About
Aerospace engineer with interest in technology development. My professional experience includes working as a mechanical design engineer for a world-class aircraft seat company, and as head of the aerospace engineering center for a state university teaching undergraduate courses and performing aerospace research projects.
During graduate school, I acquired knowledge in aircraft design, rotorcraft aerodynamics, aero-engines, CATIA V5, and aerodynamics.
I also have a consulting firm for contractual aerospace engineering projects. I have participated in general aviation and fixed-wing UAV aircraft design projects.
My strengths and capabilities are: aircraft conceptual design (civil/defense), rotorcraft conceptual design, aerodynamic design, CATIA V5, and rocket engineering.

Experience
- Aerospace Engineering ConsultantARIDO·Self-employedOct 2016 – Present7岁Chihuahua, Chih., MexicoThis a my own consulting firm in which I provide aerospace engineering services by contract such as: aircraft conceptual design, aerospace/defense technology development consulting, business strategy to enter the aerospace industry in Mexico, market study and product development consulting.
- Aerospace Center HeadAutonomous University of Chihuahua·Full-timeJan 2017 – Mar 20203 yrs 2 mosChihuahua, Chih., Mexico提供了综合管理的航空分吗er which includes: aerodynamics/propulsion laboratory with wind and water tunnels and PIV technology, computer labs & prototyping lab, a building for teaching BS in aerospace engineering with mostly adjunct hourly professors. I also have coordinated internationally-published research projects in aeronautical engineering.
Have participated in a private/public-funded space technology project as technical manager.
Teaching undergraduate courses in aircraft design, subsonic, and supersonic aerodynamics (hidden).
Coordinated international conference on aeronautics (2019)
- Engineering InternAirbus Helicopters·InternshipJun 2015 – Apr 201610 mosDonauworth, BY, GermanyI started by evaluating surface generation methods in CATIA V5 to generate free-style surfaces of helicopter external components. Also, I established best-practice guidelines for automatic surface generation with CATIA V5. Moreover, I performed helicopter fuselage CFD analyses. Finally, I developed a script-based automatic numerical optimization framework by linking CAD-surface generation, meshing, and high-fidelity CFD tools to an optimizer.
- Design EngineerSafran Seats (Zodiac Seats US)·Full-timeMar 2013 – Jun 20141 yrs 3 mosChihuahua, Chih., MexicoProvided mechanical design support to seat programs for various airlines. Also, I produced 3D CAD models, drawings, and design modifications to aircraft seat parts and assemblies. In addition, I addressed design issues with manufacturing and certification engineers.
