Senior FEA Engineer

About

As the Senior FEA Engineer, I specialize in high-stakes structural analysis for the aerospace, defense, and energy sectors. My expertise lies in executing complex simulations from ITER Tokamak components and space-grade antennas to aircraft radomes ensuring mission-critical integrity under extreme conditions. Beyond technical execution, I act as a technical bridge and mentor for my team. Leadership & Troubleshooting: Guiding junior engineers through complex convergence issues and simulation bottlenecks to ensure project timelines are met. Advanced Analysis: Performing multi-physics simulations, including random vibration, thermal cycling, and elastic-plastic FEA per ASME Sec VIII-2. System Validation: Leading the structural integrity verification for defense drone systems and submarine periscope seals. Tools: ANSYS, LS-DYNA, Hypermesh, and SolidWorks.
