Oh, this automotive industry…

Subcontractor-Tier 2, supplier-Tier 1, and finally OEM. When I was a student, I dreamed of becoming an engineer who develops cars. The path to this goal was winding. For some time now, I have been working on cars, and soon these cars will premiere in Poland!

It wasn’t until 3 years after graduation that I got my foot in the door of the automotive industry. I landed at a subcontractor and made electric motors for sunroofs and other systems in cars.

The next stage in the development of my career as a vibroacoustics engineer was turbochargers. These components are already a direct supplier of components to car manufacturers. This was a higher technological level, with many challenges in the field of vibroacoustic research and development. Seven years is a significant amount of time to build a laboratory, develop methods, and conduct tests leading to the improvement of turbocharger acoustics quality.

The next 4 years involved developing my brand – Vibroacoustics Engineer (NVH Engineer). This was a whole range of projects in various industries. The majority of it was IT, working on two apps and one program. There were also power generators, sunroofs, an e-commerce lingerie store, a large catering project, heat pumps, fans and heat recovery ventilators, and others.

In 2024, the cherry on top appeared – literally and figuratively. Chery Automobile is a Chinese OEM. I’m doing what I’ve long wanted to do: testing and optimizing vibroacoustics in cars. Together with colleagues from Chery Europe, we are introducing Chinese brands to the European market.

The Omoda 5 will debut in Poland in May, and the Jaecoo 7 will follow soon after the Omoda. https://www.omodaglobal.com/

I’ve fallen in love with public speaking

I have had 5 public speaking appearances in 2022. Once when I worked in a corporation I liked to train and show my papers to clients. My presentations were technical, sometimes very long. Mostly about the noise, vibration – NVH engineering. I never had the opportunity to prepare a presentation in the form of a startup pitch, a product pitch, a sales pitch, a marketing pitch, for a product that is not yet there and to speak in front of a large group of people.
