Umut KÖSE

I am a high-achieving Mechanical Engineering graduate (June 2026), consistently ranked first in my faculty, with a strong combination of academic excellence, hands-on engineering experience, and leadership skills. My education is built on a solid theoretical foundation and reinforced through real-world engineering applications, industrial internships, student-led technical projects, and international work experience.

During my summer internship at Gaziulaş, I actively took part in tram maintenance and repair operations, gaining hands-on experience with hydraulic brake units (HBU), braking mechanisms, component disassembly and assembly, fault detection, OP-series parking brake systems, and preventive maintenance procedures. This experience significantly strengthened my understanding of mechanical systems and advanced my analytical thinking and problem-solving abilities.

I am the Founder and President of the YUM-CAR Automotive Student Society at Aydın Adnan Menderes University, where I lead engineering-focused initiatives including CAD (SolidWorks), CAE (ANSYS), manufacturing techniques, technical site visits, and electric vehicle design workshops. Through this role, I have developed strong leadership, project management, technical communication, and team coordination skills while building an active engineering community from the ground up.

In addition to my academic and technical background, I participated in the Work and Travel program in the United States, where I worked in high-paced service and sales environments. This experience enhanced my communication skills, customer-oriented mindset, adaptability, and global work discipline, allowing me to operate confidently in multicultural and dynamic settings.

In summer 2026, I will represent my team in Texas at an international rocket engineering competition, further expanding my experience in high-performance engineering environments, interdisciplinary teamwork, and competitive project development.

I am highly proficient in SolidWorks, SolidCAM, ANSYS, Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Office applications, and advanced PC systems. I combine strong technical capability with high marketing and presentation skills, enabling me to communicate complex engineering ideas clearly, attract attention, and contribute value not only technically but also strategically.

With a solution-oriented mindset, I aim to apply my skills in mechanical design, automotive systems, hydraulic and pneumatic technologies, braking systems, simulation, and performance-driven engineering projects, focusing on innovation, efficiency, and measurable impact.
