Giuseppe Francesco Cardone

Recently graduated Mechatronics Engineer driven by a strong curiosity for technology and control. My academic background spans biomedical devices, three-phase machine control, analog electronics, and mechanical systems. During my experience as a Systems Engineer in the aerospace and defence sector, I have worked on the development of safety-critical systems, translating customer specifications into system requirements and collaborating with multidisciplinary software and hardware teams throughout the development process. Extensive academic projects, laboratory activities, and professional experience have strengthened my technical problem-solving skills while reinforcing the importance of responsibility, communication, and effective collaboration in cross-functional engineering environments.
