Helping hardware teams transition from working prototypes to scalable manufacturing
I help founders and CTOs who need senior engineering support without hiring full-time. My focus is on speed, cost awareness, and reducing manufacturing risk before scale.
Pre-seed to Series B. Transitioning from functional prototypes to DFM-ready designs.
High-reliability systems requiring validation, precision, and manufacturing discipline.
Modernizing products or resolving manufacturing and quality challenges.
Support across the full hardware lifecycle — from early concept to scalable production.
Representative projects showing typical industrialization challenges — visuals are for illustration purposes.
Led the industrialization of a high-performance autonomous platform, preparing the system for scalable manufacturing. Focus areas included mechanical robustness, full in-house production, and supplier coordination across Asia to ensure repeatable production quality.
Oversaw early-series manufacturing for a Class II wearable, including material selection and validation builds. Ensured compliance with applicable medical standards while de-risking the transition from prototype to pilot production.
Achieved a 37% per-unit manufacturing cost reduction through targeted DFM improvements and tooling strategy optimization. Improved injection molding parameters and implemented a multi-cavity approach to support high-volume production.
Engineered complex assemblies combining CNC-machined and sheet-metal components. Resolved tolerance stack-ups, improved assembly flow, and increased serviceability to prepare the system for factory deployment.
Senior Mechanical & Industrial Engineer
Based in Switzerland, I work with teams across Europe and Asia on the development and industrialization of high-tech hardware products.
My background spans aerospace, medical devices, robotics, automotive, and consumer sports equipment. I specialize in bridging the gap between engineering design and real-world manufacturing, ensuring products are robust, manufacturable, and ready to scale.
My expertise covers plastic injection molding, CNC machining, tooling, DFM/DFA, supplier selection, and cost engineering — with a strong focus on reducing manufacturing risk before production commitments are made. I bring deep expertise in DFM for plastic injection molding, helping teams optimize part geometry to avoid costly tooling modifications.
Throughout my career, I’ve led engineering teams, coordinated closely with external manufacturers in Asian ecosystems, and supported multiple hardware startups from early concept through to series production.
I’m typically brought in when decisions around cost, tooling, and suppliers start to define whether a product can realistically scale.
