• Established scalable practices aligning engineering, quality and operations around ownership and milestones.

Technical Program Manager / Supplier Quality Engineer

Supplier development and outsourcing for Model S/X high- and low-voltage electrical distribution during the production ramp.

• Sourced and negotiated two new dedicated supplier production sites for high-voltage components, then led their build-up and ramp to maturity and production readiness.
• Moved the high-voltage sub-assemblies I owned out of the Fremont factory to those sites, freeing floor space for vehicle assembly.
• Certified new manufacturing processes across global sites, covering HV/LV harnesses, battery cable systems and safety circuits.

Supplier Development & Outsourcing Engineer

Supplier development for the electrical commodity across Ford and Lincoln assembly sites in the Americas: 12-volt harnesses and low- and high-voltage components from about 12 suppliers.

• Held supplier leadership accountable for quality and delivery, translating product specifications into manufacturing readiness plans.
• Led multiple manufacturing transfers with zero production interruptions.
• Contributed to high-voltage manufacturing processes later adopted by leading EV manufacturers.
