About Zouhair

Hello, I am Zouhair ED-DARDI, an engineer specializing in the control and modeling of complex systems, with particular expertise in automation and mechatronics. A graduate of the University of Bordeaux, I have acquired solid experience in designing control systems for the aeronautics sector.

Throughout my career, I have worked for prestigious companies such as Thales Alinea Space, Liebherr Aerospace, and Destinus.
At Destinus, I designed control systems for advanced hydrogen-based test facilities in Switzerland, where I implemented cutting-edge equipment like hydrogen turbojets. My role also involved developing human-machine interfaces in C code and automating test procedures, demonstrating my ability to optimize processes and improve efficiency.

I possess expertise in system modeling and identification, a skill I applied at Liebherr by working on the air systems of various aircraft such as the Ejet 175, Clean Sky 2, and Global 7000. My approach emphasizes understanding client needs and adapting solutions to meet those requirements effectively.

My language proficiency includes French and English. I am also skilled in using various tools and software such as MATLAB & SIMULINK, DYMOLA, and Python, which allows me to adapt easily to different work environments and collaborate effectively within multicultural teams.

I am recognized for my creativity, teamwork skills, and communication abilities. My goal as a freelancer is to leverage these skills for innovative and challenging projects, thereby contributing to technological advancement in my field of expertise.
