UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO
Research associate
My main reasons for leaving General Motors were my desires to move
abroad and to work in the research and development department of a global
company in the future. Also I was thrilled about the opportunity to work under
the supervision of a global expert in the field of fatigue and stress analysis, Dr.
G. Glinka. My research area was focused on the reliable estimation of fatigue
crack propagation in solid materials. While at University of Waterloo as a PhD
student /Research Associate I have accomplished the following:
•
•
•
•
•
Improved the UniGrow fatigue crack growth model
Proposed, developed and coded the 𝜌∗ search algorithm
Combined the Monte-Carlo method with fatigue life analysis
Performed fatigue and structural analysis for various consulting projects
Researched and analyzed available statistical fatigue crack growth data
During my time at University of Waterloo, I have also worked as a Teaching Assistant for following courses:
• Mechanical Design I (4 Terms)
• Fatigue and Fracture Analysis (3 Terms)
• Mechanical Behavior of Materials (1 Term)

GENERAL MOTORS
Supplier Quality Engineer
For almost three years which I have worked for the biggest car manufacturer in the world I had taken various responsibilities and worked on different
projects but in my main role as a Supplier Quality Engineer I have:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Assessed potential and current automotive tier-1 and tier-2 suppliers
Performed various audits at supplier facilities (PCPA, R@R, QSB etc.)
Followed-up on the development of new parts and engineering changes
Reviewed detailed drawings and technical specifications
Supervised Production Part Approval Process (PPAP)
Controlled development of the SQ documents (FMEA, Control Plan)
Participated in sourcing and prepared technical specifications
Organized customer-supplier problem solving teams
Being originally hired by General Motors Russia, I had two major temporary
assignments in Europe:
09/2008 - 02/2009 Advance SQ Department. Ruesselsheim, Germany
08/2009 - 09/2009 Launch support of the new Opel Astra. Gliwice, Poland
In addition to above duties, in July 2009 I was chosen to be a training coordinator for a supplier quality organization in General Motors Europe. In this role I
was responsible for
• Ensuring new engineers are properly trained
• Organizing and leading weekly training sessions
• Developing and rolling-out time management training

LLC 'Nevenergoprom'
Boiler Design Engineer
Part-time job in a small engineering consulting company during the last
year of my master program.
The project:
re-design of an existing steam boiler in order to implement
low-temperature vortex combustion technology
My role: developed and modeled different scenarios for the most efficient use
of coal by the proper positioning of the boiler burners using 3D modeling, FEA
and custom software
