WORK EXPERIENCE

Safran Seats USA LLC, Gainesville, TX

June 2017 – May 2020

Engineering Systems Specialist II

Resolution of technical and logical software (CAD/PLM) issues. Implemented and managed solution enhancements for CAD/PLM interfaces. Also, assisted engineering team with design, analysis and optimization of Safran Seats USA LLC products

• Extensive troubleshooting of CAD/PLM systems (CATIA V5, Pro/Engineering. Enovia SmarTeam & Intralink), quick diagnosis and resolution of system related issues

• Generated and maintained CAD/PLM system environment including setting, standards and reference data

• Planned, developed and executed the upgrade of CATIA V5R21 and SmarTeam R20 to CATIA V5R27 and SmarTeam R28

• Created design templates and macros in CATIA V5 to reduce repetitive design work and have consistency in the organization

• Created drawing templates in CATIA V5, Pro/Engineering and AutoCAD as per industry drafting standard

• Designed and maintained mechanical and electrical standard parts/assemblies (CAD Library) for aircraft seat installations

• Gathered requirements and designed workflows for injection molded and composite manufacturing processes

• Generated best practice documents and trained employees in CATIA V5, Smarteam, HyperWorks, SimSolid, and Abaqus

• Created and maintained a comprehensive material library for CATIA V5 and SimSolid

• Investigated and tested the functionality of future PLM systems at Safran Seats (Enovia, Teamcenter & Windchill)

• Developed a conceptual aircraft seat assembly model in CATIA V5 and optimized the model in Inspire for weight reduction

Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, Daytona Beach, FL

Sept 2016 – April 2017

Research Associate – Mechanical Department

Design and Analysis of Stiffened Composite Panel (Pure Laminate)

• Developed a 3D model of a stiffened composite panel section Using CATIA V6

• Performed linear static and buckling analysis for 164 different cases of the panel using Abaqus

• Compared the FEA and experimental results to find an error percentage of 7%

June 2015 – Aug 2015

R&D Intern - Advanced Aircraft Program (AAP)

Modeled a section of the flap and performed flap-skew analysis (non-linear analysis) for the G500/G600

• Addressed gaps in the current analysis methodology and developed a new approach to perform flap skew analysis

• Improved solution time by 2x and the model was accepted by Gulfstream for future test-to-analysis correlation

• Performed the tasks using Abaqus, HyperMesh, CATIA V5 and SmarTeam

ACHIEVEMENTS

• Received gold award at Safran for validation and release of engineering data to meet business goals and customer expectations

• Reduced pre-processing time for flap-skew analysis by 2x at Gulfstream
