Static Stress Engineer @ Airbus

About

Senior FEA/CAE/Stress Analysis Engineer with 9 years of experience in both the automotive and aerospace industries. Aerospace Experience: Evaluated strength and fatigue analysis for the Latch and Hinge Beam of the 777X thrust reverser, assessing different design iterations and load loops. Conducted stress analysis through Finite Element Analysis (FEA), classical hand calculations, and Boeing proprietary tools to validate design changes. Supported the Boeing 737-800BCF program, providing structural substantiation for design modifications. Evaluated Product Revision Records (PRRs) for compliance with aircraft structural integrity standards. Extensive experience in strength, weld, and fatigue analysis (crack initiation and propagation) for static frames in aircraft engines. Successfully managed the concept phase of the product lifecycle, evaluating design iterations and ensuring on-time delivery by efficiently managing simulation resources. Strong expertise in compiling and documenting analysis results for clear communication during internal and external stakeholder meetings. Effectively handled non-conformances requiring Class 1 and Class 2 changes through structural simulation. Skills: Patran/Nastran, Boeing proprietary tools for stress analysis, CATIA V5, Ansys APDL, Hyperworks (Hypermesh and Hyperview), Python, Cumfat, Nasgro, PLM-Enovia, Teamcenter, SAP, NX for defeaturing. Mentoring new hires. Automotive Experience: Specialized in creep and thermo-mechanical fatigue (TMF) analysis of turbomachinery components. Streamlined the TMF process using the DFSS (Design for Six Sigma - Green Belt) tool. Proficient in thermal and structural simulations for turbine modules (rotating components) and conducted CFD analysis to support thermal simulations. Performed fatigue life predictions using the in-house tool, TFAT. Skills: Ansys Workbench, Ansys CFX, ANSA, Python, TFAT, DFSS Six Sigma, PLM-Enovia, CATIA for defeaturing.
