  Winkelmann Group

  Jan 2016 - May 2019

  Simulation Engineer

  Winkelmann was a great place to start a career as a Simulation Engineer. I cannot thank enough for the amount of exposure and opportunity to gather expertise owing to the huge range of cutting-edge powertrain product portfolio: high quality, deeply engineered precision products produced with German class manufacturing competencies. The most challenging part of the work was that our simulation team consisted of just two employees including myself for the whole group. As a result, my style of work became highly structured and organized for efficiency. Although purely technical, I could enjoy the challenge hugely which helped me to ace the job. Show less
