What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a remote electrical engineering role across the EU, working in French or English. I want to apply my MV/HV protection, simulation, calculation, and technical-reporting experience, potentially through an EOR or umbrella company arrangement.

I've delivered electrical protection-setting studies for France's national railway power network through Extia Ingénierie, defining MV/HV breaker settings and redundancy schemes for safe, continuous train infrastructure operation. To realised those studies, I had to build simulation models for 1500V DC networks in PSIM and complex AC regions, including Paris, in MATLAB.

Earlier, at Enedis (french national LV and MV distribution network), I also hada to define MV breaker settings and redundancy schemes for safe, continuous train infrastructure operation. I independently developed a more efficient procedure for MV circuit-breaker settings using VBA and DPL, supported by technical, economic, and training documentation.

I'm now based in Italy and open to remote engineering opportunities in French or English.
