After 4 years dual apprenticeship to become a certified electronic/avionic engineer, i joind EADS as prototype engineer.
While making my experience in the assembly of the Eurofighter i could learn about modern technology, join multiple aircraft system courses and strengthen myself in work organization.
After one year i took the opportunity to join the final assembly onsite and test team, which brought me to the UK, Spain and Italy for 4 years.
Assisting the station management and flight-line with daily coordination, logistical matters and team management I obviously enjoyed the complex gear mechanism that plays between different nations, people, working styles, cultural backgrounds and attitudes.
When I first started my courses in team building, team management and management culture but ever since, I know that one person in a team or a team in a organisation, can cause friction in the gear drive until it fails.
