Description:

The EE Quality Plant Engineering Leader (QPEL) ensures customer satisfaction and plant efficiency by driving warranty convergence within the electric and electronic area, supporting internal quality convergence in the manufacturing plant, and collaborating with Supplier Quality on plant‑related topics. The role coordinates product and process evolutions during serial life (mass production and windows) and provides support during plant launch activities.

Main tasks:

• Monitoring and reporting warranty KPIs for serial‑life products.
• Supporting the resolution of technical issues, both design‑related and supplier‑related.
• Developing corrective actions to reduce warranty KPIs and improve production efficiency

Notes:

Modena plant involved in serial‑life production of MC20, Granturismo, and Grancabrio.

Description:

Manage the full testing lifecycle for Lamborghini‑designed ECUs, with a primary focus on the Infotainment system. Testing activities range from low‑level integration testing (BUS communication, BAP, CAN, FlexRay, LIN, hardwired signals, power‑supply checks) to high‑level validation, including HMI and full‑feature testing. Depending on requirements, tests are performed on vehicles, integrated test benches, or automated test benches.

Main tasks:

• Component testing and validation across multiple integration levels.
• Test environment setup and configuration.
• Writing test cases, executing tests, and documenting results.
• Reporting, tracking, and managing issues to drive solutions or specification updates.

Main tools:

CANalyzer/CANoe, CAPL, electrical measurement tools (multimeter, oscilloscope), Python, bus loggers, Office suite, KPM, JIRA.

Notes:

Activities focused on Revuelto and Temerario projects.

Description:

Managed the full testing lifecycle for vehicle ECUs, with a focus on powertrain system ECUs such as Engine Control Modules, Transmission Control Modules, Electrical Drives, and Vehicle Dynamics Control Modules. Worked across conventional and hybrid/electric powertrain systems, verifying subsystem integration within the overall vehicle architecture. Ensured compliance with technical specifications and correct system behavior under a wide range of operating conditions. Activities included both in‑vehicle testing and test bench operations.

Main activities:

• Performing integration test activities across multiple vehicle subsystems, with emphasis on powertrain ECUs.
• Setting up dedicated integration test environments
• Writing test cases, executing tests, and compiling detailed reports.
• Reporting, tracking, and managing issues to drive solutions or specification updates.
• Conducting driving activities for test execution when required.

Main tools:

CANalyzer, Polarion (PolarMa), ControlDesk, electrical measurement tools (multimeter, oscilloscope, DEWESoft, logic analyzer), Office suite.

Notes:

Maserati validation activities carried out on Grecale, Granturismo projects.

Additional secondary activities performed for other Capgemini clients, including:

• Eldor Corporation — high‑level system requirements verification.
• Ferrari — test bench setup.
• Umbra Group — automatic test system verification.

Description:

Contributed to the development of the new battery pack and coordinated the design and production of the vehicle wiring harness. The project aimed to maximize performance and reliability while maintaining cost‑effectiveness. Activities included preliminary studies, sponsor research, bill‑of‑materials creation, order management, component assembly, and system integration. Responsibilities focused on the electrical and thermal sizing of battery‑pack busbars and on coordinating the development, validation, and production of the new electrical architecture and harness.

Main avtivities:

• Contributing to the design and development of the 7.2 kWh Li‑ion battery pack for the 2020/2021 season.
• Coordinating the design and development of the vehicle wiring harness for the 2020/2021 Formula SAE car.
• Supporting integration, validation, and production activities for the new electrical architecture.

Main tools:

EasyEDA / KiCad, MATLAB, SolidWorks, COMSOL, Zuken E3.
