About Michael Reytsman

I’m a hands-on mechanical engineer with 20+ years of experience developing propulsion systems, NVH solutions, and electrification components at OEM and Tier 1 levels.My career has evolved at the intersection of technical innovation and cross-functional leadership—from developing patented thermal systems and exhaust technologies, to guiding cross-team integration efforts for electrified propulsion and launch-critical hardware.I’ve led engineering initiatives for Ford Performance, DOE-funded research programs, and Tier 1 suppliers—managing system-level performance, timing, cost, and manufacturability across complex program cycles.Whether solving deep technical challenges or aligning suppliers and teams across functions, I bring an analytical mindset with a focus on execution and practical delivery.I\'m open to leadership or principal engineering roles where I can continue to drive real-world solutions across advanced automotive, mobility, and energy systems.
