Work History

Process Engineering Technician

Tesla
08.2022 - Current


Powertrain S/X Battery Pack/Module: Aug. 2022 - Dec. 2024

Powertrain Cyber Pack/Array: Jan. 2023 - Apr. 2023

3/Y End-of-Line Finishing & Testing: Dec. 2024 - Current


Dedicated to the continuous enhancement and successful launch of high-caliber products, with a focus on optimizing yield and reducing wastage and scrap-cost. Being the cornerstone of first/final pass yield rates through the development and implementation of sustainable solutions, achieved via collaborative efforts with cross-functional teams including engineers, quality assurance, and maintenance personnel.


A pivotal aspect of bolstering first/final pass yield rates involves adeptly and efficiently managing non-conforming materials (NCM) by employing proficient root-cause analysis techniques to mitigate recurrence.


As a process engineering technician, we bridge the communication gap amongst a diverse array of teams, ensuring alignment of objectives and goals while maintaining project momentum.
