HELLO

my name is

ALDIN DELIC

Profile

 

Professional, highly qualified engineer with excellent organisational and team leading skills. Ideal candidate for position requiring drive, initiative, responsibility and challenge.

Great interest in FEA, Python, Linux and FOSS.

Profession

I have been working as a computational engineer, test leader and team leader at SAAB AB science April 2020. My current role is team leader for two teams; Qualification and Hardware. My main responsibilities are:


  • Guiding the implementation of strategies designed to achieve planned goals.


  • Managing teams of 15+ employees and monitoring project to ensure progress.


  • Participating in dialog with customer.


  • Assigning territories and reporting to senior leadership as needed.


  • Continually working to fully understand the needs of customer and assist in identifying solutions that meet those needs.


I have previously been working as a consulting computational engineer at Knightec and as a researcher at Swerim (previously Swerea KIMAB). Most of my work has been in the field of finite element computation. I have been involved in various national and international projects where my computations and analysis have been great aid in different research fields. I have also been directly consulting companies and assisted them with product and production process verifications. 

 

The finite element computations and analysis have mostly been performed with ANSYS, ABAQUS and LS-DYNA. However, I do have a great interest in free and open source software, FOSS, and in particular computation solvers like CalculiX and Code_Aster. I have been teaching computation engineers from the industry in this area in order to spread the knowledge and to widen the use of FOSS.

 

Coding, or scripting, has become one of my skills which I often use as a complementary to the FEA. I have developed a great interest in Python and I use Pandas, SciPy and Matplotlib at regular basis.

 

Personal

I like to consider myself as a creative person as I have always enjoyed sketching and painting. This interest has now been passed to my two daughters which makes the whole thing much more enjoyable.
