Aircraft Performance/Acoustics Engineer

Airbus Defence & Space on behalf of Sogeti High Tech
Getafe (Madrid) | November 2015 - April 2016

Development and validation of aircraft performance software for acoustic certification of Airbus Defence & Space aircrafts.

Flight Performance Software Engineer

Sogeti High Tech
Getafe (Madrid) | August 2014 - October 2015

Development and validation of flight performance software, working in the calculation kernel as well as in the creation of supporting tools and graphical interfaces for UNIX and iOS; being the main development in Fortran 77 and using PyQt, Objective-C and Swift among others for the supporting tools.

Main software is an EASA certified tool for low speed performance calculation.

Most activities were related to the evolution of the software in order to adapt it to other aircrafts as A400M and the validation of these modifications, as well as customer support and analysis activities.

CFD Programmer

Airbus
Getafe (Madrid) | September 2013 - July 2014

Development of CFD post-processing tools for DLR TAU in several programming languages like C, Fortran and Python under an UNIX environment. Some of them using advanced high level computing techniques like MPI, OpenMP and Chimera.

Education

Master in Professional Development

Universidad de Alcalá
Madrid | September 2013 - July 2014

CIFF master which objective is to professionally develop young university students, preparing them in those competencies which are more valued by the labor market.

Aerospace engineer

Universidad Politécnica de Madrid
Madrid | September 2007 - March 2013

Aerospace engineering (5 years degree) in ETSIA. Specialized in aircraft design with subjects as aerodynamics and flight physics.

Final degree project

České vysoké učení technické v Praze
Prague | September 2012 - March 2013

Final degree project during an Erasmus scholarship in Prague.

"Optimization of a composite nose wheel undercarriage"

This project is framed in the design of the UL-39 ultralight aircraft developed by the CTU in Prague, and made mostly of composite materials. The project covers the CAD design, finite element analysis (FEM) and the optimization of the nose wheel undercarriage. The analysis and design were performed with NX Nastran and its composite module.

Technical skills

Experience in aerospace engineering, mainly in flight performance.

Advanced proficiency in Python, C, Fortran and Visual Basic as well as Matlab and Objective-C.

Knowledge of scripting languages as bash or KSH.

Background on Design Patterns such as singleton, decorator or composite and architectural patterns as the Model View Controller (MVC).

Extensive knowledge of high-level computing techniques as MPI (Message Passing Interface) and Chimera meshes.

High expertise with web related languages as HTML5, CSS3, PHP and JavaScript, including jQuery library.

Ability to work under UNIX operative systems, including Mac OS X.
