Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

With nearly 8 years of experience in the industry (aerospace, defense, naval, automotive, boilermaking), in positions of calculation engineer, mechanical design engineer, or manager of complex mechanical projects, I decided to create my own mechanical design office (TECACEM) in St Brieuc with the ambition of supporting industrial companies in their mechanical engineering needs.

TECACEM therefore offers:

- Carrying out pre-projects or complete study projects based on a defined or co-defined specification,

- Support on mechanical R&D topics,

- Structural calculation services (static, vibratory, dynamic, etc.) with detailed calculation reports according to applicable standards.
