FEM simulation in ABAQUS for laser and electron beam welding: - Thermo-mechanical analysis of welding plates with thickness < 1 mm - 3D Heat Source Model (HSM) development using subroutines (FORTRAN): Study and compare the effects of different HSM shapes and combinations. - Optimize HSMs for input power, power distribution, and shape for variety of plate thicknesses. - Compare and validate simulation models with experimental results. - Data recording, management and analysis of the results.

- Performed FEM simulation for adhesion process in components using SPG (Smooth Particle Galerkin) on LS-DYNA. - Performed explicit FEM simulations for manufacturing processes using AdvantEdge for to evaluate and optimize tools and process parameters. - CAD-Modeling in Siemens NX (3D-CAD) to modify fixture design to expand compatibility with a new component.

Supplier Quality Assurance (Vendor Supplied Parts) - Supplier audits, error analysis and troubleshooting for part quality concerns implementing QC tools; product design and development for production.

Designed, tested and fabricated a battery assist system to modify the process from manual to semi-automatic.

TACT optimization with Production Planning Department.
