Antonio Contreras

•Provide technical expertise on the design, integration, and optimization of components within internal combustion drivetrains, ensuring performance, reliability, and compliance with industry standards. •Increased FAI volume by implementing a grouping strategy based on functional similarities of automotive components, ensuring compliance with ISO9001/IATF 16949 standards. •Prepared and maintained documentation (Corrective Action Reports, Product Analysis, Customer Complaints, Warranty Returns, Root Cause Analysis) for suppliers and customers. •Designed test methods and fabricated fixtures to verify new products met OEM standards. •Analyzed supplier engineering drawings, test reports, and performed material verifications (FTIR, XRF) •Developed an automated testing machine for cycle testing premium window regulators.

•Diagnosed mechanical and electrical issues in both naturally aspirated and forced induction vehicles •Repaired and manufactured electrical harnesses for chassis and engine management. (E.g. Installing modules, routing relays with aftermarket fans & repairing electrical shorts) •Examined internal combustion engines for points of failure and provided an adequate plan to rebuild or replace the engine. •Modified drivetrains to maximize handling in performance-oriented vehicles. (E.g. aftermarket parts + DME tuning) •Reinforced subframes and chassis through the use of stitch welding (E.g. gussets and cages)
