products used in High Horse Power Engine (Power generation,
Marine, etc.) and its related system (Intake and exhaust
manifold, etc.):
Research and analyze the customer design proposal, specification, and
manuals to determine feasibility of design of application.
Plan, schedule, and coordinate analysis activities for several projects to
meet production schedule and customer expectations.
Conduct structural analysis: vibration analysis; linear/nonlinear stress
analysis (Including large deformation, post-yielding and contact analysis);
steady and transient heat transfer and thermal stress analysis;
fatigue/durability analysis.
Structural design optimization and sensibility analysis.
Train analysts and engineers in the use of analysis software tools.
02/03-10/07 Senior FEA Engineer
TEAM Industries, Bagley, MN
Provide in-depth analysis for the products used in
snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles, personal watercrafts and
motorcycles:
Perform multi-body dynamic analysis of power-train components and sub-
systems.
Perform detailed linear/nonlinear stress analysis.
Perform vibration analysis, including modal and harmonic analysis.
