Mechanical engineer and project leader for the 2017 Acura NSX Supercar, Clement D’Souza has been featured in the latest episode of “What Makes A Honda is Who Makes A Honda”. D’Souza is originally from India and has worked as a mechanical engineer for Honda of America Mfg., Inc., for more than 26 years. Over time he has had a number of amazing opportunities with the company, including his most recent venture as the project leader of the new NSX, the only supercar built in America.
D’Souza says that he joined Honda after coming to the U.S. as a result of his love for motorcycles and his desire to learn more about the manufacturing process of bikes and cars. When he was presented with the chance to be project leader for the NSX, he jumped at it because it meant being able to be involved in the development of a whole new vehicle that would be the first of its kind. D’Souza feels that one of the most important components to his overall success in work and life is teamwork, a mentality that applies to work at Honda as well as his former passion for playing field hockey.
D’Souza emphasizes teamwork as crucial to the project’s success. “The number one thing for me is the teamwork, relying on your teammates and the team around you, working off the same rhythm and the same passion to a common goal,” he said.
