I am a mechanical constructor with a background in product design, focused on the development of complete products and technical systems from concept to production. My experience covers both engineering and design, allowing me to combine technical feasibility with a strong sense for form, usability, and detail. In my previous roles, I have worked on end-to-end product development, including concept creation, 3D CAD modeling, detailed drawings, and manufacturing documentation. I am familiar with developing components and assemblies across various manufacturing processes, including metal fabrication, forming methods (bending, hydroforming, deep drawing), as well as plastics and additive manufacturing such as 3D printing. A key part of my work is ensuring that designs are feasible, cost-efficient, and suitable for production and assembly. I have experience coordinating with suppliers, supporting production, and improving designs based on feedback from assembly and manufacturing. I have also created assembly instructions and contributed to change management and continuous product improvement. Through my studies in product design, I have strengthened my ability to approach development from a user- and design-oriented perspective. I work with fast iterations, sketches, and prototypes to quickly validate ideas, proportions, and functions before refining them in CAD. I have hands-on experience in prototyping, including operating and maintaining 3D printers (Formlabs), and I am comfortable building and testing functional prototypes. I am used to working in a structured and solution-oriented way, both independently and within interdisciplinary teams. From a tools perspective, I work with SolidWorks (including PDM/ePDM), Siemens NX, and have experience with SAP and Abacus. For design and visualization, I use Rhino, Adobe Creative Suite, and Cinema 4D. At MBV, I developed airborne germ samplers, taking responsibility for subprojects including design, coordination, and implementation. At Burckhardt, I contributed to the development of valve systems.

Work Experience

Design Engineer at MBV AG
February 1, 2020 - December 30, 2023
My main responsibilities included the mechanical design and development of devices, accessories, and experimental setups. I independently developed mechanical components, assemblies, and complete products from the prototype stage through to series production readiness. In addition, I was responsible for preparing bills of materials, instructions, and other product-related documentation. My role also involved assembling prototypes, conducting tests and experiments, and ensuring comprehensive documentation of all development activities. I managed and maintained the 3D printer, coordinated closely with suppliers, manufacturers, and development partners, and supported product maintenance and production by handling inquiries and implementing change requests.
Design Engineer at Burckhardt Compression
November 1, 2017 - August 31, 2019
My responsibilities included creating functional manufacturing and assembly drawings as well as recording change notifications and implementing drawing revisions. I was involved in the maintenance of existing valve products in close collaboration with other team members and contributed to the further development of the product portfolio. In addition, I handled the creation and management of new master data and classification data for valve components. I also carried out the acquisition of point cloud models using a 3D scanner (Zeiss Comet L3D 5M).
