Valentin C.

Experience in industrial engineering within a large-scale lithium mining project in the Andes (4000 m altitude). Part of the commissioning and project engineering team, working on electrical engineering reviews, design corrections, and technical documentation. I coordinated field activities, verified installations against engineering requirements, and supported contractors during commissioning phases. My work included troubleshooting, electrical conformity checks, and ensuring that electrical systems matched the project specifications.

Consultant engineer at Merck, contributing to the development of a fully automated robotic cell for pharmaceutical quality-control operations. I worked across system architecture, mechanical and electrical design (CAD, schematics), prototyping, robotic/PLC programming, and integration of electromechanical subsystems. My role involved evaluating automation technologies, performing technical feasibility studies, supporting suppliers, and coordinating mechanical, electrical and software requirements to build a reliable, GMP-compliant solution. This experience gave me a strong background in mechatronics, systems thinking, robotics, and end-to-end industrial automation.

Apprentice industrial/mechanical engineer in the Methods department at Safran Landing Systems, within the Carbon unit producing aircraft carbon brake discs. I worked on process optimization, workflow improvement, and industrial performance enhancement across several production areas. I was also involved in the integration of two new robotic cells (painting and riveting), supporting installation, commissioning, troubleshooting, and ramp-up to operational performance.

My responsibilities included engineering reviews, workstation and process redesign, drafting technical specifications, evaluating supplier equipment, participating in supplier visits, and ensuring that delivered systems complied with engineering and operational requirements. This experience strengthened my background in industrial engineering, automation, robotics integration, and continuous improvement in a high-tech aerospace manufacturing environment.
