Rade C.
Senior Industrial & Mechanical Design Engineer | CAD & Class-A
I help companies turn complex ideas into production-ready CAD and Class-A surfaces that meet real engineering and manufacturing requirements. With 20+ years of experience in automotive, aerospace, defense, and high-end product development, I specialize in projects where precision, surface quality, and technical credibility are non-negotiable. I don’t deliver “pretty models” — I deliver clean, manufacturable geometry ready for engineering, analysis, and supplier handover. My work spans the entire development process: Concept and design validation Class-A surfacing and surface refinement Detailed CAD and mechanical layout Integration of FEA, production, and supplier constraints I have contributed to full vehicle programs, structural and mechanical components, wheels, UAV platforms, and premium consumer products under strict quality standards. I work with Autodesk Alias, CATIA, Blender, Rhino/Grasshopper, delivering in STEP, IGES, and native CAD formats. Clients value my ability to move fast, ask the right technical questions, and deliver results that hold up in real production environments. If your project demands senior-level execution, zero guesswork, and production-ready results, I’m ready to get started.
