I’m Sharon, a recent graduate from RMIT University with a master’s in International Automotive Engineering, and a Bachelor’s in Mechanical Engineering. Over the past six years, I’ve gained experience working with CAD and CAE on multiple university projects, developing a strong foundation in structural dynamics, NVH, mechanical redesign, product development, and PLM. I’m excited to contribute as a mechanical/product development/automotive engineer in design, analysis, or manufacturing teams. I’m eager to apply my hands-on experience in CAD/CAE, prototyping, and cross-disciplinary collaboration to deliver robust, efficient solutions for automotive and manufacturing challenges. I value teamwork and continuous learning, and I’m enthusiastic about contributing to innovative projects in design, analysis, and production.
