Manuel Vila

In charge of full flight simulators product integration on civil programs: - Owner of the software product integration and deployment (DevOps). - Lead and offer technical support to software engineers during the systems integration. - Customer and engineers' main point of contact for software- and hardware-related issues encountered during development, validation and deployment phases. - Provide project informations (status, risks, roadblocks) to upper management.

Develop engines simulation software solutions for flight simulators: - Implement the simulation model (engine control logic and performance). - Unit and system testing. - Resolve deficiencies and issues raised by test pilots and customers. - Scrum mastering.

Support the integration, development and verification of a new gas turbine development program. - Risk treatment/mitigation and requirements management activities. - Progress and coordination of the validation and verification strategy. - Support during pre-test activities, in particular raising engineering instructions, coordinating with the Build Shop, Test Facilities, the Instrumentation Group.

Mechanical Calculation & Method Department: - Modeling fasteners by spring elements in FEM models (Samcef, Ansys) using empirical formulas giving stiffness of fasteners. - Development of a numerical tool (VBA) implementing automatically the springs in the FEM models. - FE Analysis and post-treatment using the new model on engine test equipment for the LEAP 1B (Samcef, Patran).
