Project Management Consultant within Volvo Group’s Vehicle Engineering organization, leading global product development activities and coordinating multidisciplinary engineering teams across Brazil, Sweden, and the United States. Experienced in vehicle integration, powertrain-related programs, technical feasibility studies, risk management, and cross-functional project execution, bridging product development, manufacturing, and business strategy to deliver complex engineering solutions.
Vehicle Architecture Intern within Volvo Group’s Strategy & Vehicle Architecture organization, supporting the development of future heavy-duty truck platforms through technical pre-studies, feasibility assessments, and vehicle integration analyses. Collaborated with global engineering teams across Sweden, the United States, and Brazil to evaluate architecture concepts, system-level trade-offs, and product strategies, contributing to early-phase development and long-term platform planning.
Led a BAJA SAE Brazil competition team composed of more than 30 members across multiple engineering disciplines, coordinating the design, development, testing, and validation of an off-road racing vehicle. Served as Scrum Master while implementing project management and continuous improvement methodologies including Agile, PDCA, 5S, and 5W2H. Developed and executed a continuous improvement roadmap for the vehicle, introducing performance KPIs, component durability tracking, and data-driven design decisions. Under my leadership, the team achieved its best result in program history, securing 6th place overall at the 28th BAJA SAE Brazil National Competition and 1st place in the Technical Report Competition through a comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment and carbon footprint study.
Contributed to the design, structural validation, and manufacturing of the off-road vehicle chassis and roll cage, utilizing SolidWorks and Ansys for CAD modeling and finite element analysis (FEA). Led ergonomic evaluations using CATIA to optimize cockpit packaging, driver positioning, safety, and vehicle operability under competition conditions. Additionally, participated in vehicle concept development and visual identity creation, helping establish the overall design direction and technical concept of the prototype.
Conducted undergraduate research in the Oil & Gas industry through a Petrobras-sponsored project focused on drilling fluid displacement efficiency. Developed CFD models, computational meshes, and numerical simulations to evaluate fluid replacement processes in oil well drilling scenarios. Supported the design and expansion of an experimental test bench, participated in rheological and validation testing, and analyzed results to identify cost-effective and high-performance operational solutions. Presented technical findings through reports and project reviews.
