Design/Stress Aerospace Engineer
Feb 2018 - Present • 8 yrs 5 mos
- Conceptual design with respect to project requirements; - Generation of 3d models and drawings in CATIA v5, structural sizing (FEA) and weight saving, design to cost, certification activities CS-23; - Authorizing design signatory for manufacturing drawings and BoM's; - Design and configure complex products in Digital Mock-Up; - Kinematic design and mechanical system integration, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing; -Planning and management, including familiarity with project management tools; -Demonstrated experience performing CFD, FEA, FSI analysis; I was working as aerospace engineer in research and development department in Utva Aircraft Industry d.o.o. on a project “Sova”. This project was modernisation of piston engine aircraft “Utva-75”, which modernised version holds the new name “Sova”. I was working on a design and development of: - Flight controls (kinematics, detail design); - Aircraft engine mount (25CrMo4) - Engine controls (kinematics, detail design) - Engine cowling (Glass Fibre); - Nose gear support (15CrMoV6); - Cockpit, passenger seats and seat-belts - Numerous structural parts and assemblies (aluminium, steel, composite) All components I’ve been working on are built on flying prototype aircraft. Sova is designed in accordance with EASA CS-23
