Work experience

Product Validation Development Engineer
05.2022 - 03.2025 |American Glass Products
ISO, IEC 17025, MSA, SPC, DOE, DFMEA, PFMEA, APQP, PPAP, ASTM, ECE R43
● Technical lead for product validation projects for Tesla, Volvo, and Jaguar Land Rover. Managed the full lifecycle of Design Verification Plans (DVP), from development to industrialization, ensuring timely technical deliverables within budgets of €200,000–€500,000 per project. Key Projects: Tesla Model X, Model S, Model Y, Cybertruck, Semitruck; Volvo Photovoltaic; Jaguar Land Rover EMA2 (Glass components – Windshields, Roofs, Sidelites). ● Authorized manufacturing processes and ensured metrological compliance with ISO/IEC 17025 standards. Implemented advanced statistical tools (MSA, SPC, DOE) to ensure robust, traceable, and high-quality production in structural lamination and encapsulation. Participated in DFMEA, PFMEA, APQP, and PPAP activities. ● Directed technical verification of prototypes, raw materials, and technologies focused on continuous production and process optimization. Utilized scientific and engineering methodologies: Spectrophotometry, Microstructural and Compositional Analysis (SEM/EDS-EDX), Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR for polymers), and physical-mechanical testing (tensile, impact, flexural) according to ASTM, ISO, ECE R43, and global OEM specifications.
Research Laboratory Lead
05.2020 - 07.2021 |Renewable Energy and Functional Materials Lab
DOE
● Led the development of hybrid perovskite solar cell prototypes, integrating carbon nanotubes to enhance energy efficiency with a focus on manufacturability and material scalability. ● Designed and executed DOE-based experiments to optimize synthesis and deposition of semiconductor aterials, ensuring reproducibility and high-quality outputs under controlled lab conditions. ● Oversaw structural, morphological, optical, and electrical characterization of functional thin films using advanced techniques: UV-Vis spectroscopy, FTIR, SEM/EDS, and I-V curve analysis. ● Developed and assembled lithium battery prototypes in inert atmosphere vacuum chambers, using sputtering and cryogenic handling of carbon-based advanced materials within a physical-chemical research environment.
Metrology Analyst
07.2017 - 02.2019 |CyV Lab
ISO, IEC 17025, IMS, Metrology
● Led the implementation and validation of calibration and testing methods, successfully achieving initial ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation for the lab — from documentation design to final audit. ● Developed and documented technical and management procedures for the Integrated Management System (IMS), ensuring alignment with international quality, traceability, and technical competence standards. ● Managed maintenance, control, and metrological assurance plans for laboratory equipment, ensuring compliance with national and international calibration standards. ● Monitored laboratory environmental conditions and performed calibrations of electronic instruments in gas flow and electroacoustic magnitudes, following procedures such as CEM ME-009 and NTP-011.
