Chad Antczak Email & Phone Number

Chad Antczak is a Structural Analysis Engineer at Harley-Davidson Motor Company. He possess expertise in engineering, finite element analysis, fmea, dfmea, powertrain and 19 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Early on in our careers I realized Chad was a fundamentally robust mechanical engineer. As time progressed, I have increasingly relied upon Chad as one of my primary sounding-boards for confirming (or denying) my own thoughts about structural problems and challenges. He is extremely competent at performing and interpreting FEA, and clearly understands the limitations of the data it provides based upon whatever assumptions needed to be made for developing the model. However, the assumptions that Chad makes are logical and always well rooted within mechanical engineering principles. I would recommend Chad without hesitation as an exceptional mechanical engineer.", "Chad and I worked together on a few projects while at Buell – most notably were some critical modifications to some of our chassis components to ensure both ease of manufacturability and structural integrity. Chad has a great analytical mind, and can quickly see solutions to complex problems and then clearly communicate those solutions in a thoughtful manner. Chad never settled for a design solution simply because it was the path of least resistance. If you worked on a project with Chad, you can rest assured that at the end of the day, your design will be better due to his analytical input. Besides his technical expertise, Chad is a great guy that shared his knowledge with a smile, and will be an awesome addition to any workplace.", and "Chad's approach to structural analysis is always based in solid logic and good engineering practice. He asks the right questions early enough to influence design of new products before mistakes are made, therefore helping designers avoid pitfalls well beyond just structural weaknesses. He also thoroughly understands manufacturing process and how his recommendations impact cost, quality, and timing. He brings practical hands on mechanical understanding to what can sometimes be a world of theory, and vice versa. As someone who worked next to Chad for years, I eagerly recommend him as an excellent engineer who is a pleasure to work with."

Listed skills include Engineering, Finite Element Analysis, Fmea, Dfmea, and 20 others.
