Project manager for mechatronic valves for the Dassault F6X at Liebherr. The aim was to qualify & deliver the mechatronic valves to the end customer by respecting the Validation & Verification (V&V) cycle of the EN-9100 standard.From the specifications diffused by Dassault then translated into requirements by the system department, find ways to prove the performance and resistance to the constraints of the valves.

The aim was to qualify & deliver the mechatronic valves to the end customer by respecting the Validation & Verification (V&V) cycle of the EN-9100 standard.From the specifications diffused by Dassault then translated into requirements by the system department, find ways to prove the performance and resistance to the constraints of the valves. The means to obtain evidence is determined during the Validation phase by tests, calculations or similarities. Proofs by similarities and calculations are under my responsibility as well as test methods and procedures.Once the evidence obtained, comes the Verification cycle where all the evidence are reviewed with the Quality department in order to qualify the equipment.F6X's mechatronics valves qualified SOF (Safety Of Flight).Project management and management skills developed.

Evaluate the production cost of subsystems of the A320, A350, A330 and A380 aircrafts in order to facilitate the purchasing department to negotiate with suppliers. My skills in mechatronics allowed me to specialize in actuators. Through using the types of actuators, the necessary powers, the characteristics in the required dimensions, the mechanical constraints, the way the parts are machined and the technical constraints due to aeronautics as entry points, I created a costing file… Show more Evaluate the production cost of subsystems of the A320, A350, A330 and A380 aircrafts in order to facilitate the purchasing department to negotiate with suppliers.

This file describes the functioning, the constraints and the objectives of the system as well as all the sub assembly parts and their production costs. Electric / hydraulic controllers and driving power systems of the A350's spoilers estimated. Show less

In the design office, design of a system that generates energy from solar panels & a generator to guarantee a 5-days autonomy for the base station of a tethered balloon. Sizing the power chain supply with all the switching power supply & elements to get the final power to supply. Analysis of sunlight exposure from places where the aerostat will be deployed. From these numbers, extract the power to bring by the generator. The concepts of solar energy storage, battery recharge time… Show more In the design office, design of a system that generates energy from solar panels & a generator to guarantee a 5-days autonomy for the base station of a tethered balloon. Sizing the power chain supply with all the switching power supply & elements to get the final power to supply. Analysis of sunlight exposure from places where the aerostat will be deployed. From these numbers, extract the power to bring by the generator. The concepts of solar energy storage, battery recharge time, their longevity, the minimum of human interactions for maximum system autonomy, its bulkiness on the base station and prices have been studied and resolved. Each of these stages are accompanied by a choice of equipment and supplier contacts in order to guarantee the technical solutions corresponding to the specifications. System designed and items purchased. Show less

Context : A tethered aerostat is spread above disaster or high-risk areas and the on-board facilities must be operational longer than the in-vehicle battery permits. The purpose was to develop systems able to charge the battery on the tethered aerostat. Two tracks have been tested: by wind power and by high-power laser aimed from ground-level. A wind-driven working prototype was established. As for the high-power laser, another service handled the design of both the laser and the photovoltaic… Show more Context : A tethered aerostat is spread above disaster or high-risk areas and the on-board facilities must be operational longer than the in-vehicle battery permits. The purpose was to develop systems able to charge the battery on the tethered aerostat. Two tracks have been tested: by wind power and by high-power laser aimed from ground-level. A wind-driven working prototype was established. As for the high-power laser, another service handled the design of both the laser and the photovoltaic receiver. On grounds of mass, efficiency and safety, we had to assess the performances of the servoassisted created system and determine the optimal size of said receiver. The tethered aerostat can be used up 150m high.Subject : Power generation onboard a tethered aerostat.Position : Design Engineer Assignments : 1)Design of a wind system generator.-Choose a type of wind turbine, design it on Solidworks and 3D printing.-Choice and implementation of the dynamo.-Choice, design and achievement of the switching power supply.
