Toby Lawal
@tobylawal
Detail-focused aerospace engineer skilled in FEA/CFD, CAD, and risk-based design for safety-critical systems.
What I'm looking for
I am a detail-focused aerospace engineering graduate with hands-on experience in FEA and CFD using ANSYS, and CAD using SolidWorks and CATIA. I led subsystem and prototype projects—reducing predicted failure risk by 15% on an ECLSS design and delivering a 100% safe recovery rate for a parachute system—while producing clear, compliance-driven documentation.
I bring practical engineering skills in DFMEA, tolerance analysis, MATLAB-based modelling, and basic Python, combined with strong communication, teamwork, and time-management from industry and customer-facing roles. I am motivated to grow within innovation-driven engineering teams focused on quality, safety, and continuous improvement.
