Senior Automotive Technician
Jan 2021 - now
- As workstream lead, diagnosed vehicle concerns using driver reports, visual inspection, scan data, service history, and test results; confirmed the fault before recommending parts or labor.
- With responsibility for the review standard, performed oil, lubrication, tire, brake, battery, fluid, and scheduled maintenance to manufacturer procedures; returned vehicles with completed checks and recorded service evidence.
- As workstream lead, repaired mechanical and electrical faults with tool control, specifications, torque values, and post-repair testing; verified that the original concern was resolved without introducing a new safety issue.
- Compared diagnostic trouble codes with live sensor readings, confirmed the failed component through the service-manual test, and completed a post-repair road test before returning the vehicle.
- Owned an electrical diagnosis using approved repair procedures and voltage measurements, resolved an intermittent connector fault and completed the post-repair road-test checklist.
- Published maintenance handoff notes using verified fault codes, reduced repeat diagnostic requests by 20% and retained the exact tests supporting the repair decision.

- Reviewed repeat repairs by symptom, diagnostic path, part, technician notes, and quality-check result; aligned review standards and decision owners across the participating teams. Working with partner teams, updated diagnostic guidance for the failure patterns most likely to recur.
- Recorded the customer’s complaint and operating conditions before diagnosis, checked the service history, and explained the verified repair scope to the service advisor before ordering parts.
- Verified a repair with a post-service inspection under the conditions described on the job card, checked for stored fault codes, and explained any remaining advisory item separately from the completed repair.

- Repaired mechanical and electrical faults with tool control, specifications, torque values, and post-repair testing; aligned review standards and decision owners across the participating teams
- Built a training fault case from public service information, mapped symptoms to possible causes and selected diagnostic checks; recorded what each result would rule out before proposing a repair.
- Prepared a repair-verification checklist covering the original complaint, required specifications and a final safety check; distinguished a completed bench exercise from a customer vehicle released to service.
- Owned the training fault diagnosis using measured voltage and service specifications, resolved a simulated connector fault and completed a repair-verification checklist on the bench.
