Available to hire
Hi, I’m Matteo Mellone. I’m a mechanical design and R&D leader with a global footprint, combining hands-on 3D design expertise with strategic project management. I have managed engineering teams across Europe and Asia, delivering complex 3D designs, startup machine projects, and production improvements. I’m a curious learner who loves mentoring teams and turning ideas into reliable, scalable solutions.
In my spare time I enjoy astronomy, astrophotography, physics, aeronautics, and robotics, and I stay curious about new technologies.
