Rhys F.

As an experienced mechanical design engineer, I bring expertise in core engineering principles. Currently, I contract at Airbus as a test rig design and stress engineer, where I leverage Abaqus and CATIA to design and construct full scale testing rigs and sub assemblies. This role allows me to apply my extensive knowledge in full-scale electro-mechanical design and conduct in-depth simulation studies of high-risk engineering components. Most recently I have led the development of two wing stands for structural support during the testing regime, utilizing Abaqus software for comprehensive stress analysis and adherence to industry standards. Proficient in both 2D and 3D CAD, I emphasize good DFM practices and conduct thorough life cycle analyses, ensuring robust design solutions. My experience extends to managing design reviews and change control processes, where I facilitate collaboration and ensure alignment with project objectives. Furthermore, I possess significant expertise in GD&T and BOM production, with hands-on experience in working with PDM and QMS systems to streamline design workflows. I have significant experience managing drawing revision changes and implementations. In addition to my work at Airbus, I have a background in highly regulated industries such as life sciences and automotive supply, where I've applied my skills to meet stringent industry standards and regulations. My proficiency in computational modeling, including FEA and CFD using Solidworks, ANSYS, and other software, has been instrumental in optimizing design performance and mitigating risks in various projects. With a strong foundation in project management, I approach each project with meticulous planning and execution, ensuring timely delivery and adherence to quality standards. My commitment to continuous learning and staying updated with the latest advancements in engineering technology allows me to deliver innovative solutions that meet and exceed client expectations.
