What I'm looking for

I seek hands-on engineering roles focused on 3D CAD design, system optimisation and production/site support in collaborative, growth-oriented companies.

I am a mechanical engineer with extensive hands-on experience in 2D/3D CAD modelling, system planning, and production/site support across multiple industries including glass, paper, intralogistics, food, chemicals and energy.

I have delivered new component and assembly designs, optimised existing systems, and supported construction and production sites while working as a mechanical and layout engineer for companies such as Metzen, EME, VOITH and Vanderlande.

My background includes SAP/R3 ERP part list and material master editing, preparation and tracking of quotations, and acting as an interface between customers and European suppliers in technical sales roles.

I am fluent in Portuguese, German, English, Spanish and Dutch, proficient with Autodesk Inventor, AutoCAD Mechanical, SolidWorks, Siemens NX, CATIA, FEM tools and various engineering software, and I pursue ongoing CAD and FEM training to deepen my technical skills.
