CHARLIE F.

Senior Engineer, Naval Architecture & Marine Engineering

Honolulu Office                                 

 

 

What is your role at PacMar Technologies?

 

I am a mechanical engineer in the naval architecture and marine engineering division, and I primarily work on computational fluid dynamics (CFD), which means I do a lot of computer simulations of boats and surface vehicles.

 

What do you like about working at PacMar Technologies?

 

I love my job at PacMar Technologies because it constantly challenges me. I usually work on multiple projects at once, where I am shifting between different ideas and concepts. My work is always very active and exciting.

​

What motivates you each day?

 

What motivates me the most is the curiosity behind solving different problems. Often times I’ll leave work with a CFD solution or simulation running thinking I might fix some problem – and then in the morning, I am eager to check on the run and see what happened overnight. I like digging into the science, asking questions, and constantly trying to solve problems.

​

How do you define success?

 

I don’t like to compare myself to other people, but I do like to be compete with myself. If I feel like I’ve done the best that I can do, that is what I consider a success.

​

How do you make a difference here with your job?

 

From early design stages to manufacturing, I get to see concepts that go from thoughts in our minds, to the computer, all the way to a full-scale prototypes. It is pretty cool stuff!
