Baden, Aargau, Switzerland
Manufacturing Engineer/Manager with practical and theoretical experience in Laser Powder Bed Fusion, Computed Tomography, Heat Treatments and, Data Science/Machine Learning. My key competence is the research and development of Powder Bed Fusion Technologies and it's optimization for process stability, repeatability, and efficiency through the development of exposure parameters, novel designs and new production methods. Reliable and timely implementation of new methods into production is a key aspect of my work, often requiring unconventional approaches and out-of-the-box thinking. I am a multilingual and internationally experienced professional with a Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering and a postgraduate degree in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning. I am a passionate designer with a background in materials science and supply chain. I embrace new opportunities to work at the forefront of technology.
