26 yrs
Croatia
Advanced Machine Design: 26+ years of end-to-end development of special-purpose machinery (Sondermaschinenbau). I handle everything from initial kinematic concepts to final production-ready documentation.
Predictive Engineering (ANSYS/FEA): I specialize in using ANSYS to conduct structural, linear analyses. My goal is to "fail on screen, not on the shop floor," saving clients thousands in prototyping and warranty costs.
Design for Manufacturing (DFM): Leveraging deep knowledge of machining, welding, and assembly processes to optimize designs for cost-effective production without compromising quality.
Technical Problem Solving: Proven track record of troubleshooting and redesigning existing systems to increase throughput, reduce fatigue, and extend machine lifecycles.
Technical Toolkit:
Simulation: ANSYS (Static Structural, Thermal, Modal Analysis).
CAD/PLM (Autodesk Inventor): Expert-level 3D Modeling & Large Assembly Management.
Communication: Bilingual technical collaboration in English and German.
Current Engagement:
Senior Design Engineer | Uniweld strojevi d.o.o.
Lead designer for sophisticated industrial equipment, responsible for the mechanical architecture and verification of high-spec machinery.
