Basel, Basel, Switzerland
Multidisciplinary Engineer with a PhD in Electrochemistry and extensive experience across Pharma, Aerospace, Telecom and Oil & Gas. Uniquely skilled at bridging the gap between Materials Science (e.g. Polymers, Nanomaterials) and Engineering Design (e.g. CAD, Additive Manufacturing) to solve complex production challenges. Proven track record of contributing to launch high-value medical products, reducing manufacturing lead times by 79%, and cutting prototyping costs by 60%. An agile learner and hands-on innovator who thrives in cross-functional teams to drive projects from concept to commercialization.
● Product Launch & Commercialization: Successfully contributed to the market launch of two distinct high-value products: a Gene Therapy (Non-combination product) and an Ophthalmic Pre-Filled Syringe (Combination Product), ensuring full technical readiness and regulatory compliance. ● Strategic Engineering: Selected as a core technical contributor for one of the company's most visible flagship projects, driving packaging innovation for next-generation delivery systems. ● Technical Liaison: Acted as the primary technical bridge between Development, Quality, and Suppliers. Resolved complex material defects and supply chain risks to maintain project timelines. ● GMP Documentation: Managed full-cycle verification activities, authoring robust risk assessments, requirements documents, and protocols to ensure smooth industrialization.
● Process Optimization (79% Lead Time Reduction): Engineered a manufacturing breakthrough for a major Oil & Gas client. Reorganized assembly line resources to slash delivery time from 432 days to 90 days, fulfilling a critical high-volume order. ● Innovation & Cost Reduction: Led the prototyping of an Aerospace Optical Ice Sensor. Proposed and implemented Metal 3D Printing (SLS/SLM) to replace traditional tooling, reducing project costs by 60% (£200k to £80k). ● Cross-Functional Leadership: Directed a team of up to 10 engineers and technicians. Served as the operational bridge between R&D, Manufacturing, and Quality to deliver high-performance interconnects for Military and Subsea environments. ● Quality Engineering: Managed Root Cause Analysis (RCA) and defined incoming inspection parameters for raw materials, ensuring strict adherence to design specs.
● Material Innovation: Developed a novel thermally conductive coating using carbon nanomaterials and green solvents, significantly enhancing electrical conductivity and product safety. ● Process R&D: Led a project to optimize energy usage and reliability in Copper Metal 3D printing processes in partnership with industry leaders. ● Advanced Characterization: Performed data interpretation and surface analysis using High-Resolution SEM and TEM to validate material performance
Design and development of new materials using carbon nanotubes as electrode platform for biosensors and electronic tongues. Miniaturization of the device using ink-like materials and screen-printing techniques.
