Experience

• Workshop and Production Manager - Low Voltage switchgear and controlgear assemblies Sistems Enterprise S.A · Full-time Apr 2021 – Present 4 yrs 9 mos El Salvador As a Workshop Technical Manager, I lead the production and assembly of low-voltage (LV) panels, including distribution boards, MCCs, and control panels. My focus is to ensure operational excellence, product quality, and team efficiency.
  
  Production Management: I lead the planning and management of assembly processes, ensuring efficiency and timely completion. I am responsible for resource management, optimizing the use of materials and tools to maximize workshop productivity.
  
  Quality Control and Regulatory Compliance: I implement rigorous quality controls, ensuring that every assembly meets the highest international standards and regulations (IEC, NFPA, UL). I proactively identify and resolve technical issues, minimizing delays and guaranteeing product reliability.
  
  Team Leadership: I am responsible for the training and development of personnel, improving their skills in assembly techniques and safety protocols. This fosters a safer and more productive work environment.
  
  Continuous Improvement: I actively participate in the continuous improvement of assembly processes, implementing new methodologies that result in greater production efficiency and quality.
• Adjunct Professor (or Part-time Lecturer) Universidad Don Bosco · Part-time Jan 2020 – Present 6 yrs El Salvador Adjunct Professor (or Part-time Lecturer) at the School of Electronics within the Faculty of Engineering, where I taught courses on Industrial Control Systems Design, Industrial Measurement Systems Design, and Industrial Electronic Systems Design for students in the Mechatronics Engineering and Automation Engineering programs.
• Designer Engineer - Electrical & Mechanical Siemens AG · Full-time Nov 2016 – Apr 2021 4 yrs 5 mos El Salvador As a Design Engineer at SIEMENS, I was responsible for the engineering of electrical and mechanical schematics for low-voltage panels, ensuring full compliance with IEC and ANSI standards. My role was focused on providing the most efficient solution for each client by implementing cutting-edge technologies and developing safety logic to protect both the product and the operator. Additionally, I collaborated in project management, meeting delivery schedules, and coordinating key design aspects such as forced ventilation, load distribution, and the functionality of I/O and PLC systems.
• Engineering Manager - Workshop CAM Siemens AG · Full-time Nov 2016 – Apr 2021 4 yrs 5 mos El Salvador As an Engineering Department Head at SIEMENS, I led the design and engineering of low voltage (LV) distribution panels and motor control centers (MCCs), ensuring full compliance with global ANSI and IEC standards. I was also responsible for managing electrical and mechanical engineering for system integration projects, overseeing every phase from conceptualization to in-plant assembly, routine testing, and final acceptance.
  
  Furthermore, I was instrumental in implementing quality, safety, and environmental management systems, fostering a culture of continuous improvement in project management. By supervising over 50 projects annually, I optimized design processes, which significantly enhanced the efficiency of engineering reviews and approvals.
  
  To boost our performance, I spearheaded the implementation of EPLAN, a CAE tool. This initiative successfully reduced engineering times and automated the generation of crucial reports, including parts lists and component labeling files. This not only made my team's work more efficient but also directly reduced factory assembly times, positively impacting overall production.
