Work History

Lead Structural Design Engineer

Turkish Aerospace Industry
09.2023 - Current

Starting from the idea phase of the project, I take an active role in the pre-design phase and further critical design phase activities of the aircraft by the desired mission conditions, considering the customer requests, the features and capabilities desired from the aircraft, and working simultaneously with other engineering disciplines to ensure appropriate and effective structural integrity.
During the concept design activities, working in coordination with analysis teams and modeling the inputs from them parametrically in detail part. In response to possible prospective inputs of the analysis teams, it is necessary to follow the parametric design path in order to design parts updated simultaneously and quickly evaluate the parts in the detail concept stage in terms of cost and effectiveness with using CAD/CAM program such as CATIA / NX 3D modeling. In addition, I contribute to the development of young engineer colleagues by leading them.
