Senior Engineer, New Product Development
Facilitated the product development of automotive seating structures, including
proposing conceptual designs and conducting feasibility studies. Created layout
s and drawings using 3D CAD tools (IDEAS, CATIA-V5), performing DFMEA, DVP&R, GD
&T, and PDFSS (Product Design for Six Sigma) studies. Additionally executed pro
totype building, testing and coordination with analysis and simulation group, ve
ndors, and customers. Coordinated activities for product launch.
FE Analysis
Performed analytical simulations of automotive crashes and provided guidelines t
o improve crashworthiness (using FEA tools such as DYNA-3D, HYPERMESH, EASi-CRAS
H, and ANSA, OASYS). Conducted reliability finite element analysis on automotiv
e subsystems, accounting for scatter present in geometric parameters due to manu
