Lead Engineer - Applied Research & Technology

• Led a 2-person team to build a digital-modelling product across two manufacturing sites-brownfield and greenfield, projecting a 5% productivity gain and freeing capacity without added headcount
• Built a RAG-based assistant to retrieve standardized digital-factory SOPs, enabling natural-language querying of work procedures instead of manual document search, cutting procedure lookup time by 40%
• Directed a cross-functional discovery workshop to select a pilot use case and define standard procedures, delivering the organization's first standardized template and roadmap, cutting ramp-up time for future initiatives
• Developed an agentic workflow that automates key setup steps in digital twin creation for the Power Drive Unit assembly line, reducing manual model-build time by 30%, keeping human in loop
• Built the business case for a new simulation initiative and presented it at an industry-wide technology symposium, securing cross-functional leadership approval to scale the pilot from a single team into an org-wide rollout
• Steered a $200K cross-border initiative with UK and Italy teams to build a digital compliance-tracking solution, positioning the business ahead of EU sustainability regulation for an early-mover advantage
• Spearheaded a Process Twin initiative under Industry 4.0, using data-driven simulation to resolve inefficiencies before implementation, cutting variation hours ~40% and boosting throughput 20%
• Owned the Virtual Factory product backlog, writing epics/user stories with clear acceptance criteria that cut sprint spillover by ~20% and raised sprint predictability to ~80% through refinement, planning, and retros
