Cranfield, England, United Kingdom
Aerospace and structures engineer focused on lightweight and composite structures, completing a double degree at Cranfield University and the University of Seville. I bring 6 months of industry experience as a Stress Engineering Intern at Capgemini Engineering, contributing to A321neo XLR certification activities and learning Airbus stress methodologies (HyperMesh/ISAMI). My core strengths are Structural Analysis and Finite Element Analysis (Abaqus, NASTRAN, Ansys Mechanical), with experience in Python automation to accelerate pre/post-processing, plus CATIA V5 and MATLAB for design and validation. I have led structures work as Head of Structures in a university rocketry team (10 months), delivering chamber–nozzle joint analyses and composite integration. Beyond that, I collaborated in the Airbus Sloshing Rocket Workshop, where our team ranked 2nd out of 42, and took part in the 23rd CVA Summer School. International exposure across Spain, Italy and the UK helps me thrive in multicultural teams.
Led a 6-member Structures team at the University of Seville’s rocketry association, introduced composites into a solid-propellant launcher, ran static and modal structural simulation campaigns and supported structural verification tests.
Performed FEA of combustion-chamber/nozzle joints for the launcher in Ansys Mechanical, validated propulsion interfaces and proved lower-grade bolts viable, cutting unit cost by 38%.
Gathered requirements for the EuRoC competition, contributed to the design of parachute release mechanisms, and coordinated with suppliers and sponsors to support the launcher's development.
‣ Performed simulations for the A321neo XLR certification project (S18 frames, skin and stringers), following Airbus methodologies and stress calculation sheets, by collaborating within a team of four, gaining experience with HyperMesh and ISAMI. ‣ Completed specialised training in NASTRAN and HyperMesh for space-structure analysis, including launcher acoustic analysis and satellite sinusoidal and random vibration analysis with SOL111, and applied Python macros to standardise pre/post-processing and improve the speed and reliability of certification analyses.
