These experiences have enabled me to develop a comprehensive understanding of product development, engineering processes, quality requirements, and customer expectations. My professional background includes positions as Design Manager, Senior Validation Expert, and Validation Expert and Business Developer. I have led technical activities, improved validation methods, supported complex engineering projects, and worked closely with multidisciplinary teams to deliver reliable, cost-effective solutions. Throughout my career, I have focused on continuous improvement, performance optimization, and problem-solving. For example, I contributed to reducing costs by 30% on a cable subsystem at Kongsberg Automotive and improving validation processes that helped reduce product failure rates by 30%. My expertise includes NVH, reliability engineering, Design and Process Validation (DV/PV), Value Analysis and Value Engineering (VAVE), Lean Six Sigma, and structured problem-solving methodologies such as Toyota A3.
