During 10 years in mechanical engineering field. Seven years of this has been in aircraft industries, actuating in structural design.
I have gained a variety of experiences in the design of mechanical structures, material testing, tool design, manufacturing and engineering methodology. I have a strong working knowledge of ASME Y14.5M-1994 specifications standards (geometrical tolerancing), my interest in structural analysis, my experience on production engineering interfacing, and my activities on automobilist industry supplier are a plus, which enhance my flexibility.
