About

Mechatronics engineer with experience in the automotive industry, I have worked in imporant projects related with NVH and received awards and patents by always doing my best and support the team as much as I can to deliver with great quality. I have been team leader of the NVH model build team, role in which I supported my team to deliver their programs. I wrote several macros to improve the quality and at the same time reduce the time it takes to do certain processes. I was involved in high importance projects that would affect the global NVH process at Ford Motor Company in which I had to test a new software, give feedback to the company that was programming the software and create and test new procedures to build full vehicle NVH models. My partners know me for being creative and always support others, someone in which they can trust to get the job done and to improve processes. I studied mechatronics at Tec de Monterrey with specialization in the autmotive industry (topics that I studied in RWTH Aachen and Esslingen University of Applied Sciences) I just finished my masters degree in Project Management with a double degree from GISMA Bussiness School and Arden University. Advanced: Microsoft Office, Nx, Teamcenter, Altair, VSIGN. Intermediate: ANSA, MetaPost, CATIA (CAD), Matlab (Simulink), C++, Circuit Maker 2000, PSpice AD, FluidSim. Basic: Adams View, Fluent, CorelDraw, Labview
