Experience

• Production Manager Mimal · Full-time Dec 2018 – Sep 2026 7 yrs 9 mos Lębork, Poland Managed production operations involving approximately 45–50 employees, combining manufacturing engineering, CNC machining, process optimization, and technical problem-solving.
  
  Key responsibilities and achievements:
  
  - Analyzed manufacturing processes, machining times, production volumes, and machine utilization.
  - Evaluated approximately 500 technical drawings and manufacturing processes to support CNC machine investment decisions.
  - Identified potential machining time savings exceeding 6,000 hours annually through CNC modernization and process improvements.
  - Conducted make-or-buy analyses, identifying significant cost reduction opportunities through alternative manufacturing methods and subcontracting.
  - Improved manufacturability by reducing unnecessary operations, simplifying processes, and coordinating design and technology changes.
  - Supported manufacturing process planning, tooling selection, production fixtures, and CNC implementation.
  - Coordinated production with engineering, purchasing, quality control, maintenance, and external suppliers.
  
  My focus was on solving practical manufacturing problems by combining engineering knowledge with production costs, machine capabilities, and process efficiency.
• Mechanical Designer Mimal · Full-time Jan 2018 – Jun 2026 8 yrs 5 mos Lębork, Poland Mechanical design and preparation of technical documentation for industrial products and components.
  
  Key responsibilities:
  
  - Creating 2D manufacturing drawings and 3D CAD models of mechanical parts and assemblies.
  - Preparing technical documentation for machining, welding, and assembly.
  - Evaluating manufacturability and selecting suitable production methods.
  - Adapting designs to available machines, tooling, and manufacturing capabilities.
  - Working directly with production teams to resolve technical issues.
  - Improving designs based on prototype testing and initial production feedback.
  
  My work combined mechanical design with practical manufacturing knowledge, focusing on reliable and cost-effective production.
• Mechanical Design Department Manager Mimal · Full-time Jan 2018 – Nov 2022 4 yrs 10 mos Lębork, Poland Managed the mechanical design department, combining product development, manufacturing engineering, and technical documentation with practical production requirements.
