Led the end-to-end structure design and development for a new generation of B-Class vehicle body panels, including doors, fenders, and underbody reinforcements, utilizing UG NX and CATIA.
Directed the full 3D structural design of complex transfer and progressive dies, ensuring robust integration of cam units, nitrogen cylinders, and lifters for automated production lines.
Pioneered the implementation of standardized design libraries for punch, die, and holder sets, which reduced design cycle time by 15% and minimized engineering errors.
Served as the primary technical authority during design reviews, providing critical DFM feedback to product engineering that eliminated 4 major formability issues prior to tooling fabrication, saving an estimated $250,000 in potential rework costs.
Collaborated closely with CAE analysts to interpret AutoForm simulation results (springback, thinning), translating analytical findings into practical, optimized structural design improvements.
Managed the technical interface with overseas tooling suppliers, ensuring designs met global standards and specifications for precision and durability.
