Summary
Ignacio Sánchez is a mechanical engineer and Railway Dynamics specialist with 10 years of experience bridging railway and aerospace industries through multibody simulation, on-track testing, and engineering software development. He has led design and optimization of running gear at Talgo and now applies that expertise at Metro de Madrid, automating simulation workflows and driving productivity with Python-based tools. Previously he managed stress-analysis toolchains for Airbus programs and introduced novel methods for composite frames, combining hands-on coding (C++, Python, Fortran) with project leadership. A former astronomer turned data scientist, he brings a strong appetite for automation, machine learning and signal processing that informs his approach to vehicle dynamics and test-data analysis. Notably, he founded and led Talgo’s Python Group, turning ad-hoc scripts into maintained engineering software that accelerates delivery.
