Context:Avdef is subsidiary of Airbus Defense & Space, partner of Defense, Industries and Government Agencies providing specialized aerial services. Including the modification of company owned aircrafts (Dassault Falcon 10) in order to support the development and flight qualification of industrial projects (e.g. Virtual cockpit vision, on-board connectivity with Thales), thanks to EASA certifications (DOA Part 21J/ POA Part 21G).Responsibilities: - Lead the project development & qualification activities to successfully complete aircraft modification projects in compliance with technical requirements & cost / planning objectives;- Manage a team of multidisciplinary specialists in a certified Design Office organization;- Carry out project reviews and execute phase reviews (PDR/CDR/QR) with customer;- Ensure the interface with customers (Thales, Onera, Airbus ...) and external stakeholders- Provide accurate reporting on project performance and status to the management.

Context:APCO Technologies is a Switzerland company, specialized in the design and manufacturing of mechanical and electromechanical equipment for Space, Energy and Industry applications. I had the opportunity to support the qualification of a complex Ground Support Equipment, for Ariane 5 applications, developed and manufactured in APCO's headquarters in Switzerland.The GST3 (“Groupe de Servitudes en Transfert” – see illustration below) is a 47 meters long train, with a total weight of 145 tons, which provides all the necessary resources (energy, HVAC, pressurised fluids...) to the Ariane 5 Launch Vehicle during its transfer from the Final Assembly Building to the launch pad.Responsibilities:- Ensure the technical supervision of the assembly and on-site qualification of a critical Ground Support Equipment, with strong planning constraints due to the need for Ariane 5 launch campaign execution;- Coordinate technical team during on-site assembly, finalization and qualification activities taking into consideration both operational & safety constraints. Monitor & report on progress with headquarters and customer;- Support real-time anomaly treatment during on-site qualification activities.

Context:APCO Technologies is a Switzerland company, specialized in the design and manufacturing of mechanical and electromechanical equipment for Space, Energy and Industry applications. APCO Technologies also provides technical services and expertise to CNES, Arianespace and satellite primes at the European Space Port. I was part of the mechanical and fluidic department of the Design Office in charge of the coordination of modifications, evolutions of the Launch Complex installations under exploitation for Ariane 5 / Soyuz / Vega missions.As project manager, I also had the opportunity to coordinate the qualification of major mechanical systems developed and manufactured in the headquarters in Switzerland. For example the New "LCAM" mechanical ground equipment providing access at the latest during on-ground launch campaign preparation activities to the inner cargo bay of the Automated Transfer Vehicle ATV. Responsibilities:In charge of the coordination of European Space Center’s ground installations evolutions (Launch vehicle & satellite propellant networks, MGSE...). Act as focal point with customer for the coordination of each modification project, including:- Propose technical solutions, with technical & financial trade-off- Elaborate design and justification files in order to demonstrate technical feasibility- Manage calls for tenders with industries- Present the technical solution and associated financial proposal to the acceptation board composed of technical authorities- Organize and follow-up on-site reworking activities with strong operational constraints, until qualification and commissioning of the modified/new installations- Ensuring the industrial team achieves the required performance in terms of schedule, budget and technical requirements- Manage the qualification of complex Ground Support Equipments (such as the "New LCAM”): coordination of on-site activities, ensure communication with design authority and customers, anomaly treatment...

Review the justification files related to the future aircraft engines (Leap, Silvercrest and TP400) and participate to the review meetings with the airworthiness authorities (EASA and FAA).
