About

Mechanical Engineer with over 15 years of experience in industrial product development, mechanical design, and advanced manufacturing processes. Proven track record in designing and implementing UVC and UV LED disinfection systems, industrial automation, and metal sheet fabrication. I’ve led high-impact engineering projects across hospital, pharmaceutical, and industrial sectors, collaborating with international partners such as Phoseon Technology (USA). My work has been deployed in leading hospitals (Albert Einstein), pharmaceutical companies (Novo Nordisk), and public facilities, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Skilled in CAD tools like SolidWorks and AutoCAD, I manage the full product development cycle—from concept to production—always with a focus on efficiency, manufacturability, and client satisfaction. 💼 Open to new international opportunities in engineering innovation and product development. ✈️ Based in Brazil | Available for relocation to the U.S. | Requires visa sponsorship 📩 Let’s connect: rsilveira@simaprojetos.com.br
