Objective
A position that utilizes my skills in thermal design and analysis, virtual qualification and personal networking.
Abstract
With a Master of Science in Energy Technology, I have been working as a development engineer and thermal specialist in industry and academia since 1997 with thermal design and virtual qualification methods for electronic packaging and power electronics. I have extensive experience with numerical design tools, and have experience working with industrial developers in product design. I have international experience and am used in gathering and converting external research into product development.
Professional Skills
- Specialist in thermal management for product development. Based on thermal analysis and Physics of Failure methods I am used to provide guidelines for electrical, mechanical design, and product qualification. Supports transition to lead-free electronics
- Specialist in FEM and CFD based simulation methods. Used to provide the application designer with predominant design parameters and design tradeoffs. Particularly I have been working extensively in thermal modeling of power modules and natural convective cooled applications.
- Great personal networking skills. Point of contact between CALCE EPSC and company. Founder and driver for FloTherm Scandinavian User Group.
- Knowledge transfer capabilities. Performed scans for thermal carrier technologies suitable for the company's main technology plan. Has arranged internal and external one or two day workshops with highly esteemed professors in the topics of Physics of Failure, Virtual Qualification, Thermal Management, Lead free solders.
- Expertise in developing documentation written in technical English.
- Software: FloTherm v4.2, MathCAD, FEMLAB, CFX 4.1, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, MatLAB, CalcePWA, Visio, ANSYS, AutoCAD, C++, Turbo Pascal, Microsoft Project, LabView
- Languages: Fluent in Danish, English, Swedish and Norwegian. Uses English as working language. Knowledgeable in German and French.
