Nick then joined TWI as a Principal Project Leader of the Electron Beam (EB) processing section, performing process reviews (EB, Laser, MIG/TIG, Friction etc.) and managing feasibility, process development or qualification projects (including NDT inspection and mechanical testing) for a range of joint thickness (1/16in to 8in) in many materials. Nick also worked as a Senior Project Leader of the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) section, solving many different types of engineering problems such as fatigue, structural, surface interaction, buckling, dynamic, heat transfer analyses. In 2018, they joined Relativity Space as a Manager/Principal Additive Simulation Engineer, then as a Principal Additive Simulation Engineer, and finally as a Senior Simulation Engineer. Nick is currently employed as the Chief Technology Officer at Fortius Metals Inc since 2022.
