Design Engineer

• Oct 2019 - Jul 2020

Design by CATIA V5 of Ford Fiesta WRC and Fiesta R5 mechanical parts under the FIA regulations:• WRC 2022 Suspension design. Using CAD and FEA to analyse all the components involving the suspension, such as wishbones, bushes, uprights... Choosing materials according to the needs.• 3D CAD surface designs and CFD analysis of aerodynamic and braking parts such as the rear louvres, braking discs cooling ducts and upright cooling ducts.• Proven communication- skills by agreeing with providers a more efficient CV joint design.• Team- working with the workshop chief engineer, design of manufacturing jigs such as a steering column and gear level aligner, reducing manufacturing time in a 3%.• Hands-on experience designing test rigs to fulfil FIA regulations, such as a seat rail impact rig.• Mechanical design and FEA of engine and steering parts for additive manufacturing.• 2D CAD drawings of every design, used to work in a high standard GD&T environment.• With initiative and teamwork, my suggestions reduced the weight of the parts in at least a 5%.Occasionally, CATIA V5 designs for the Jaguar i-pace etrophy and Bentley Continental GT3.• 3D CAD design and CFD analysis of battery cooling duct for the Jaguar, solving the overheating.• Teamworking with the Bentley selling and marketing teams, e-shop drawings and 3D renders of the 40% of the parts from the car. Working and succeeding under a high- pressure environment.

Aerodynamicist

• Sep 2018 - Oct 2019

Aerodynamic Cooling Head Engineer. Responsible of providing a new solution for the cooling duct and sidepod of the 2019 combustion engine car that improves the requirements of mass flow through the radiator, drag and downforce. The steps taken to achieve the goals are:• Being creative and based on aerodynamic principles, designing the cooling duct using SolidWorks.• Modelling and simulation of the new design using Star CCM+.• Analysing the data obtained and compare it with the results obtained in the 2018 combustion car.• Team working with other teams responsible of the rest of elements of the car, in order to adapt the new design and improve the efficiency of the whole package.

Operations Manager

• Apr 2018 - Sep 2018

In charge of the purchases and manufacturing department, leading and managing a twenty membered team to deliver every purchase order on time and under budget. Working close with the quality, finance, selling and marketing departments, the main goals were:• Development of manufacturing scheme according to the needs of customers and company. Delivery times were improved from the 25% of goods deliver on time to 70%.• Cost control, working with the financial department, creation of a dynamic cost database. Being determined to obtain the ideal results in order to success in future projects.• Improvement on the communication canals between manufacturing department and workshop. Reducing employees’ misunderstandings and therefore reducing manufacturing time.• Proactivity presenting to the General Manager a project to change the layout and store area. The aim was to make a flexible work in progress material flow to improve the efficiency of the workshop. • Leading by example, being the first person arriving to the office in the mornings and spending many extra hours to support employees. Making strong relationships to improve performance and satisfy customer delivery times.

Engineering Manager

• Jun 2015 - Jan 2018

As an Engineering Project Manager in a small company tasks involved: • Designing of pressure equipment by NX. • Working with workshop chief, designing of workshop tools by NX and AutoCad, making able extending the product range. Developed a practical mind since it was essential to adapt computational designs to current machinery. • In order to reduce cost, different projects were presented to the General Manager, demonstrating proactivity. Some of the projects developed were, improvement on drawings for workshop and suppliers, reducing the amount of material discarded and negotiation with suppliers to receive the raw material on time and reducing its price on a 15%. • Used to work under pressure since the development of a new manufacturing scheme led the company to deliver the 60% of the goods on time, achieving an improvement of 50%. • Quality control and documentation maker, ensuring everything and everyone was working according to ISO 9001. Gained a team player sense since different people from different departments needed support adapting to the new regulations.
