About Jerome

I specialize in the mechanical design of machines, equipment, and technical products, with over 20 years of experience in mechanical development and industrialization.

I support projects from the concept phase to production, handling mechanical architecture, detailed design, 3D modeling with SolidWorks, drawing creation, and the compilation of usable technical files.

I also provide support to design offices when teams face workload, deadline, or increasing complexity constraints, with the ability to be quickly autonomous and operational.

Technical project management and coordination are integral parts of my responsibilities, ensuring consistency between design, industrialization, and field constraints.

Finally, I participate in prototyping, assembly, and validation phases, with an approach focused on reliability, cost control, and iteration reduction.
