•Responsible for evaluation of client problems, specifying analysis method and providing cost and manpower estimates. Designed, developed and implemented X-windows graphical user interface for FEA of automotive climate control systems and cooling fans. Ported applications to customer systems and performed on-site customer training. Clients included Ford motor company, Caterpillar and Bendix.•Directed two engineers in software development and finite element analysis activities.•Performed finite element analysis of automotive components and systems including hydraulic, cooling, and climate control systems using in-house CFD software.

•Performed Thermal and Stress Analysis using Finite Element packages NASTRAN and ANSYS.•Evaluated client problems and prepared cost estimates and proposals for FEA projects.•Performed flow measurements using hot-wire and hot-film anemometry systems.•Developed software for sensor calibration, data collection, processing and display in connection with a variety of engineering projects. Examples include collection and processing of accelerometer and pressure sensor data to establish a rejection criterion for noisy forklift transaxles, temperature and velocity measurement in turbo machinery, and process monitoring and reporting in an incineration facility.
