Aaron Manley

Experienced application engineering and project leader with a proven record of guiding international teams through complex product development lifecycles. I’ve successfully delivered projects for major OEMs, led development and launch gateway deliverables, DFMEA and APQP activities, and collaborated with technical experts across Europe, Japan, China and North America.

I have over 20 years of international engineering experience across Europe and Asia, working for global Tier 1 suppliers in the automotive and transportation sectors. My background includes product development, emissions control systems, and new technology introduction, including early-stage carbon capture projects. I’ve led cross-functional engineering teams, managed multimillion-euro budgets, and delivered complex OEM programs from concept through to launch. Having worked extensively in Japan and Germany, I bring strong technical, cultural, and communication skills, and I am now focused on contributing to innovation-driven industries such as energy, renewables, and sustainable mobility.

First-Class Honours Bachelor’s Degree in Manufacturing Engineering from Technological University Dublin, with strong grounding in mechanical design, production systems, project and quality management.
