What I'm looking for

I am seeking an engineering internship in France focused on industrial automation or robotics, where I can apply PLC/SCADA, embedded IoT, and data analytics to drive efficiency and predictive maintenance.

I am an engineering student focused on industrial automation, robotics, and data analytics, currently pursuing a Master of Engineering in Industry & Robotics at ESILV in Paris. I deliver measurable process impact, having led PLC/SCADA deployments and analytics that reduced water use by 30% and material waste by 22% at Vedanta Ltd, recognised with 2× SBU CEO Award.

My hands-on experience spans Siemens S7 PLCs, ladder logic, HMI, predictive maintenance, embedded systems (ESP32-S3), and full-data pipelines using Python/pandas, SQL and visualization tools like Tableau and Power BI. I have built predictive OEE models, IoT edge-to-cloud solutions, and robotic trajectory-planning systems, and I contributed to UAV propulsion thermal design validated with ANSYS CFD.

I seek an engineering internship in France where I can apply automation and robotics expertise alongside data analytics to drive operational efficiency, scale predictive maintenance, and build robust, production-ready systems.
