About this service
I deliver complete automotive wheel (rim) design engineering, covering the full development cycle - from early design and CAS, through Class-A surfacing, engineering coordination, supplier CAD refinement, and final OEM-level polishing and validation.
My experience is built on real production wheel programs for BMW, where wheel development is governed by strict internal guidelines, validation protocols, and cross-disciplinary sign-off processes.
I work at the intersection of design, engineering, manufacturing, and validation, ensuring that wheels are not only visually refined, but also structurally correct, manufacturable, aerodynamically considered, and compliant with OEM expectations.
This includes involvement in wheel FEA interpretation, brake cooling and airflow considerations, crash behavior awareness, and supplier data correction during late development stages.
This service is intended for OEMs, Tier-1/Tier-2 suppliers, performance-vehicle programs, and special-purpose or military applications requiring production-ready wheel solutions—not conceptual styling.

Senior CAD & Class-A Surfacing Engineer | Aerospace, Defense & High-End Manufacturing
I am a senior mechanical design engineer specializing in complex, high-end products where industrial design, engineering, and manufacturability must work together. My background spans aerospace systems, advanced consumer products, and automotive-grade surfacing, with a strong focus on turning concepts into production-ready geometry.

Questions and answers
Both. I can develop wheels from early concepts or take over existing designs — including late-stage supplier CAD — for engineering refinement, Class-A surfacing, and OEM-level polishing.
No. Wheel design cannot be separated from engineering. My work includes structural awareness, FEA-driven geometry iteration, manufacturing constraints, brake clearance, cooling airflow considerations, and validation logic.
Yes. Refining and correcting supplier CAD to meet OEM visual and geometric standards is a core part of my work.
Yes. I work against strict internal OEM wheel development guidelines and validation processes, similar to those used in major automotive OEM programs.
I collaborate closely with CAE teams, interpret FEA results from a design perspective, and adjust geometry accordingly. I focus on balancing stiffness, mass, fatigue behavior, and compliance.
Yes. Wheels must be strong, but not excessively stiff. I am familiar with controlled deformation requirements and failure mode considerations during crash scenarios.
Absolutely. Most wheel projects are NDA-protected.
