After my first engineering internship at BA Healthcare and its great deal of learning, I decided to come back to the group for my end of studies internship. It is at B2A Technology, the industrial branch of the group that I pursued a 6 months' internship, followed by a 4 months' contract, a versatile position on the robotics innovation office.
As I was finishing my engineering cycle with a Master of Science in Innovation and Entrepreneurship, this internship comprehended a technical, a commercial and a management aspect. Therefore, it has been particularly rich in discoveries, responsibilities and encounters. It took me abroad several times and I had this opportunity to work with teams from all Europe.
