Daniel Kis

I am a Mechanical Engineering student at Hanze University of Applied Sciences with a strong passion for design, manufacturing, and process optimization. My experience spans hands-on engineering work, CAD modeling, and data-driven problem-solving, with a particular focus on additive & subtractive manufacturing, technical drawing, and material selection.

Currently, I am a Mechanical Engineering Intern at Dana Incorporated’s Off-Highway Factory, where I have been involved in process optimization, tooling redesign, fluid management solutions, and production line enhancements. This role has strengthened my practical engineering skills, ability to work in fast-paced environments, and proficiency with software such as Creo, Excel and MES software.

Beyond my technical expertise, I thrive in multicultural and dynamic environments. Growing up in Doha, I was exposed to a wide range of cultures, which has made me adaptable, open-minded, and highly collaborative. My teamwork and leadership skills have been further developed through engineering projects, including designing a mobile salon for Barber Brigade, optimizing energy efficiency for a historic church, and improving Philips' SpeedPro Max vacuum cleaner design.

I am always looking for new challenges in mechanical design, manufacturing, and process engineering—where I can apply my skills to drive innovation and efficiency.
