HELLO,
my name is Ian Silva Trenkle.
Hello, welcome to my Website! Here's a quick summary of my professional experience:
I’m a Mechanical Engineer focused on turning engineering concepts into tested, production-ready products. My experience spans mechanical design, nonlinear FEA, prototyping, manufacturing, and physical validation across automotive, aerospace, robotics, and advanced mechatronic systems.
In my current role at Yamaha Motor Manufacturing, I lead product development projects from concept through simulation, prototyping, testing, and manufacturing coordination. I enjoy working at the intersection of design and analysis—using first-principles engineering, simulation, and real-world testing to develop robust solutions to challenging mechanical problems.
I hold M.S. and B.S. degrees in Mechanical Engineering, as well as a B.S. in Electrical Engineering, giving me a multidisciplinary foundation that allows me to work across mechanical, electrical, and mechatronic systems. I’m particularly interested in product development, structural design, simulation, and engineering problems where hands-on experimentation and analytical thinking can be combined to create better products.
If my experience intrigues you, feel free to shoot me an email.
