Victor C.

Victor C. has extensive work experience in mechanical design, CAE analysis, and engineering roles. Victor currently works as a Mechanical/CAE/Test engineer at Joby Aviation. Prior to this, they worked at Lime as a Staff Mechanical Design/CAE Analysis Engineer, leading a team of engineers and significantly reducing the development cycle for electric vehicle products through the use of simulation predictions. At Lime, they were also responsible for full structural design, conducted concept optimizations, and resolved safety issues through impact/crash analyses. Before Lime, Victor worked as a Senior Mechanical Design/CAE Analysis Engineer at Boosted, Inc., where they performed various CAE/FEA analyses for vehicle products and accessories, resolved fatal issues, and designed sub-assemblies. Victor also gained experience as a Senior Mechanical Design Engineer at Tesla, where they designed and implemented a shipping rack that significantly reduced the breakage rate of automotive glasses. Victor also worked as an Engineer at AK Steel Corporation, leading a team and using finite element analysis (FEA) to improve manufacturability for high strength steel. Victor has also worked as a Graduate Research Assistant at the University of Central Florida, investigating biomechanical properties and conducting simulation tests. Victor has interned at Alcoa, where they developed analytical tools, performed stamping simulations, and improved product design efficiency. Overall, their work experience showcases their expertise in CAE analysis, structural design, and the application of simulation technologies in various industries.

Victor C. pursued their education in the field of Mechanical Engineering. Victor enrolled at the University of Central Florida in 2012 and earned a Master of Science (M.S.) degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2014. Victor continued their studies in the same field at the university and obtained a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) degree in Mechanical Engineering in 2016.
