About

Experienced design engineer within the aerospace and automotive industries with very strong CATIA V6 (3DX) and CATIA V5 skills together with associated PLM systems. I have recent wide ranging experience in Airbus aircraft interiors and Airbus defence and space satellite structures design. I have worked extensively as a designer, lead designer and as an approved checker on large complex aerospace programs. I would consider my knowledge of composites, moulded parts, additive layer manufacture, machined parts, and complex surface form designs to be key skills.
