Experience

May 2025 - Sep 2025

5 months

Husum, Germany

Developed a software-based DMS framework to integrate QMS, with a special focus on meeting ISO 17025 and MEASNET + TR6 requirements, and also took part in external DAkkS audits
Prepared FMEAs, quality deviation reports, Ishikawa diagrams, and 5-Why reports for uncertainties in energy yield and WTGs
Identified critical variables (e.g., wind speed, wind direction, terrain) affecting uncertainty and assessed data quality to implement QA/QC measures for improving accuracy
Identified key sources of uncertainty in energy yield assessment (e.g., model assumptions, data variability) and evaluated the impact of uncertainties on energy yield forecasts
Systematically calibrated and validated the model using reference data (e.g., LiDAR) to reduce uncertainty while implementing continuous quality improvement processes (PDCA, RCA, SPC, FMEA) for ongoing optimization and refinement.
