MIXOT — P1 Inputs Gathering (active): Customer Discovery
Validated customer-problem fit through 60+ customer discovery interviews across European metalworking SMBs
Senior Mechanical Engineer and Technical Program Manager with 6+ years delivering electromechanical systems, now focused on closing the Physical AI deployment gap in manufacturing environments.
Engineered systems from concept to commissioning, owned full product lifecycles (NPI, regulatory compliance, sustaining engineering), and led cross-functional programs up to $10M+ scope with VP-level reporting.
Early-stage founder (MIXOT): conducted 60+ customer discovery interviews, built an 84-task automation feasibility framework, and qualified a $0.7M pilot customer before runway constraints ended operations.

Validated customer-problem fit through 60+ customer discovery interviews across European metalworking SMBs
Converted unstructured customer discovery into falsifiable system requirements that were prioritized, verification‑bound, and traceable to source.
Supported 30+ railway infrastructure bids, leading technical solution selection, requirements compliance reviews, validation‑gap identification, and cost estimation.
Implemented a Design Structure Matrix (DSM) for the electrification subsystem to ensure cross‑discipline alignment and proactively manage technical development risk.
Performed field and laboratory data analysis to identify and correct second‑order mechanical effects impacting system performance.
Led and executed cross-functional validation activities for the Toulouse Metro L3 urban project
Performed make‑vs‑buy analysis and unlocked in‑house process capabilities to reduce production costs and leverage purchasing power.
Led the technical release for the Italian market, ensuring compliance with local regulations and standards.
Supported Operations and Industrialization teams during first‑batch production for the Toulouse L3 project, ensuring Six Sigma quality standards and productivity targets were met.
Developed an online self-service product configuration tool, enabling the sales team to generate quotes in real time.
Refactored a 1,000‑part machinery assembly, redesigning 30 key components to make the machinery fully parameterized across the entire product family
Crafted detailed wiring diagrams for instrumentation in a dynamic weighing system
Performed European Union Machinery Directive compliance reviews and compiled full technical and quality dossiers; led Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) in front of the customer.
Collected and translated Mechanical/Industrial requirements through client specifications, commercial front end contacts and internal Subject Matter Expert (SME) input.
Co‑authored the technical sections of a commercial offer, including the product qualification strategy and FEA technical notes.
Performed over 20 FEA studies across 10 conceptual designs, using Matlab post‑processing scripts to support development of a low-end product.
Led detailed design of product family for high-pressure oil and gas applications, ensuring full compliance with [API 5C5] standards and alignment with proprietary manufacturing processes.
Designed and executed a validation program, including [DOE] planning, sample manufacturing coordination, and 1-week test, on a simulated oil rig, with an 8-member rig crew with negative results.
Engineered an opto‑mechanical inspection system integrated into the production line for quality control, enabling [100% in-line inspection] with automatic compensation for part and fixture variation, eliminating manual setup adjustments and replacing offline CMM sampling
Supported product release through manufacturing NPI documentation, technical sales training, and product marketing activities
Supported cross-functional resolution of industrial deviations and customer field claims for a 3,000-product portfolio.
