Profile

       Mechanical & Thermal Engineer

I have 6.5 years of experience as a Thermal / Mechanical engineer in thedevelopment of satellite payloads dedicated to Science or Earth observation.

I have organisational and reporting abilities in the frame of the development of units’ thermo-mechanical architectures. I am also able to manage a technical team.

Thermal / Mechanical engineer :

•   I am responsible for the thermo-mechanical development of various space instruments:

⇒  MTG LASER for THALES ALENIA SPACE – IRS interferometer – METEOSAT 3^rd Generation Mission, ESA,

⇒  Scrambler for ASTRIUM Germany – Sentinel 4 – METEOSAT 3^rd Generation Mission, ESA,

⇒  Star trackers,

⇒  Responses to calls for tender for space instruments,

•   I have performed preliminary thermo-mechanical computations in order to define the global thermo-mechanical architectures of space equipment,

•   I have written down requirements for thermal and mechanical models and tests,

•   I take on project activities :

⇒  Technical team management (mechanical designers, thermal & mechanical engineers) – 6 persons. Planning, Financial budgets management.

♦         CNRS – LATMOS Laboratory – St Quentin en Yvelines (FRANCE)– http://www.latmos.ipsl.fr

Thermal Engineeron the PHEBUS spectrometer – BepiColombo ESA mission – Study of the planet Mercury:

•   Thermal Engineering: I was responsible for the thermal control of PHEBUS:

⇒  I performed geometrical & mathematical thermal models of PHEBUS & sub-systems with ESARAD / ESATAN : detailed models, reduced models,

⇒  I participated to the instrument integration in clean room: MLI handling, heaters bonding…

⇒  I organised and realised tests campaigns of PHEBUS and sub-systems: tests setup, thermal balances, thermal vacuums, solar simulator (in Japan, at the JAXA facility),

⇒  I correlated thermal models according to tests results,

⇒  I wrote down all the associated reports intended for ESA.

•   Mechanical Engineering:

⇒  I did the design of mechanical parts (CATIA V5), and participated to mechanical parts integration. I was also involved in mechanical test campaigns (vibrations, shocks),

•   Optical Engineering:

⇒  I designed optical components (mirror) and optical benches dedicated to the PHEBUS instrument calibrations,

   •   International relationships: ESA(The Netherlands), RUAG (Austria), Padova University (Italia), Tokyo University & JAXA (Japan), IKI (Russia).
