She overextendsherself with her creative brain, which sometimes results in conflict and may impact project timelines. Sham -He's the principalengineer. Hetends to be quiet, a bit more introverted and needs a clear set of instructionsand structureto perform his work. He is the designer and will do all drawings and implementation of componentsof the vehicle. Heis also extremely thorough and detailed, to make sure that all things work, work again, and work again. Critical thinking,however,isn't his strongest attribute, as he keeps his eye on tasks and only his tasks, so sometimes struggles to think outside the boxand work with other team members.Sahar -is strong in procurementand sourcing -they are realistic, a good negotiator,in what can and cannot be done -they're organized and able to think critically to achieve solutions for problems that arise. They know where everyone else is at the project to know when to procure specific components. Sahar is integrated closely across all other members of the team to make sure timelines are not delayed.Rafih is the go getter and key sales member of the team.He has a strong sales background and is very good at convincing others onanything and everything. He's data driven and takes ownership on tasks with ease.
