Matei B.Private profile: Upwork shows its earnings only to signed-in members, so we check it every few weeks, not daily. MRR here is a rough estimate (Upwork's six-month earnings ÷ months active). Last read Nov 5, 2026.

I’m a Mechanical R&D Engineer specialized in computational mechanics (FEM/CFD) for structures, thermal and fluid systems, and in mechanical design justification. I hold a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering and a PhD, with 5+ years of experience in industrial R&D and simulation, including work on structural, thermomechanical, and vibration-related problems for complex mechanical systems. * Over five years of experience in numerical simulation and engineering analysis for industrial systems * Strong background in structural mechanics, FEM, and mechanical sizing * Experience in static, dynamic, vibration, and thermomechanical analyses * Ability to define and justify load cases, boundary conditions, modelling assumptions, and meshing strategy * Experience in mechanical design support, simulation-driven design improvement, and technical justification * Proficiency with ANSYS Mechanical, Altair HyperWorks (OptiStruct), and Code_Aster * Good understanding of experimental validation and critical assessment of simulation results * Advanced programming skills in Python and MATLAB for automation and post-processing * Fluent in English, French, German, and Spanish
