A fully remote role, ideally location-independent, where I can use my design, 3D and technical skills, plus my Italian, English and French. Open to industrial design, 3D/surface modeling and CMF, but also AI training, project coordination or technical support. I value flexibility, a collaborative team and room to grow. Employee or contractor.

What I'm looking for
I’m an Industrial and Transportation Designer with 4+ years of experience in aviation and automotive, and a multidisciplinary background that bridges design, engineering and materials science.
From 2022 to 2026 I worked at Leonardo Helicopters as an Industrial Designer for cabin interiors. I designed interiors for EMS, VIP, offshore, utility, passenger transport and military helicopters, taking each project from concept sketches to production-ready Class A/B surfaces in Alias. I produced photorealistic VRED renderings for design reviews, ran ergonomic studies, defined CMF solutions, and coordinated directly with suppliers on feasibility, prototyping and production. I worked every day across engineering, marketing, sales and clients, balancing design intent with certification and regulatory requirements.
Before that, I worked at Stellantis in Paris on an innovation project integrating bioluminescent lighting into vehicle interiors, which contributed to a functional prototype and a patent. I also did reverse engineering and 3D reconstruction in CATIA V5 at École Centrale de Lyon, and product development at BTS Design Innovation in Milan.
I hold a Bachelor’s in Product Design and a Master’s in Design & Engineering from Politecnico di Milano, plus a double-degree Master’s in Chemistry & Materials Science from École Centrale de Lyon.
Skills: Autodesk Alias, VRED, CATIA V5, SolidWorks, KeyShot, Adobe Suite; surface modeling, concept design, CMF, material selection, rapid prototyping, supplier coordination.
Languages: Italian (native), English (C1), French (C1).
What I’m looking for: fully remote work, ideally location-independent. I’m most interested in industrial design, 3D/surface modeling, visualization and CMF roles. I’m also open to roles where my technical background and three languages add value: AI training and data annotation (3D/CAD or language), product or project coordination, technical customer success, supplier/sourcing coordination, and localization, presentation design. I’m happy to work as an employee or a contractor, across time zones.
