Background

I’m a mechanical engineer with experience in design, tooling, and project management, gained through a 3-year work-study program and an internship in Canada. I’ve worked in the aerospace, automotive, and heavy industry sectors. Skilled in 3D CAD (CATIA, SolidWorks), additive manufacturing, and production processes like CNC machining and welding, I enjoy working on technical projects and creating innovative solutions in collaborative environments.

Job experience

• September 2021 - September 2024
  Mechanical Design and Project Engineer
  Latesys
  

  Sainte-Foy-d'Aigrefeuille, France

  Three-year work-study experience during engineering degree
  Company specialized in designing and manufacturing assembly lines for aerospace, space, and automotive sectors.
  Design of mechanical and automated assembly lines, as well as custom tooling, for Airbus (aeronautics), Airbus Defence and Space (satellites), Vitesco Technologies (automotive), and Safran Electronics & Defense.
  Involved in projects within the Technology Development department, working in direct collaboration with Airbus’s Innovation division. This included managing production work packages for partially automated assembly lines integrating custom robotic solutions developed with KUKA and FANUC. These stations were designed to assemble aircraft fuselage sections with high precision, correcting floor panel manufacturing deviations and reducing structural stress during flight.
  Full project lifecycle management, from initial concept to final delivery. Responsibilities included requirements definition, action planning, cost control, cross-functional coordination, and client/supplier reviews.
  Mechanical design and structural sizing performed using CATIA V5 and SolidWorks. Development of prototypes using 3D printing technologies, including final part production with an Ultimaker S7 and Cura software, execution of testing phases, and preparation of comprehensive technical documentation (drawings, reports, project files).
  On-site manufacturing follow-up and regular technical communication with production teams, clients, and suppliers to ensure quality and compliance of all deliverables.

  Mechanical Engineering Internship
  Latesys Canada
  

  Brossard, QC, Canada

  Involved in several aerospace projects, including the mechanical design of assembly lines, compliance upgrades, and ergonomic improvements of existing lines for shop floor operators.
  Developed technical solutions, performed mechanical design and structural sizing of aerospace assembly tooling using CATIA and SolidWorks.
  Participated in project coordination and follow-up, including regular communication with subcontractors and clients, as well as the drafting of specific technical documentation.

• March 2021 - August 2021
  Mechanical Design Technician
  Savco
  

  Saverdun, France

  Design, Methods, and Quality Technician – Heavy Steel Fabrication
  Worked in the engineering office of a company specialized in the design of hydroelectric infrastructure (dam valves, stoplogs, penstocks).
  Design and structural analysis of dam valves, stoplogs, penstocks, and specialized tooling, carried out using TopSolid and RDM6.
  Created assembly and manufacturing drawings; sized tooling for handling, transport, and support.
  Managed production activities in direct collaboration with the workshop; performed non-destructive testing (dye penetrant, ultrasonic, etc.).
  Contributed to the development of welding procedures: drafted WPS (DMOS), qualified PQR (QMOS), and prepared technical calculation notes and documentation related to non-destructive testing (NDT).
  Improved operator workstations through ergonomic redesigns to enhance safety and optimize efficiency.

Education
