I improve defense system reliability through ballistic testing, simulation, and subsystem integration.
TunisiaWhat I'm looking for
I'm improving ballistic performance and reliability for the Tunisian Government through live-fire testing, LS-DYNA simulation, and data-driven engineering analysis. I conduct 5+ ballistic tests monthly, helped improve trajectory accuracy by 10–15%, and reduced ammunition failure rates by 20% through configuration optimization.
I use Python, MATLAB, SolidWorks, and Hardware-in-the-Loop validation to analyze sensor data, model systems, validate performance, and produce safety-compliant technical documentation. My work includes subsystem integration, troubleshooting, requirements compliance, and reliability engineering that reduced component failure rates by 10%.
At the Tunisian Military Academy, I validated concepts against MIL-STD and STANAG standards, supported ISO 9001:2015 audits, and trained more than 100 cadets. My engineering thesis simulated the interior ballistics of a gun using LS-DYNA FEM.
