Raffaele Tavolieri

I am an Industrial Project Engineer with extensive experience in aerospace manufacturing and cryogenic propulsion systems.

Currently working on the M10 cryogenic engine program, I lead industrialisation activities, supplier coordination, manufacturing readiness reviews, and cross-functional integration between engineering, quality, and production teams.

My expertise includes

• End-to-end industrialisation of complex mechanical systems
• Manufacturing BOM management and configuration control
• Supplier development and technical follow-up
• Process optimisation and risk mitigation
• Quality-driven production strategy

I combine hands-on mechanical design capability (SolidWorks certified) with strategic industrial vision, bridging engineering intent with manufacturing execution.

I am open to opportunities in the Middle East within Aerospace, Defense, Advanced Manufacturing, and High-Tech industries.
