🚗 Hi everyone! I'm on the lookout for a new Technical Program Manager position in the Automotive Tech industry and would appreciate your support! Anything from a company name in Auto-Tech to a passionate car enthusiast, an intro to someone you know, or a comment for reach helps me in my search. As far back as I can remember, my fascination with anything that had an engine was evident. Growing up, I spent countless hours tinkering with model cars, attending car shows, begging to drive anything I could get my hands on, disassembling and fixing things in the garage, and absorbing every bit of knowledge I could about the inner workings of vehicles. It wasn't just a hobby; it was a passion that led me to a career in Engineering. As doors opened in my career, I found myself in the tech space. While I cherished engineering and the creative process, the tech space was new and exciting, but something was still missing. I yearned for a deeper connection to my first love: cars. Then it dawned on me that I could merge my experiences from both worlds. My recent journey at Quantum Auto-Tech has been enlightening. It reaffirmed my path and fueled my determination to pursue my next adventure in the automotive tech realm. Grateful for the journey so far, I'm excited to see where the road leads next. I've learned that when passion meets purpose, the possibilities are boundless. Let's chase dreams, fuel ambition, and drive change together! 🛣️🚀 #AutomotiveIndustry #ProgramManagement #PassionForCars #Opentowork #AutomotiveTech #Autofi #CarNow #CarsCommerce #TrueCar #GeneralMotors #Rivian #Mazda #Ford #Dodge #LucidMotors

Once upon a time in Fremont, there was a factory that could've been a sitcom set—GM's Fremont Assembly. Imagine a place where workers were so notorious for mischief, they had certificates not to work in other car plants! From Coke bottles stashed in car panels to more sick days than snow days in Alaska, it was chaos. But in 1984, #Toyota, the masters of efficiency and innovation, teamed up with GM to turn this comedy into a blockbuster. They introduced the #ToyotaProductionSystem, a slick method that made assembly lines look like dance routines. Toyota wasn't just fixing cars; they were transforming attitudes. They didn't just hire new staff; they put the original crew through #Toyota boot camp. Imagine the toughest drills in teamwork and quality control. The workers went from dodging supervisors to perfecting the art of car-making with ninja-like precision. By 1986, NUMMI was pumping out cars like the #Toyota #Corolla with the finesse of a sushi chef. What was once a factory of folly became a stage for automotive greatness. Fast forward to 2010, #NUMMI bid farewell with a standing ovation. But the story didn't end there. Enter Tesla, the wizards of electric dreams! They saw potential where others saw a closing curtain. They snapped up NUMMI and transformed it into the Tesla Fremont Factory, where #robots dance and cars hum with electric joy. 🚗⚡ Today, Tesla isn't just rewriting the script—they're crafting a future with electric vehicles like the iconic Model_S, Model_X, Model_3, and Model_Y. Looking back, this journey is a testament to the enduring impact of the #ToyotaProductionSystem—an approach that revolutionized not just manufacturing, but also how we think about #quality and #efficiency in all fields (🌟 #pharmaceuticals). P.S. Which car brand do you believe excels the most: #Toyota, General Motors, or Tesla? #LeanManagement #TPS #JIT #Quality #Manufacturing

📣 Cars from the Volkswagen Group have the best #quality ➡ Ok, this statement is rather subjective, you will say now. But I would like to confirm this with two things: 1️⃣ Yesterday I was in a car dealership of an Asian #automotive manufacturer. When I took a closer look at the #FlushAndGap #dimensions, I said to myself once again: this would not have happened with a #German car manufacturer. I only see it that way as a #measurement technician? 😊 2️⃣ The excerpt from the #RPS learning program shown (do you know this too?) is now a quarter of a century old. At that time, #Volkswagen made it available to its employees ❕ IN THREE LANGUAGES ❕ ( just one of many actions taken by #VW ) to teach their employees and suppliers the basic skills and to ensure sustainable quality awareness. ➡ Since then, I have always brought out the RPS learning program when I want to explain to a new young colleague what a reference point system is. Thank you very much, Volkswagen, for this important pioneering work. #messtechnik #metrology #3dmesstechnik #automotiveindustry #engineering #automation #3dmodelling #construction #industry #prototype #hanselko #Rosenheim #Landshut #programming #digitalmanufacturing #maschinenbau #3dscanning #3dscan #metrology #3dscanner #qualityinspection #reverseengineering #inspection

🌟TALENT TIP🌟 We asked our Product Specialists what they wish they knew about being a Product Specialist or what a common misconception of the job was before they started with us at P … Here’s what they had to say! What are some common misconceptions about being a Product Specialist or something that you want to know before applying!? #productspecialist #automotive #autoshow #pplusproud #talenttips #talenttiptuesday

Random car fact I just learned . . . Did you know that DeLoreans where only produced for a short two year window from 1981-1982? The only reason many folks (like me) thought they were more popular was because of their featured role in Back To The Future. Apparently, they were actually pretty mediocre cars when it came to quality and performance and never sold well. But here's another DeLorean fact I recently learned . . . They are set to launch an all-electric version, Alpha5, at some point this year. Would be really cool to see that iconic look back on the road which will presumably would have addressed their prior shortcomings. Am I the last to know this? Or did you know how limited the production was of these cars? #TheEngineeringMentor #engineering #engineers #mentoring #engineeringlife #SREngineeringAndConsulting Btw, I'm an open networker, so don't be shy if you want to reach out to follow/connect
