WORK EXPERIENCE
CFD Engineer/Physicist 01.08.2005 – 01.04.2012, Continental Automotive Systems R&D, Sibiu, Romania
• Development of mathematical/physical models (computational fluid dynamics, electrodynamics, classical mechanics) • Verification of models using measured data • Interpretation of the simulation results for optimization purpose • Development of future brake system Other responsabilities: - Participate in development and research plan - Comparing the status of projects against the requirements documents - Communications with clients on status of projects - Maintaining relations with company clients - Collaboration with testing departments - Collaboration with design departments - Collaboration with development teams in other engineering centers - Internal and external presentation of projects and reports - Finding appropriate development and research methodologie - Paying attention to constraints: schedule, timeframe and quality - Technical documentation - Generation of documents and reports according to the defined process (e.g. ISO 9001)
Technical projects: • System dynamics modeling (tandem master cylinder from break actuation; motors, valves, pumps, calliper, low pressure accumulator of electronic break system) • Fluid dynamics modeling (Electromagnetic valves, Tandem master cylinder from break actuation) • Electromagnetics & Mechanics (BLDC motors modeling) • Electromagnetics (NO electromagnetic valves)
Important achievements: • Simulink model to be used for HIL • ESV and NO valves were optimized to be used with HCU – next generation brake system
