Operations Support Engineer

• Aug 2022 - Present

Senior Advisor

• Sep 2020 - Aug 2021

• Consultant of the Aerodynamic FST department• Responsible for the Aerodynamic trainee program - Mentored, coached and micromanaged 10 trainees - Introduced the trainees to the theoretical aerodynamic concepts of a formula type racecar and promoted their development of CFD simulations skills (CAD Preparation, Mesh Definition, Physics Models, Post Processing Analysis) using the StarCCM+ solver

Head of Aerodynamics

• Sep 2019 - Sep 2020

• Management of the Aerodynamic FST department - Micromanaging and mentoring of 2 department members with the consequent improvement of teamwork skills, human interaction and development of leadership skills - Definition, control and update of the department Gantt chart, reflecting the work distribution between the department members - Definition of deliverables and milestones - Prepared, chaired and wrote minutes of 45 weekly department meetings - Coordination of 2 stakeholders for the car manufacturing• Contributed to strategic decisions from the FST car design and manufacturing to its assembling and testing/validation, during 50 board meetings• Cooperated with Powertrain and Chassis departments to achieve the FST car cooling requirements• Developed a close interaction with Vehicle Dynamics department to fully understand and stablish the aerodynamic concept of the car• Responsible for the preparation and manufacture of the FST car aerodynamic package. Developed an extensive and solid hands-on experience with composites techniques (infusion, prepreg and wet lay-up). • Coached about 20 FST members regarding the application of these techniques• Designed a fully parametric car model CAD which included the several behaviors of a formula type racecar on a race track Show less

Aerodynamic Department Trainee

• Sep 2018 - Aug 2019

• Studied the aerodynamics and fluid dynamics concepts related to the Motorsport industry• Gained knowledge of the Carbon Fiber–Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) manufacture processes and acquired solid hands-on knowledge experienced with composites• Developed CFD simulations skills (CAD Preparation, Mesh Definition, Physics Models, Post Processing Analysis) with the modelling of 2 complex models of a Formula Student Técnico prototype, using the Ansys Fluent solver

Summer Internship

• Jun 2016 - Jul 2016

Worked on the ITER program, one of the most ambitious energy projects in the world. The magnetic Fusion device Tokamak is being built to prove the feasibility of nuclear fusion as a large scale and carbon free source of energy. Developed a conceptual Design of a blanket module that covers the inner walls of the Tokamak vacuum vessel using CATIA software.
