Tobias Lorimer is an analysis engineer with 11 years' hands-on experience in high-performance mechanical design, specialising in composite materials and structural optimisation. He holds a PhD in Composite Structural Optimisation from the University of Auckland, where he developed genetic-algorithm approaches to co-design laminate architecture and structural layout and automated FEA workflows to cut design time and mass. Tobias combines academic rigour with practical manufacturing know-how—designing and building hybrid laminates, mould tools and injection-mouldable components—and has applied this to sectors from racing yachts to sustainable packaging. Comfortable leading projects end-to-end, he brings data-driven decision making, DfM-focused design, and persistent problem-solving to commercial roles. Based in Taufkirchen, Bavaria, he recently joined Blackwave GmbH, bringing a rare mix of optimisation algorithms and shop-floor fabrication experience that speeds real-world implementation.
