About
Mechanical Design and Product Development Engineer with professional experience in automotive engineering, mechanical component design, structural simulation, and product validation.
I have experience supporting product development from 3D CAD modeling and design reviews to engineering validation, technical problem-solving, and manufacturing considerations.
Core competencies:
3D CAD modeling, assemblies, and engineering drawings using CATIA V5/V6
Finite Element Analysis (FEA) using ANSYS Workbench
Structural, vibration, and fatigue analysis
Mechanical component design and product development
Kinematic simulation and mechanism validation
Design reviews, technical problem-solving, and engineering documentation
My background combines hands-on engineering experience with an understanding of product development, design validation, and technical coordination.
I am available for projects involving mechanical CAD design, CAE/FEA simulation, engineering analysis, and product development support.
