What I'm looking for

I want to design high-load mechanical systems for ground vehicles, using CAD and FEA to validate strength and traction. I’m excited to contribute to full product development, refine designs through testing, and deliver clear, standards-compliant documentation.

I’m a Mechanical Design Engineer with 4 years of experience in heavy-duty ground vehicles, combining strong CAD design skills with hands-on validation through prototype testing. I focus on building reliable, manufacturable structures—from concept and layout to released documentation.

In my roles at engineering design bureaus and industrial development teams, I’ve performed structural strength and traction calculations, created 3D mockups and concept designs, and supported design refinement based on prototype results. I’ve contributed to full-cycle product development and delivered documentation within tight project deadlines.

I’m proficient in SolidWorks and Autodesk Inventor (advanced), with working knowledge of Siemens NX. I use FEA and engineering calculations (including ANSYS) alongside MATLAB and Simulink to strengthen design decisions and ensure component integrity.

My academic background in Tracked Vehicles & Mobile Robotics and Robotics & Mechatronics includes two theses defended with honors. I also bring practical engineering depth through reverse engineering work on suspension-related mechanisms and creating updated documentation to support upgrades and new production.
