I have always been passionate about visual art. In 2018 I decided to further develop my hobby, by undertaking it in a more professional way. This is how my small enterprise "Lry Makers" was born and today I offer my services as photographer to individuals and professionals. Pour plus d'informations/ more info: https://www.Lrymakers.com/ or @Lrymakers on instagram This parallel activity perfectly combines with my job as an engineer and allows me to continue exercising my entrepreneurial, creative and rigorous skills, as well as helping me to improve my client prospecting, communication and business skills.
AER is a design office, created in 1994, which is part of the ALCEN group (currently with 33 subsidiaries worldwide) and is located in Chevilly-Larue in Val-de-Marne (94, France) I worked at AER as a mechanical (design) engineer apprentice between 2013 and 2016 as part of my engineering degree (50% at CNAM school, 50% at AER company) Main topic: Energy storage by Flywheel Energy storage by flywheel consists of storing kinetic energy thanks to the rotation of a heavy wheel, driven by an electric motor, and then restoring this energy using the motor in reverse as a generator of electricity. Main tasks: - Design of mechanical parts/ systems, toolings and jigs in 3D CAD (Pro Engineer), - Creation of 2D drawings, parts lists and quality documents, - Research and selection of standard components, - Performance of numerical simulations on Ansys Workbench 16.0 correlated with calculation notes, - Realization of system assembly scenarios (to visualise how we could assemble the flywheel before trials), - Participation to the Flywheel assembly, - Participation in various tests on industrial site, - Analysis of tests and technical reports. I had the chance to follow this topic from the design phase, through simulations, manufacturing, system assembly, testing, to final testing on industrial site.
- Integration and onboarding of new consultants starting a project at TME, - Acting as first point of contact for the consultants on site, - Fostering of Alten-TME team spirit (afterwork activities and team building), - Acting as bridge between Alten consultants and managers, - Sharing best practices with consultants, - Following-up the mood of the teams.
After my studies, I took the decision to leave my country to try a new life experience, alone, in Australia in order to travel, go out of my comfort zone, improve my English, open my mind and develop my soft skills as well. Thanks to my WHV, I could work as a bartender, waiter, hostel receptionist, product seller and home removalist but also travel around Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapour, Fiji islands, New Zealand and French Polynesia. I had the chance to meet so many people from various countries with different personalities, skills and life goals. This amazing experience changed me in a positive way. I came back with a different mindset and I improved myself on many aspects. This year has been really fantastic and I'm pretty sure that will stay one of the best experience of my life. Today, I feel ready to start a new career as a mechanical engineer able to work on lots of different innovative subjects to build the World of "tomorrow".
As an engine design engineer, the 3 main activities are: 1) Increasing localisation of engine parts in EU - from sourcing to start of production; 2) Working on cost reduction activities - keeping in mind functionality, safety, performance, quality and side effects; 3) Supporting mass production issues related to engine parts (problem identification, R/C analysis, develop countermeasures, evaluate back-up options) #Toyota #TME #engineer #mobility #automotive #kaizen #continuousimprovement #ingénieur #ingénieurmécanique #responsableprojet #automobile #améliorationcontinue
