I lead engineering teams and digital engineering initiatives for safety-critical aerospace programs. My strength is systems thinking: understanding how architecture, safety, certification, validation, tooling, people, and delivery constraints interact as one system. I combine a strong technical background in aerospace systems, MBSE, safety and reliability engineering, and certification with a first-principles approach to engineering leadership: - What problem are we actually solving? - Does the architecture justify the complexity we are introducing? - Where are tools or processes slowing the team down? I aim to build and contribute to engineering environments where teams think clearly, challenge assumptions, reduce unnecessary complexity, and pursue ambitious objectives with discipline. At Anzen Engineering, I lead digital engineering strategy and high-value aerospace programs, including ASCEND and VARIANT. I manage and mentor multidisciplinary systems engineering teams, define digital engineering roadmap priorities, and guide the evolution of tools such as ATICA and RAPTOR. My background spans the full aircraft lifecycle: certification and airworthiness coordination on the A330 MRTT, model-based avionics development, safety analysis under ARP4761, reliability engineering, and systems architecture for complex aerospace environments. My focus is on growing from engineering lead into engineering management: building teams and technical capabilities that can handle systems complexity with clarity, discipline, and purpose.
Lead digital engineering strategy and high-value programs within safety-critical environments. - Manage and mentor a multidisciplinary team of 5-10 systems engineers, driving consistency, performance, and technical growth. - Define and execute Anzen’s Digital Engineering roadmap, aligning technical capability development with strategic program growth. - Serve as Technical Lead for European aerospace programs including ASCEND and VARIANT, each with ~€1M awarded funding. - Architect complex avionics and safety-critical systems using Capella and Cameo/MagicDraw, embedding ARP4761 safety methodologies directly into MBSE workflows. - Lead evolution of ATICA, enhancing digital thread traceability, safety artifact automation, and engineering governance. - Lead evolution of RAPTOR, a web-based tool for developing reliability prediction reports. - Conduct pre-sales technical leadership: lead client workshops, define solution architectures, and support proposal strategy for aerospace and defense customers. - Identify and secure innovation opportunities through European Defense Funds, ESA programs, and CDTI initiatives. - Drive internal AI initiatives to augment engineering workflows using AI agents.
Delivering model-based systems engineering (MBSE) and safety solutions for critical aerospace programs using Digital Engineering tools, including Anzen's proprietary platform, ATICA. - Model complex avionics systems with Capella and Cameo/MagicDraw, aligning with stakeholder requirements. - Define and generate custom viewpoints in the form of diagrams, tables, and autogenerated documentation. - Create custom metamodels in Capella and profiles in Cameo. - Apply ARP4761 and MIL-HDBK-217 standards for safety and reliability engineering in avionics projects. - Lead ATICA development, enhancing MBSE capabilities through tool plug-in creation. - Lead Artificial Intelligence efforts within Anzen. - Participated in projects such as: 1. The CORSARIO project. 2. The ASCEND project.
I was promoted to service focal. I combined this job with my role as avionics engineer. - Manage a team of 5 engineers in their daily tasks. - Onboarding and mentoring of junior engineers. - Report to client (Airbus Defence). - Preparation of new business proposals.
Led MBSE initiatives for the A330 MRTT program, focusing on avionics system design, simulation, and validation. - Designed models in Simulink and Simscape for avionics subsystems including Navigation, Surveillance, and Mission Systems. - Developed Stateflow-based functional tests to digitally validate wiring diagrams. - Built complete systems models for Controls & Displays and Radio Management Systems. - Managed end-to-end system development: from requirements definition to digital validation. - Collaborated in Agile teams, applying iterative development practices.
Owned certification and airworthiness deliverables for Airbus A330 MRTT aircraft. - Authored and validated Airplane Flight Manual (AFM) limitations, emergency, and abnormal procedures. - Liaised with EASA and INTA airworthiness authorities for continuous certification. - Conducted safety and operational reviews, ensuring alignment with aircraft systems evolution. - Supported the creation of certification data packs for new aircraft configurations.
Contributed to the R&D of a new Bleed Air technology for Airbus civil aircraft. - Modeled system behavior using VBA simulations; built 3D component prototypes using CATIA v5 and 3D printing. - Drafted technical documentation for integration and feasibility reviews.
Developed a weather clustering algorithm to enhance 4D trajectory prediction models for aircraft simulation. - Applied Machine Learning techniques including PCA and k-Means Clustering. - Integrated weather behavior insights into predictive flight path modeling tools.
