Aspiring to perfect my technical English while working on an engineering project, I'm actively seeking a professional opportunity where I can apply my mechanical design and project management skills, while developing my command of the English language in a stimulating professional environment.

SKILLS
Creativity
Precision Engineering
Groundbreaking Solutions
Boundary-Pushing
Functional Excellence

My background

I am a mechanical designer in industry. My skills range are in several areas of a project.

The technical part, mechanical analysis:

Analysis of system mechanics, analysis of resistance mechanics, choice of materials, optimization: cost/solutions, CAD/DAO

The management part

Manage a team to achieve a common goal. Set up intuitive and pleasant management tools to communicate about the objectives and results of a project.

Eager to collaborate with a creative team, my goal is to synergize my technical acuity and imaginative thinking, ensuring that every project I undertake achieves not only functional excellence, but also a touch of innovation that differentiates it from others.

Together, let's embark on a journey where the precision of engineering harmonizes with the art of design, pushing boundaries and creating a future where form and function coexist.

The financial analysis part

1 : Triggering the project- orientation of actions

+ Identification of project requirements : (Understand project objectives, customer or organizational needs, and general expectations.);
+Implementation of specific initiatives to achieve defined objectives
+Analysis of external specifications and drafting of internal specifications. 
+ Identification of necessary resources. + Risk assessment
+ Validation of feasibility
+ Establish a project team:
+ Identify project team members and define their roles and responsibilities.

2 : Searching for information

+ Understand a context + Benchmarking, risk identification, innovation, patent research.
+ Definition of research objectives: Clarify the specific objectives of the project, including the research questions and areas of innovation targeted.
+Literature reviews: Review existing work in the research field to understand the current state of knowledge, recent advances, and identify gaps in the literature.
+Data collection: Gather relevant data through experiments, surveys, statistical analysis, or other methods, depending on the nature of the project.
+Technological and competitive intelligence: Monitor recent technological developments and assess competing activities in the field of innovation to keep abreast of market trends and avoid duplication of effort.
+Patent research: Examine patent databases to ensure that no existing patents restrict the project's freedom of operation, and identify opportunities for collaboration.
+Expert consultation: Interact with experts in the field to gather ideas, advice and benefit from their specialized knowledge.
+Data analysis: Process and analyze collected data in order to extract meaningful information, identify trends, and generate insights to guide the project.
+Integration of results: Synthesize the information gathered to develop a holistic understanding of the field of innovation and inform the next phase of the project.
+Relevance assessment: Evaluate the relevance of the information gathered to the project's objectives, adjusting the research direction if necessary.
+Documentation: Carefully document all information collected, methods used, results obtained, and sources to ensure traceability and transparency.

3 : Functional analysis

+Design management: FAST, AMDEC, reporting tools (gantt,excel). Interaction: engineers, PhDs.
+Requirements identification: Understand the needs of users, customers and stakeholders. What problems or opportunities require an innovative solution?
+Decomposition of functions: Divide the system or product into functional components. Each function represents a specific task or capability that the system must fulfill.
+Function hierarchy: Organize functions into a hierarchical structure to show the relationships and dependencies between them. This can include main functions and sub-functions.
+Analysis of constraints: Identify technical, economic, regulatory and other constraints that may influence project design and development.
+Performance evaluation: Define performance criteria for each function to measure the success of the system or product. This may include indicators of quality, durability, cost, etc.
+Solutions research: Explore different ways of meeting identified needs, using creative and innovative approaches. This may include existing solutions or the design of new ones.

4 :Searching for solutions

+Design physical principles and technological functions +Design technological solutions.
+Generate ideas: Encourage creativity and divergent thinking to generate a wide range of potential ideas in response to the needs of the project.
+Brainstorming: Facilitating brainstorming sessions where team members can contribute freely to idea generation without censorship.
+Concept analysis: Examine and evaluate the ideas generated to identify those that are the most promising in terms of innovation, feasibility and effectiveness.
+Prototyping: Creating prototypes or mock-ups of selected concepts to better understand how they work and their viability. Prototypes can take different forms, from simple sketches to physical models.
+Preliminary testing: Carry out preliminary tests on prototypes to assess how they work initially and identify any adjustments needed.
+Assessment of advantages and disadvantages: Examine the potential advantages, disadvantages and implications of each solution, taking into account various criteria such as technical feasibility, cost-effectiveness and environmental impact.
+Iterations : Continuously improve solutions based on feedback, testing and evaluation. Iterations enable concepts to be refined to make them more effective and better adapted to the needs of the project.
+Interdisciplinary collaboration: Encouraging collaboration between experts in different fields to encourage innovative approaches and a diversity of perspectives.
+Feasibility analysis: Assess the technical, financial and time feasibility of each solution to ensure that they can be successfully implemented.
+Selection of the optimum solution: After evaluating different options, choose the solution that best meets the project's needs and offers the greatest potential for innovation.

5 : Solution ranking

+ Definition of ranking criteria: Identify the performance criteria, project objectives, constraints and priorities that will serve as the basis for evaluating and ranking solutions.
+Weighing the criteria: If some criteria are more important than others, weight them according to their relative importance in the success of the project.
+Quantitative and qualitative evaluation: Evaluate each solution using quantitative and qualitative measures based on the predefined criteria. This may include financial indicators, technical performance, environmental aspects, etc.
+Direct comparison: Compare solutions directly against each other by placing them in competition on each criterion.
+Revisions and adjustments: If necessary, revise the ranking based on feedback from the team or new information.
+Documentation: Carefully document the ranking process, the criteria used, the results obtained and the reasons behind the choices made.
+Communication of results: Communicate the results of the ranking to all project stakeholders to obtain their feedback and ensure transparency in the decision-making process.
+Ranking solutions helps to select the best option from several alternatives, taking into account a variety of factors relevant to the project. It is a crucial step in guiding the project towards the most promising and realistic solution.
