Aric Acius
I am currently working as a design engineer at Rolls-Royce Corporation in the Externals group. I enjoy working the fast pace environment while providing quality on-time projects. I have had many excellent experiences so far at Rolls-Royce including a temporary assistant team lead position in the UK, traveling to India to learn about outsource capabilities, working on innovative projects that have led to a a patent application, learning to manage projects both for myself and a team, and most of all continuing to learn from my teammates as we combine our knowledge.
I enjoy leading a balance work life, and outside of the office I participate in many activities. I typically enjoy spending time with friends and family, traveling to nearby cities like Chicago, playing sports outdoors like Ultimate Frisbee, and training for a marathon by the end of 2016. I am also beginning the Masters of Engineering program for Aerospace Engineering at Iowa State University in 2016.

I am a team member of the Externals engineering group responsible for creating new designs, modeling, analysis, definition, and implementation of for Installations components. I have worked on a wide variety of projects including simple brackets, fuel manifolds, package mounting, air/oil/lube tube routing and new design with thermoplastic materials. Other experience includes:
RRNA – Work as mechanical integration and thermal management design engineer.
Project – Work both with a project engineer and independently to ensure a solution is delivered on time and schedule updates are communicated frequently.
Assistant Engineering Lead – Have spent over 4 months in Derby, UK under Rolls-Royce PLC as an Assistant Engineering Lead for the Trent1000-TEN and Trent XWB programs. Worked to kick off new projects by developing project schedules and supporting designers through technical reviews.
Thermoplastics – Developed design guidelines for the use of custom thermoplastic brackets and delivered 3 custom brackets for Critical Design Review. Patent application submitted in 2014.
Analysis – Multiple design solutions analyzed to support validation within Ansys Workbench including gasket sealing, thermoplastic bracket frequency response, large deflection cases, and several modal response analyzes.
Process Improvement – Developed RR globally used Pugh Matrix template used to help designers downselect design options.
Validation – Understanding of requirements to validate new parts depending on the size of the solution including participating, fit checks, analysis, build, and supporting engine testing with dynamic strain gages in a variety of test cells.
Outsource – Visited several companies based in Bangalore, India to learn about capabilities, process, and their past work with providing low cost engineering solutions.
EPOC – Provide export advice and reviews to team members as an Export Point of Contact
