ABOUT BOGDAN CIRJA
Senior automotive stamping and Body in White manufacturing specialist with more than 20 years of experience connecting forming simulation with real press shop production. My work focuses on ensuring that digital forming predictions translate into robust manufacturing feasibility and stable serial production.I specialise in solving complex forming and industrialisation challenges, helping OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers reduce launch risk, optimise press capacity and improve material utilisation while maintaining production stability.My experience combines deep simulation expertise with extensive press shop knowledge across tandem, transfer and progressive press lines above 2500T, including aluminium and series and ultra high strength steels.This combination allows me to bridge the gap between digital models, tooling behaviour and plant constraints so that engineering decisions remain valid under real production conditions.Extensive experience with AutoForm, CATIA, PAMSTAMP and advanced forming technologies applied across steel and aluminium structures.Trusted by OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers to validate feasibility, support stamping industrialisation and ensure forming simulations hold under real plant conditions.Alongside my engineering career, I serve the community as an On Call Firefighter with West Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service and as an elected Town Councillor for the South East Ward in Daventry. These roles reflect my commitment to responsibility, teamwork and service to the community.Available for advisory engagements supporting simulation validation, stamping industrialisation and technical discussions with OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers, from focused short term projects to longer strategic collaborations.Passionate about manufacturing excellence, engineering problem solving and supporting the next generation of engineers.Areas of Expertise• Automotive stamping manufacturing• Body in White industrialisation• Forming simulation validation• AutoForm simulation and feasibility• Press shop manufacturing optimisation• Stamping process feasibility• Aluminium forming technologies• Ultra high strength steel forming• OEM and Tier 1 technical support• Manufacturing launch risk reduction• Press capacity optimisation• Root cause analysis and manufacturing problem solving
