Designed and modelled aerospace components using CAD tools, in particular CATIA and 3D Experience softwares, working with both metallic and composite materials to meet precise engineering specifications. Developed components and assemblies according to industry standards and customer requirements, ensuring full compliance with design criteria. Performed structural analysis on components to ensure validated performance under operational conditions.

Contributed to innovative aerospace projects, such as the UpNext hydrogen tank development for next-generation hydrogen-powered aircraft, applying cutting-edge materials and design techniques. Collaborated on civil aerospace projects, such as the A350 Cargo door, ensuring designs meet functionality, safety, and manufacturing requirements. Participated in military aerospace projects, including the Eurodrone MALE RPAS nacelle and pylon sections, integrating complex systems and structural components.

Conducted inspection and maintenance of aircraft systems, taxiways, runways, and aircraft stands to ensure operational safety and compliance with aviation regulations during winter conditions. Performed in-time diagnostics and forecasting of current and future weather conditions to predict the demand for winter crew and equipment, ensuring optimal airport operations without delays, congestion, or overbooking.

Coordinated with technical teams to implement preventive maintenance and optimize turnaround times for aircraft during the winter season. Conducted analyses of all necessary and available equipment on a daily basis, performing maintenance tasks to ensure no failures occur during critical operational hours.
