I managed all stages of the design process for a semi-automatic system that controls the tractor's gearshift. The process started by generating ideas for various components, parts, assemblies, and subassemblies. It concludes with the production of blueprints, dimensions, tolerances, prototypes, and documentation about the results.
I created and applied new components and modules to replace old parts and systems, which improved the performance of the equipment, extended its lifespan, and increased customer satisfaction.
I collaborated with manufacturing departments, subcontractors, suppliers, and clients to resolve complex problems.
I was accountable for creating innovative types of pneumatic equipment, in both the head design office and the headquarters.
I created test plans for initial versions of products. This meant getting the technical details right with customers and outlining what contractors needed to do. I looked for the right tools, bargained for prices, ordered the first models, and checked that suppliers were doing things correctly.
I guided and helped the design team, supporting and training newer members.
I built strong engineering groups by being really good at talking to people and showing the right way to do things.
I talked to manufacturers in other countries to make sure they followed the rules. FESTO, MOSCOW, RUSSIA, JULY, 2014 – APRIL, 2017
