Senior QA Automation Engineer

I build and maintain Python and Playwright automation frameworks for Schneider Electric enterprise Digital Twin and simulation platforms. I create modular Page Object Models and reusable components to automate end-to-end web workflows and improve suite maintainability.

I automate REST API and integration testing with Python and Postman, validating payloads, schemas, and microservice communication. I containerize test suites with Docker, integrate them into CI/CD pipelines, perform SQL-based MySQL data verification, and collaborate with developers on testability and quality practices.

Designed and improved products using Autodesk Inventor and SolidWorks, with responsibility for functionality, manufacturability, cost efficiency, technical documentation, drawings, revision control, and production support.

Led and supported prototype development, manufacturing trials, physical testing, and validation. Applied mechanical design principles, FMEA, finite element analysis, risk mitigation, and engineering standards to improve component performance and quality.

Optimized wiper-system assembly lines through line balancing, cycle-time management, Lean and Kaizen initiatives, scrap reduction, and capacity scaling. Served as a technical authority for assembly operations, including tightening and screwing technologies.

Led blister packaging line adaptation and validation, engineering changes, layout changes, and tooling-related improvements. Created PFMEAs, Control Plans, and standard operating instructions, and used 8D, Cm/Cmk, and Cp/Cpk studies to resolve production and quality issues.

Specialized in automotive assembly tightening systems, including programming electric and Wi-Fi smart screwdrivers and controlling torque, angle, and speed parameters for safety-critical joints. Monitored fastening data and traceability to maintain joint integrity and zero-defect production.

Performed process verification, resolved assembly bottlenecks, created operation sheets and standard operating procedures, and implemented quality improvements. Designed custom tools, jigs, fixtures, and machinery, identified automation opportunities, and managed technical evaluation and procurement of shop-floor tools.

Led and organized assembly operators in the automotive powertrain preparation zone, managing shift assignments, resource allocation, workplace organization, and adherence to production targets.

Applied 5S practices to improve workstation efficiency and ergonomics. Supervised engine and gearbox sub-assembly, monitored quality and safety compliance, tracked performance KPIs, and resolved operational issues involving tooling, materials, and production flow.
