Khalil BELKACEM

Led aerospace industrialization and activity transfer in an AS9100/EN9100 environment, defining MRL-based deliverables and managing PRA/PFMEA mitigation, FAI/DVI/PPAP, and series handover. Drove 18% raw material savings (€220K/year) via mass nesting optimization and reduced panel cleaning lead time by shifting 20% of activities to CNC routing (€15K/year).

Industrialized aerospace products for manufacturability and process capability, leading DVI projects for production tooling and equipment. Improved QCDRS performance through process modifications, risk/feasibility and capability assessments, and prototype-to-initial-series support, including qualification of a semi-automatic welding machine and pneumatic crimping process aligned to NADCAP guidance

Designed prototypes and tooling from specifications using SolidWorks and led product and process FMEAs with cross-functional teams to mitigate manufacturing risks. Planned/validated production and inspection documentation, trained production teams, and supported rapid prototyping by managing a 3D printer fleet and CNC polystyrene cutting machines.

Monitored assembly activities across project phases, verifying quality tests and robustness of assemblies including arc welding, sheet metal geometry, gluing, crimping, and stud production. Coordinated cross-functional teams to meet body-in-white milestones and assessed factory feasibility, resource capability, and cost impacts of upcoming product modifications.

Earned a National Diploma of Engineer in Mechanical Engineering, building engineering fundamentals and applied mechanical skills.

Completed preparatory engineering studies in Nabeul to qualify for engineering school.

Completed the Technical Baccalaureate with a focus aligned to engineering preparation.
