As a senior structures analyst for Force India F1 team, I am responsible for the day-to-day detailed stress analysis for all aspects of the car, producing detailed technical reports for designers, senior management and our regulatory body (Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile). Writing and maintaining analysis procedures/methods, providing technical guidance where required and close liaison with the research and development group during physical testing. In order for me to complete these tasks competently I have to constantly ensure my interpersonal skills are at the highest levels, I must be able to perform classical hand calculations, generate and determine accurate load values, predict fatigue life of components and use/develop the latest Finite Element Analysis (FEA) software codes and techniques.PARTICULAR PROJECTS & ACHIEVEMENTSChassis / Monocoque Laminate specification (analysis & Optimisation)Metallic and Composite OptimisationFE process optimisation using FE morphing techniquesMultiple papers published for CAE Conferences as lead authorSKILLS GAINEDThis role has provided a broad experience of high level F1 stress engineering, analysing and reporting on all aspects of the design of an F1 car, and in particular providing the opportunity to develop key skills in the following areas:Advanced composite component analysis and optimisation techniques.Project and resource management within very limited timescales.Advanced interpersonal skills, particularly effective communication with designers, management, regulatory body and external suppliers.Recruitment procedures. I have been actively involved in CV screening & interviewing prospective new employees.

My role as a consultant was to provide assistance to the stress analysis department, suggest new techniques and methods in order to improve the analysis workflow and help identify new possible business opportunities for Altran in other departments employing the large portfolio of skills within the Altran group’s different sectors. The majority of my time at Renault F1 was spent completing analyses for many given components and ensuring their suitability for circuit running, writing test procedures and overseeing the physical testing, monitoring complete product lifecycle where problem solving and decision making is essential.PARTICULAR PROJECTS & ACHIEVEMENTSFormula One Constructors World Champions 2005 & 2006Software Introduction and TrainingIdentify New business opportunity for Impact Prediction simulationIntroduction of Optimisation & Morphing TechniquesFeasibility studies

As a CAE Consultant Engineer I was responsible for providing CAE support for clients on site and from our head-office. This primarily consisted of design and analysis for various automotive safety systems, using linear implicit and non-linear explicit crash analysis FE codes, reporting of the results and recommendations for further developments.Whilst I was at Simpact Engineering I was also tasked with investigation into diversifying our field of clients, as the Automotive sector was our primary customer, and the market forecast was not showing any signs of growth. As part of the diversification team, I was able to instigate diversification into non-automotive sectors, by setting up and chairing meetings with a market research team, provide initial analysis where required, and liaise with other Engineering companies for consultancy work.

I was employed as a CAE Impact Engineer with my primary role to provide a complete Finite Element Analysis model build and analysis service to large Automotive OEM’s and 1st-tier suppliers, write technical reports and propose modifications to improve structural performance. My role within TecoSim advanced rapidly with my skills in software development, writing software code to automatically generate reports from analysis results for multi-model analyses, automatic NCAP star generators (New Car Assessment Program) and I was also responsible for internal software benchmarking and training.This position gave me an excellent opportunity to develop my software skills and more importantly significantly help improve my interpersonal skills with technical report writing and a 6 month placement at Adam Opel AG in Rüsselsheim Germany.PARTICULAR PROJECTS (UK)Aston Martin Lagonda(AMV8, DB9): Underbody Thermal AnalysisLand Rover L322 : Euro, US NCAP, Thatcham Studies, Total Vehicle Development and AnalysisFord UK: Transit NVH Meshing & Rear Impact Model BuildPerkins UK: NVH Model build & AnalysisConnaught Cars: Model Build for Crash Analysis, NVH Analysis, aerodynamic CFD:Automatic Graph and Report GeneratorNCAP Star CalculatorSoftware and Analysis Benchmarking & ImplementationDevised in-house Software Training programPARTICULAR PROJECTS (GERMANY)OPEL X4405 (Corsa): Pre processing & Model Build for Head impact studiesOPEL A3370 (Zafira Update): Complete Pedestrian Protection: Pre & Post Processing. & abuse loading investigations. I was responsible for the rejection of an unethical post-processing method, which would have enabled easier test passes (via test data only), but was not ethically correct in application.
