Professional Experience
Arkeale
Mechanical Development Engineer - Final Year Project• Internship / PFE
Designed a biocapsule for organic waste valorization - 40 parts across 5 sub-assemblies - from concept through the full definition dossier, including 25 dimensioned and toleranced drawings per ISO 2768/1101/1302 with tolerance stack-ups and fits. Structured the product's technical data (BOM, assembly tree, revision indices, change traceability) for a PDM/PLM environment. Ran FEA on static and vibration behavior; structural optimization achieved an 18% mass reduction at equivalent stiffness. Wrote 3 technical dossiers and led prototyping, testing, and validation with 4 suppliers, cutting prototyping lead time by 20%.
Natilait
Automation and Process Control Engineer Intern• Internship
Analyzed and modeled production parameters (temperature, pressure) across 2 production lines. Designed and simulated a mechanical system and its PID control loop in MATLAB/Simulink, targeting a 12% reduction in energy losses. Integrated 15 sensors and SCADA supervision interfaces.
Cimenterie de Bizerte
Mechanical and Mechatronics Engineer Intern• Internship
Justified the structural integrity of 4 heavy equipment units (crushers, kilns) through finite element analysis in Abaqus, with dimensioning and drawings in CATIA V5 per ISO 2768/1101/1302. Conducted a feasibility study for a vibration monitoring system, including costing and installation recommendations. Diagnosed 6 recurring failures and proposed a reliability and preventive maintenance plan targeting a 15% reduction in unplanned downtime.

ISMANS CESI
Engineering Degree – Mechanical Modeling, Simulation & Optimization (MCOP)
I pursued an engineering degree in Mechanical Structure Modeling & Optimization (MCOP) at ISMANS CESI in France. This program strengthened my expertise in mechanical design, numerical simulation, finite element analysis, and structural optimization. Through advanced engineering projects, I developed skills in CAD modeling, mechanical validation, material selection, and product development, with a strong focus on designing efficient and reliable mechanical systems. My final-year project at Arkeale, Strasbourg, allowed me to apply these skills in an industrial R&D environment, working on the design and optimization of a biocapsule for organic waste valorization.
ESPRIT Engineering School | Tunis, Tunisia
Engineering Degree – Mechatronics Engineering
I completed my engineering degree in Mechatronics Engineering at ESPRIT Engineering School in Tunisia. This multidisciplinary program provided a strong foundation in mechanics, electronics, embedded systems, automation, and robotics. During this program, I worked on several engineering projects involving robotic systems, industrial automation, CNC machines, and intelligent mechanical systems, combining hardware and software solutions. This experience allowed me to develop a system-level engineering approach, from concept design and prototyping to control, integration, and validation.
