Engineering. Simulation. Electronics. Reliability.
Solder Soldiers is a multidisciplinary engineering team working on technical challenges, engineering competitions and research — from mechanical design and simulation to testing and reliability.
Five steps that every project runs through, from the first CAD sketch to a result we can stand behind.
01 / 05
CAD, mechanical components and technical drawings.
02 / 05
Structural and thermal-mechanical analysis.
03 / 05
Custom test jigs and laboratory measurement.
04 / 05
Correlation between prediction and measurement.
05 / 05
Competitions and technical conferences.
Engineering disciplines we work in. Skills are demonstrated through projects, not percentages.
Component and assembly design driven by function, loads and manufacturability.
Experimental and analytical characterization of engineering materials to determine the mechanical, thermal and physical properties required for accurate simulation, design and reliability assessment.
Load paths, stiffness and failure modes assessed analytically and numerically.
Lifetime and failure-mechanism assessment instead of single-point verification.
Coupled thermal and mechanical response under cycling and transient loads.
Parametric 3D models and drawings prepared to engineering documentation standards.
Design and fabrication of custom test fixtures and experimental setups tailored to specific mechanical, thermal and reliability testing requirements.
Measurement campaigns that confirm — or correct — what the models predicted.
Literature-grounded studies prepared for conferences and technical review.
Competition entries, conference research and ongoing work, newest first.

Mentor & Team Coordinator
Doctor of Engineering at the National University of Science and Technology POLITEHNICA Bucharest, Department of Strength of Materials. Coordinates the team across every engineering discipline it works in, from design and simulation through to testing and reliability.
PhD Student in Mechanical Engineering
Teaching assistant in the Department of Strength of Materials at the National University of Science and Technology POLITEHNICA Bucharest. First place at TIE-M Plus 2025 and finalist at IEEE ESTC 2026. Contributes to both ongoing ASSET-IXC research projects on heterogeneous integration and advanced microelectronics technologies.
Mechanical Engineer, Master's Student
Driven by finite element modelling and a long-standing fascination with rocketry — the kind of structures where analysis has to be right the first time. Second place at TIE-M Plus 2026, finalist at IEEE ESTC 2026 and preparing for EPTC 2026, alongside both ongoing ASSET-IXC research projects.
Automotive Engineer, Master's Student
Approaches engineering with strong research instincts and an appetite for picking up new skills wherever a project demands them. Finalist at IEEE ESTC 2026 and active on both ongoing ASSET-IXC research projects.
Mechanical Engineer, Master's Student
Studies at the Politehnica University of Timișoara, working from a strong finite element background and a broad enough engineering toolkit to weigh trade-offs and commit to a decision. First place at TIE-M Plus 2026, finalist at IEEE ESTC 2026 and part of the team for EPTC 2026.
New members soon
Bachelor Student, Industrial Engineering
Drawn to CAD and hands-on testing, and quick to pick up whatever a project asks for next. Contributes to both ongoing ASSET-IXC research projects and is preparing for EPTC 2026.
