Description

Need to optimize your industrial processes or design innovative technical solutions?

Electromechanical Engineer with over 8 years of experience within global leaders such as Hutchinson and Lacroix Electronics, I support companies in their industrialization, CAD design, and continuous improvement challenges.

What I bring to your projects:

- Design Expertise (CAD/CAO): Advanced mastery of SolidWorks (Certified CSWP/CSWA) and CATIA V5 for the design of parts, complex tooling (molds, jigs), and 3D prototyping solutions.

- Industrialization & Methods: Complete management of the product lifecycle, from feasibility study to mass production. Expert in ERP/SAP data management (BOM, routings).

- Performance & Lean Manufacturing: Production optimization using VSM, SMED, 5S, and Kaizen tools. I have notably succeeded in reducing series changeover times by 75% and production errors by 25% in my previous roles.

- Quality & Standards: Rigorous expertise in aeronautical quality standards (ISO 9100) and automotive standards (IATF 16949, APQP, FMEA).
