I'm a Robotics Service Engineer based in Reutlingen, Germany, currently at Neura Robotics GmbH — one of Europe's leading cognitive robotics companies.

With strong robotics knowledge spanning complex interventions like programming, joint repair and replacement, I have the capacity to troubleshoot automated systems using deep expertise in PLC, software, and electronic systems. My career traces a path from maintaining robotic production lines in Tunisia's automotive sector to commissioning eVTOL battery manufacturing systems, and now to servicing next-generation cognitive robots.

I hold a Higher Technical Diploma in Electronics, Automation & Industrial IT from CSFE-Den-Den, Tunisia, along with certifications from Beckhoff, Universal Robots, National Instruments, Microsoft, and specialized training in High Voltage, Lean Maintenance, and TPM.
