Emir Kalyoncuoğlu

Koç Yaşa Çok Yaşa Medikal A.Ş., Senior Engineer

I have been working in the field of structural design since 2017. Thanks to the projects I have been involved in, I have knowledge about the white goods, medical and a little automotive industry. At the same time, I have been mentoring students at universities since 2020.

I started my career as a structural design engineer at Arçelik dryer plant in 2017. During the 2 years I spent here, I took part in the production stages of the newly commissioned projects. I also took an active role in packaging group and back sealing element designs. In 2019, I was transferred to Arçelik central R&D department. During the 2.5 years I spent here, I had the opportunity to take part in different projects. Through these projects, I worked in the fields of small household appliances, automotive and medical devices. In 2020, I took part in the respirator project that started with the pandemic. Following this project, I had the opportunity to work in projects in the medical field by taking part in the high-flow oxygen device project. After two medical projects, with the decision taken by Koç Holding, I switched to the newly established Koç Yaşa Çok Yaşa Medikal A.Ş. company in April 2022. I am actively working on the respiratory group. With my transition to this company, I took an active role in processes such as laboratory setup, R&D office setup, as well as structural design works. I have been working as a scrum master since October 2022.
