Farmington Hills, MI, 48335 Email: ***********@***.*** Summary: I am a structural engineer with both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in aerospace engineering with a focus on the design of aerospace structures through the use of computer-aided design and finite element analysis software. For the past 2.5 years I have been employed as a project engineer for the automotive company Calsonic Kansei where I perform FEA analyses on automotive parts through the HyperWorks software as well as develop scripts written in the TCL programming language to aid in performing the analyses. I also have obtained a private pilot license and have gained leadership experience through my involvement in the professional engineering fraternity Theta Tau. My goal is to obtain employment in the aerospace industry. Education

Analysis Work Experience

Structural Engineer at Calsonic Kansei: November 2013 – Present

-Primary duties involve performing FEA analyses on automotive parts and writing TCL programs.

-Abaqus was used to perform a high-temperature nonlinear finite element analysis on an automotive switch tab mounting which was failing during field tests. I was able to recommend a successful countermeasure which reduced the strain in the mounting by 21.3%.

-The TCL programming language was used to develop a program that automates material conversions in HyperMesh through a graphical user interface, thereby potentially reducing the conversion time from hours to seconds.

- Took part in a weld correlation study in order to better correlate the finite element analysis results with the physical test results. By remodeling the welds, we were able to increase the overall accuracy of the FEA results to within 10%. Intern with Applied Concepts Aircraft Solutions: May 2010 - August 2010

-Designed various parts such as metal fasteners through the use of the software CATIA and learned how to use GD&T. Skills

Finite Element Analysis: Familiarity using FEA programs to perform linear static, nonlinear, normal modes, and forced response analyses on aerospace and automotive parts at both room and high temperatures. Computer-Aided Design: A detailed model of a hand clamp was developed using the NX software. Using the drafting feature of NX, the dimensions of each part were found within IGS files which were then constructed into an assembly. Materials: Experience with nonlinear and composite material analysis through FEA programs as well as performing physical tests in a laboratory environment.

Fluid/Thermal Analysis: Experience with conducting fluid/thermal analyses in a laboratory environment. Satellite Toolkit: Experience with STK in launching a satellite from Earth to a parking orbit around the moon. Computer Skills: MS Office, Pro-E, CATIA, SolidWorks, NX, MATLAB, HyperWorks, ABAQUS, Patran/Nastran, STK, TCL Pilot Training: Obtained a Private Pilot License from Treasure Coast Flight Training in 2008. Leadership: Member of the Professional Engineering Fraternity Theta Tau.
