Master degree in EngineeringAbout me
Senior Mechanical & Structural Engineer specialized in FEM/FEA, product development and design optimization. I combine engineering expertise, automation and a problem-solving mindset to turn complex challenges into efficient, innovative and practical solutions.
Python (Programming Language)
FEM Simulation and Structural Analysis
Expertise in Finite Element Method (FEM) for structural and mechanical verification of designed systems, using tools such as Autodesk Inventor FEM, Autodesk Inventor Nastran, and ANSYS. Application of FEM analyses to verify stress and deflection, ensuring compliance with safety margins and international standards such as DIN EN ISO 4210-8.
3D/2D CAD Design and Modelling
Expert-level proficiency in Autodesk Inventor for complete 3D and 2D design and modelling of structural, mechanical, and electrical/hydraulic systems, including composite structures such as carbon fiber platforms, side ramps, and mechanical systems. Additional experience with Rhinoceros, SolidWorks, and AutoCAD 2D.
PDM System Administration (Autodesk Vault)
Expert-level administration and maintenance of the Autodesk Vault PDM system, including user access control, lifecycle definitions, property mapping, and file structure organization across engineering departments. Implementation of modeling and design automation using iLogic programming and parametric modeling with iPart and iAssembly technologies.
Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering
Master degree in Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering from the University of Trieste, with practical experience in Polar Class certification requirements (DNV-GL, BV, LRS, RINA) for cruise ships and structural analysis of naval components.
Rules and Certification Documentation
Coordination and supervision of rules documentation approval processes for classification societies including LRS, DNV-GL, RINA, and ABS, as well as oversight of supplier production processes.
Rhinoceros 3D and Point Cloud Processing
Intermediate proficiency in Rhinoceros for 3D remodeling and engineering of complex geometries. Experience with 3D scanning, raw point cloud data analysis, and generation of 3D milling files for carbon fiber production.
Programming and Scripting
Intermediate proficiency in MATLAB, Python, and VB.NET for engineering calculations and automation tasks. Advanced experience in AI prompt design and iLogic programming within Autodesk Inventor for workflow automation.
FAT and Commissioning Activities
Participation in Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) and commissioning activities of engineered systems at suppliers workshops and customers construction sites.
Design Workflow Migration and Standardization
Migration of design and data management workflows from local environments to centralized company sharing through PDM systems. Definition and standardization of components through parametric modeling, optimizing 3D modeling and 2D drawing workflows.
