Aerospace engineer🧑‍🔬 EngineerMechanical engineer

I am currently a development and certification engineer at Kopter Germany, where I specialize in flight mechanics and flight dynamics analyses of helicopters. My experience extends to conducting comprehensive loads and performance analysis, ensuring the structural integrity of the aircraft using the simulation software Flightlab. In addition to helicopters, I also have experience in fixed-wing aircraft, performing flight tests and overseeing the certification process. I am skilled in stress analysis, employing classical hand calculations to validate design integrity. I have strong project management skills, overseeing complex engineering projects. I am proficient in a variety of engineering tools which includes MATLAB for data analysis and simulations, FLIGHTLAB for advanced flight dynamics modeling, and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis to optimize aerodynamic performance, just no name a few. I believe that my broad range of skills and experience will make me a valuable asset in the aerospace industry.
