- Extensive CAD modeling experience in CATIA/3DEXPERIENCE
- Advanced CAD simulation experience in SIMULIA to teach engineers to validate their current design ideas early in the development phase
- Hands-on CAD modeling experience across diverse part types, including injection-molded parts, castings, stampings, and sheet metal
- Proven experience delivering CAD training to engineers
- Experience in creating and using simulations to validate current CAD designs and identify deficiencies early
