Work History
Jigs & Tools Development Engineer
Airbus Aerostructures GmbH
09.2021 - Current
- Process Owner Delegate (POD): Led the cross-plant harmonization and redesign of the Jigs & Tools industrialization process following the company merger. Responsible for modeling the end-to-end process in ARIS to establish a unified landscape for the new ASA entity.
- Industrial System Design & Implementation: Architected and managed the rollout of the TOMAS Dashboard (Skywise/SAP) as a digital industrial system. This initiative optimized the procurement process, created end-customer transparency, and enabled data-driven bottleneck analysis to support production ramp-ups.
- Pragmatic Technology Integration (VR): Drove the introduction of VR for early-stage design validation of production layouts. Developed the workflow for transforming native 3D data into a simulated VR environment, ensuring the technology provided value-added integration without operational disruption.
- Process Automation & Efficiency Gains: Co-developed a parameterized design model with Airbus Spain to automate tool design, reducing associated annual costs
Junior Project Lead, Production-related Processes
Umlaut Engineering GmbH (Accenture)
