Boris Bass

I can help you with a full R&D service: design, FEA and CFD simulation, prototyping, cost reduction, quotation, price negotiation and correct selection of the vendors.

In my previous role as MSME, engineer, and manager with 30+ years of R&D involvement, I gained the knowledge and experience I need to hit the ground running and start making an immediate contribution.

The following are just a few highlights of my professional skills and achievements that I hope to bring to your company:

• Adept user of most popular 2D and 3D CAD modelling applications (SolidWorks, CreO, Inventor, SolidEdge...)

• FEA and CFD analyst with solid experience using several most widespread packages (Ansys, Abaqus, CFD, Fluent, IcePak)

• Team lead responsible for testing and analyzing the feasibility, design, and performance of equipment, components, and systems.

• Project manager liable for the development, coordination, and monitoring all aspect for several $10 million production projects, including a selection of manufacturing methods, fabrication, and operations of product designs. In addition to all the above, I possess experience of designing innovative complex equipment and possess the aptitude needed to work with abstract system design concepts.

Why do you think you are a good fit for this particular project?

Resolute Mechanical Design Engineer / Manager blending technical know-how with project management proficiency to meet complex design requirements. Facilitate project success with cost-effective design solutions. Possess extensive practical experience utilizing 2D and 3D CAD modeling applications to visualize design specifications supported by an expert level of FEA and CFD analysis.
