performance and setting new technical standards.

Designed industrial equipment for steel production, focusing on small to medium-sized systems. Defined scopes and technical solutions for restoration and adaptation projects. Conducted field surveys and created technical documentation based on as-built conditions. Produced 2D and 3D models using CAD tools to support modernization and manufacturing. Ensured design alignment with operational and production requirements.

Developed mechanical designs for construction equipment such as elevators, lifting platforms, and material handling systems. Defined scopes for adaptation and restoration projects. Conducted field surveys and created technical documentation based on as-built conditions. Produced 2D and 3D models using CAD tools to support product development and manufacturing. Ensured alignment between design specifications and operational requirements on-site.
