Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Rife is a stress engineer and MS candidate in aerospace engineering at NC State with nine years of hands-on experience applying FEA, composite impact modeling, and structural test methods to aircraft programs. He has progressed from co-op and lab research—developing LS-DYNA composite panel simulations and custom test-data software—to a full-time stress engineering role at Honda Aircraft, where he’s worked on fuselage, cockpit floor, and flight-control load paths. Proficient in SolidWorks, CATIA, Python, C++, MATLAB, and Simulink, he pairs numerical simulation skills with practical lab integration and automation experience that has improved test efficiency. Matthew’s background includes both designing structural tests and translating empirical results into improved calculation tools, and he regularly presents technical findings across interdisciplinary teams. Notably, he’s combined software development with structural engineering—automating data pipelines and control-system code—to speed evaluation and decision-making in test environments.
