Matthieu Niess joined ESI in 2020, bringing with him his expertise in the automotive industry for both Body Engineering & Manufacturing, with a specialty for multi-material and electrification challenges.
During his 10 year experience with a major automotive Tier 1 company, Matthieu has been actively leading various Body-In-White product-process projects for rank 1 OEMs, with a constant focus on helping customers reaching an optimum balance between mass, performance and cost. This deep understanding of the car body industry provides him with a breeding ground for his current projects.
Matthieu holds a Post-Graduate Degree in Mechanical Engineering from the French Institute of Advanced Mechanics (IFMA) in Clermont-Ferrand, France.
Automotive companies strive to develop disruptive and sustainable mobility devices. Their carbon reduction objectives mostly translate into weight reduction targets ─ which conveniently fits the bill for increasing EV range. Introducing new materials and processes can be very tricky with regards to feasibility, as much as for final product performance that no one is ready to jeopardize. Not to mention cost – product development involving new materials and processes over which you have no experience is inevitably risky and full of surprises. Join ESI’s Matthieu Niess for a discussion of how ESI enables feasibility assessments, assembly process prediction, performance validation – all-virtual, cost-effective and “first time right”.
