Automotive Designer
I'm an industrial designer with a transportation speciality. Since February 2010 I've finished a 2 years contract at Faurecia in Germany, French automotive supplier. I've got ~ 3 years experience in cockpit design (transversal versatile position). And since this date I changed to go within SEGULA Technologies, based in Trappes (Paris area) ; This company offers some development supports for car-makers, and I start with PSA, at Sochaux (Citroen B78x program).
