Manager - Material Flow Design @ Tesla

About

I manage a team of mechanical, industrial, and simulation engineers to design future factories at Tesla. In the overall factory strategy, our group specializes in solutions for material handling and overall design of the site. Discrete event simulation software such as FlexSim and AnyLogic are key components to our designs, along with a suite of 2D/3D CAD tools.
