Senior Mechanical Engineer with 10+ years of experience in safety-critical systems, specializing in thermal and structural analysis, simulation-driven design, and product development. My expertise focuses on transient and steady-state heat transfer, multiphysics modeling, and validation of complex engineering systems through test–analysis correlation. I have a strong background in: • Thermal modeling and simulation (CFD & FEA) • Structural analysis and durability assessment • Verification & Validation (V&V) of safety-critical systems • Failure analysis and root cause investigation • Requirement traceability and system engineering processes Throughout my career, I have led and contributed to the development of high-reliability systems in automotive R&D environments, including design optimization, testing, and validation under real-world operating conditions. I am particularly interested in applying my expertise to aerospace and defense systems, including: • Thermal management of high-performance systems • High-temperature and transient thermal environments Technical tools: ANSYS (Fluent, Mechanical), Abaqus, MATLAB, JavaScript, C#, Python
• Designed and developed safety-critical mechanical components considering transient thermal and structural loads • Performed thermal and structural simulations (CFD & FEA) to improve system reliability under dynamic operating conditions • Led verification and validation (V&V) activities aligned with system requirements, reducing design iteration cycles • Conducted test–analysis correlation to validate simulation models and improve prediction accuracy • Performed failure analysis and root cause investigation, contributing to design improvements and risk reduction • Managed requirement traceability and supported system engineering processes • Coordinated with global teams and suppliers to ensure design compliance and performance targets • Developed and digitalized engineering workflows using PowerApps, PowerBI, and scripting tools
• Designed and validated heavy-duty mechanical systems under structural and thermal loads • Performed structural analysis and simulation-driven design improvements • Conducted vehicle-level testing and correlated test data with simulation results • Led design verification activities and reported technical outcomes to senior management • Coordinated cross-functional teams including manufacturing and quality engineering • Contributed to performance optimization and durability improvements of load-carrying systems
• Designed and developed safety-critical restraint systems with focus on structural performance and reliability • Performed simulation and validation of mechanical components under regulatory and customer requirements • Led DFMEA and PFMEA activities to identify and mitigate potential failure modes • Conducted failure analysis and implemented corrective actions to improve product safety • Managed homologation processes and ensured compliance with international standards • Played an active role in R&D center establishment and audit processes • Led cross-functional engineering activities including design, testing, and validation
I served as the R&D manager by proxy.
• Mechanical design and mass production improvement • Manufacturing process follow-up and design optimization • Technical support to production and quality teams
