About

Hello, I’m Julian, a Mechanical Engineer with over 9 years of experience in CAD design, research & development, and engineering solutions. I specialize in helping businesses turn complex ideas into reality through high-quality design and engineering services.

My Expertise Includes:
-3D Design & Modeling: Accurate and functional 3D models tailored to your project needs.
-Realistic Renderings: High-quality visuals that help you visualize your products before manufacturing.
-2D Technical Drawings: Precise, easy-to-understand technical drawings for manufacturing and production.
-Assembly Drawings with BOM (Bill of Materials): Detailed assembly instructions and material breakdowns for streamlined production.

What Sets Me Apart:
I hold a PhD in Tribology (the science of friction, wear, and surface contact mechanics), equipping me with advanced interdisciplinary knowledge that I integrate into my designs. This unique skillset allows me to approach engineering challenges with a broad systems perspective, ensuring that even the most complex requirements are met with precision, innovation, and care.

Extensive R&D Experience:
My career spans cutting-edge R&D work in environments ranging from Synchrotron facilities to nuclear fusion startups and aero-engine technologies. I am experienced in pushing the boundaries of design in challenging settings, such as:

-Ultra-high vacuum instrumentation
-Cryogenic temperatures to extreme heat (up to +1000ºC)
-Corrosive and high-pressure environments
-Moving components operating near the speed of sound

This hands-on experience with extreme engineering environments ensures I am well-versed in delivering reliable, high-performance solutions for even the most demanding projects.

Why Work With Me?
Whether you are developing a new product or refining an existing design, I bring a proven ability to balance speed, cost, and quality. My experience in R&D-focused industries makes me a perfect fit for projects that require innovation, accuracy, and a deep understanding of both mechanical systems and advanced materials.

I am committed to delivering CAD solutions that exceed expectations, combining creativity and technical knowledge to help you achieve your goals, all while maintaining the highest quality standards.

Experience

  • R&D Project Mechanical Engineer ALBA Synchrotron · Full-time Feb 2024 – Present 10 mos Barcelona, CT, Spain • Assisting scientists by developing their experiments.
    • Tackling multi-disciplinary projects in extreme environments for particle accelerator, e.g., Ultra-high
    Vacuum, or radiation.
  • R&D Experimenta Mechanical Engineer Renaissance Fusion · Full-time Sep 2022 – Feb 2024 1 yrs 5 mos Grenoble, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, France • Working in a deep tech startup in multi-disciplinary projects (given the size of the company).
    • The main objective is to conceive from concept to manufacture, commissioning and testing a machine
    for depositing a high temperature superconductor. Design involves considerations of extreme
    environments such as temperatures above 800ºC, vacuum, and high oxygen content.
    • Currently working mainly with SOLIDWORKS, but also assisting in polishing and rotor dynamics.
  • Consultant R&D Test Engineer Leonardo Tribology Center · Contact Sep 2017 – Feb 2022 4 yrs 5 mos Sheffield, England, United Kingdom • Solved challenges in-situ with limited resources in a fast-paced environment.
    • Catered experiments and analysis techniques based on each project’s needs.
    • Developed reports, evaluated and delivered results, and suggested development directions for
    materials/aero-engine operation conditions.

Education

  • University of Sheffield PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Tribology, N/a 2017 – 2022 • Designed, assembled and instrumented an experimental platform representative of a jet engine.
    • Investigated the multivariable system involving thermodynamics, material science, and contact
    mechanics and the severe environment thereof.
    • Developed the experimental method (metrics and test protocol) and executed statistically planned
    experiments (DOE) to understand the different drivers.
    • Identified the important process variables and engineered new materials that validated the statistical
    hypothesis, creating the learning for optimising the system.
    • Advised Rolls-Royce on the development directions for their jet engines (based on robust logic and
    statistics). This meant balancing industry/academia interests in a high industrial impact research team,
    impacting key stakeholders in monthly meetings where I streamlined knowledge and delivered it to an
    audience of different backgrounds.
