Mario Juarez

Graduate of Politecnico di Torino with a Master's in Mechatronics Engineering. Proven expertise in mechatronics design through hands-on projects, research, and internships across the entire product development cycle—from research and design to testing. Recently completed a position as a Control Systems Engineer at General Motors/Dumarey.

I am now seeking to transition into the biomedical industry in California, where I can apply my skills to innovative projects that deliver meaningful, real-world healthcare solutions.
