I had the pleasure of working with Jose for 2 years at Proterra, where he served as a Manufacturing Engineer. During that time, I was consistently impressed by Jose's technical expertise, his attention to detail, and his commitment to excellence. As a Manufacturing Engineer at Proterra, Jose played a key role in ensuring that our manufacturing processes were optimized for efficiency and quality. He was a skilled problem solver who was able to identify issues quickly and find effective solutions. His ability to work collaboratively with others, including team members and cross-functional partners, was outstanding. Jose's technical expertise in manufacturing processes and materials was a valuable asset to the team. He was able to provide insights and recommendations that helped us improve our processes and achieve our goals. He was also an excellent communicator who was able to explain complex technical concepts in a clear and concise manner. In addition to his technical skills, Jose was a pleasure to work with. He was always willing to go the extra mile to ensure that projects were completed on time and to the highest standards. His positive attitude and dedication to his work were contagious, and he was an asset to the team in more ways than one. Overall, I highly recommend Jose as a Manufacturing Engineer. He is a talented professional who would be an asset to any organization. His technical skills, combined with his ability to work collaboratively with others, make him an excellent team player and a valuable contributor to any manufacturing engineering team.

Jose Padilla is someone that has both technical skill in manufacturing and the soft skills to communicate his ideas and build relationships. I have worked directly with Jose several times, enjoying each collaboration as we work to figure out the solution to what is in front of us. Most recently, we led an effort to update one of the calibration systems for production fixtures. this involved coordinating between production, quality, and engineering to organize and track various types of fixtures in one easy to use reporting system. Jose not only headed up much of the communication between teams, but in addition to accomplishing the system update, was able to recognize that of the 200+ fixtures needed to be accounted for, a significant portion were obsolete and needed to be removed from the line. Jose came up with criteria for valid fixtures and worked with the team to identify obsolete fixtures to be quarantined from the line. I enjoy to working with Jose because he is easy to collaborate with and is willing to both contribute new ideas and change his mind when evidence supports a different path. His rapport with the production team has been instrumental in multiple cases to discover root causes during bus builds and move to an evidence-based solution.
