As a Senior Automation Engineer and Project Manager, I was responsible for developing automation projects from concept to final delivery, covering both the engineering and managerial aspects.

Starting from a blank page, I defined the technical solution, selected the most suitable technologies, and guided the project through all phases.

This included the creation of mechanical layouts (in collaboration with mechanical engineers), electrical schematics, and the full development of control and robotic software.

Key responsibilities included:

PLC programming on Siemens (S7-200, 300, 1200, 1500) and Allen-Bradley platforms.

Robot programming and integration with KUKA and Yaskawa robots for automation, handling, and packaging solutions.

Design of electrical schematics and coordination with electrical engineering teams.

Mechanical concept design, defining automation strategies and selecting key technologies.

Project management, overseeing timelines, resources, and customer requirements to deliver turnkey solutions.

System integration and commissioning, both in-house and on-site, ensuring high performance, safety, and reliability.

Collaboration with multidisciplinary engineering teams to guarantee seamless execution and innovative solutions.

This role reinforced my expertise in industrial automation, PLC programming, robotics integration (KUKA & Yaskawa), electrical and mechanical engineering, and project leadership, enabling me to successfully deliver complex, high-performance automation systems worldwide.

As Automation & Designer Engineer, I was responsible for developing complete automation solutions for secondary packaging machinery, from initial design to final delivery. My role combined both software development and system design, ensuring seamless integration between mechanical, electrical, and control systems.

Key responsibilities included:

PLC software development on platforms such as Siemens, Lenze, Allen-Bradley, and others.

Designing and implementing automation architectures tailored to packaging lines.

Integration of robotics, sensors, and motion systems to achieve efficient and flexible solutions.

Testing, debugging, and optimization of control software to guarantee precision, reliability, and reduced downtime.

On-site commissioning and customer support, ensuring smooth machine start-up and successful handover.

Collaboration with cross-functional teams (mechanical/electrical engineering) to deliver turnkey automation projects.

This role strengthened my expertise in industrial automation, PLC programming, robotics integration, and packaging systems design, allowing me to deliver innovative solutions that improve efficiency, flexibility, and production performance.

As Automation Engineer at Airborne Composites Automation, my primary role was to program, configure, and commission advanced machinery dedicated to the aerospace and aeronautics sectors.

I was directly involved in the development of automated solutions for composite manufacturing, ensuring compliance with the extremely high standards of precision, reliability, and safety required in these industries.

Key responsibilities included:

PLC and robotics programming for composite processing equipment.

Machine setup, calibration, and optimization to guarantee accuracy and performance.

On-site commissioning, testing, and validation of automation systems in aerospace facilities.

Integration of robotics, motion control, and sensor systems for high-precision applications.

Collaboration with multidisciplinary engineering teams (mechanical, electrical, process) to deliver complete and reliable turnkey automation solutions.

Customer training and technical support, ensuring long-term operability and efficiency.

This role allowed me to gain strong expertise in aerospace-grade automation, with a focus on composite material processing, high-precision machinery, and robotics integration, contributing to innovation and performance in aeronautical manufacturing.
