• 

  Nidec Motor Corporation

  Jan 2001 - Jan 2008

  CAD Designer

  Mechanical design, 3D models and 2D drawings for mechanical parts such as shafts, frames, cover fan, supports, these designs were made using Solid Edge and AutoCAD, responsible for uploading drawings to Team center once they were approved by development engineers, as well as the maintenance of printers and plotters.

  Whirlpool Corporation

  Jan 2011 - Jan 2012

  Senior Engineer of Mechanical Structures

  Regional competency leader of Modular Architecture (Mexico region) and responsible for Deliverables Such as Part Number Count, MS count, SKU count, Roadmaps, MA metrics /each quarter. Another responsibility was to develop VAVE cost reduction and quality projects. In this position, I developed the simulation skill in Pro Mechanica, performed several simulations to evaluate the maximum stress and displacements of the Housing of a refrigerator temperature control to reduce costs, taking the project from start to finish until it was implemented on the platform.

  Siemens

  Jan 2012 - Jan 2015

  CAE Simulation Engineer - Scientist C

  Evaluation of design concepts in Lineal Static Analysis, Multi-body Dynamics and Tolerance Analysis in 3D through VSA software. My feedback is given to the FEA team located at Amberg, Germany such as stress Von Mises, displacement, strain, safety factors, contact forces, reaction forces, velocities, Root sum square/Worst case scenario and so on. On the other hand, my other responsibility is the cooperation between Mexico and Germany in terms of inventions disclosures & patents.

  Bendix Commercial Vehicle Systems LLC

  Mar 2019 - now

  CAE Senior Staff Engineer

  Finite element analysis on Bendix products such as valves, air dryers, compressors, mounting brackets using ANSYS software for structural analysis, modal, random vibration, fatigue, mechanical shock and fluid flow analysis for Air inlet - outlet. Tutoring and support for the junior simulation engineers and Co-ops with Creo simulate. I am currently developing a research related to the orientation of fibers in reinforced nylon to capture the pre-stress of the injection molding process and provide these anisotropic properties in ANSYS for structural simulation.
