About Chaimaa Maghfour

I am a Mechanical Engineer and Edison Engineering Development Program (EEDP) graduate with 4.5 years of experience across mechanical design, structural analysis, thermal sciences, manufacturing engineering, and regulatory leadership. In my current role, I lead PFAS and restricted substance compliance initiatives for a $34B+ global company, managing complex environmental reporting (EPA, guiding cross-functional teams on data collection, and collaborating with engineering, sourcing, and digital teams to ensure robust data infrastructure. I am also completing my M.S. in Mechanical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University, focusing on thermal sciences, computational fluid dynamics (CFD), finite element analysis (FEA), thermal design analysis, and computational methods. Recent graduate work includes modal and dynamic random vibration analysis of lattice-structured aerospace wings using ANSYS Mechanical.I aim to advance my career as a Mechanical, Structural, or CFD Engineer, leveraging my engineering foundation, advanced simulation skills, and cross-functional leadership experience across diverse industries.
