Mechanical Project Manager at SIAME
  • Tunisia - Nabeul
  • My current job since April 2022

▪ Lead and support the mechanical development team on the various line accessory projects: connectors, suspension accessories and anchoring accessories.
▪ Innovate a new version of connectors to accommodate a new section of electrical line: design on SolidWorks 2018, prototyping, costing, pre-series, mass production.
▪ Optimization of the PSA148 electric suspension clamp in terms of dimensions: study of customer specifications and requirements of the IEC61284 standard, finite element simulation on Abaqus, re-design, manufacturing (mold, gravity casting).
▪ Design new products such as inspection tools to improve the reception inspection process in compliance with IEC61284, IEC60372 and IEC60120 standards.
▪ Contribute in type and acceptance tests: traction test, torque, dielectric, climatic aging in order to interpret the behavior of the product and its aptitude for optimization or development.
