Sajad Ahmadimajd

Summary

With over 4 years of experience as an airbag integration specialist, I have developed expertise in designing and ensuring the performance of vehicle occupant restraint systems. My strong background in project design and management equips me with the necessary skills for this role. Proficient in CAD and CAE, I collaborate effectively with the virtual engineering department to create innovative solutions. Additionally, my experience working in a student team, where I designed and manufactured the passenger cell of a carbon fiber car from scratch, has instilled in me a deep understanding of composite materials and an independent working style and a proactive problem-solving approach. Eager to bring these qualities to your team.
