Silvia Bertini

Digital Manufacturing Engineer, Assembly and Test, Berlin March 2019 - present Capability Acquisition Manufacturing Engineer, Assembly and Test, Derby, October 2018 - February 2019 New Product Introduction Manufacturing Engineer, Compressor Components, Derby, May - September 2018 Civil Nuclear Research and Technology, Small Modular Reactor Programme, Derby, January - May 2018 Continuous Improvement Manufacturing Engineer, Engine Overhaul Services, Derby, September 2017 - January 2018

Developed efficient and sustainable mechanical designs for HVAC systems, from initial concept to AutoCAD and Revit modeling. Worked together with contractors, architects and professionals from different trades to achieve a fine building system design. Selected mechanical equipment so to promote energy efficiency and minimize environmental impact, while preserving architectural aesthetic.

Computational fluid dynamics study (Finite Element Analysis) to improve the design of a dual-layer stent, currently used as flow diversion device for brain aneurysms treatment.

Assisted construction project managers with building system upgrades (mechanical, electrical, plumbing, HVAC, fire alarm). Performed field inspections, verified projects are compliant with current city and state standards. Prepared documents for contractors, research and collect equipment data and produce reports.

Graded homework assignments and exams for Mechanical Engineering Undergraduate Fluid Mechanics course.

Provided technical support in transferring books and resources from old to new cataloguing system. Assisted users at the reception with library resources and services. Organized library material, continuously checked and updated catalogue.
