Gorka Galdeano

Gorka Galdeano has extensive work experience in various engineering roles. Gorka currently works at WinGD - Winterthur Gas & Diesel as a Project Manager in Fuel Injection and Hydraulics, where they are part of a skilled and multicultural team dedicated to 3D modeling, hydraulic simulations, and general expertise. Gorka played a crucial role in resolving bottlenecks in the company's drawing delivery capacity, which resulted in delays and tension between departments. Gorka successfully clarified workflows, communicated capacity conflicts to internal clients, and set new deadlines for projects.

Prior to their current role, Gorka worked at Liebherr Group as a Technical Project Leader in Injection Systems R&D. Gorka'sresponsibilities included the development of actuators for diesel injectors, conducting experiments to determine failure points, and collaborating with external suppliers.

Before joining Liebherr Group, Gorka worked at Continental as a PH.D. Researcher in Mechatronics. Gorka conducted research at the company's industrial installations, focusing on piezo-actuators. Gorka built a self-designed test bench for electromechanical measurements, proposed physical modeling for aging of soft piezo electric actuators, and developed solutions for breakage through specific testing.

Gorka's early career included a role as a Project Engineer at CAF (Construcciones y Auxiliar de Ferrocarriles) and an internship as a Calibration Engineer at Bosch.

Gorka Galdeano completed their education as follows:

From 2012 to 2017, Gorka Galdeano attended TU Bergakademie Freiberg, where they obtained a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree in Piezoelectric Ceramic Actuators.

From 2003 to 2008, they studied at IQS Barcelona and graduated as a Chemical and Mechanical Engineer. The field of study for this degree is unspecified.

Additionally, Gorka Galdeano has acquired two additional certifications. Gorka obtained a Project Management Professional (PMP) certification from the Project Management Institute in November 2021. Gorka also holds a Klebfachingenieur - European Adhesive Engineer certification from the EWF - European Welding Federation, although the exact date of obtaining this certification is not provided.
