Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Guillaume
You have a mechanical product to design, a prototype to bring to fruition, or a design office to structure, I can help you.
As a mechanical engineer, I founded and led Revival Bionics, where I designed a propulsive robotic leg for amputees from scratch: architecture definition, sizing, justification files, supplier management, and preparation for certification (ISO 13485, ISO 22675, ISO 10328, IEC 60601). I also published two international patents.
What I can bring to your projects:
Where many engineers do design, I have also managed: recruitment, team training, management of 100+ suppliers, budget, intellectual property.
I am as comfortable with CAD software as I am in a design review meeting, a manufacturing workshop, or a strategic internal or external meeting.
My experience covers high-requirement sectors — medical, aeronautics, and lifting, which means I work with documentary rigor and a strong quality culture.
Typically, I intervene on:
Design and development of complex mechanical systems (CAD, calculations, drawing)
Prototyping and product development
Structuring and management of design offices
Coordination of engineers/drafters/suppliers
