Background

About Matteo Simonetti

I thrive on solving tough problems, leading cross-functional teams, and transforming groundbreaking ideas and innovative designs into scalable, real-world solutions. For over a decade, I've specialized in the full project lifecycle, taking complex engineering projects from initial concept to successful commissioning and scaling. My expertise bridges the gap between technical vision and physical production, with a proven track record of delivering mission-critical projects on time and on budget. Experience Highlights • Panthalassa: I’m currently focusing on the mechanical design and pilot manufacturing of the Node, a pioneering machine for direct wave energy harvesting. My work ensures the device's structural integrity and scalability in harsh marine environments, paving the way for a new era of clean energy. • Tesla: I spearheaded the successful mass production launch of the dry cathode electrode process at Gigafactory Austin, managing every phase from equipment installation to the commissioning and ramp-up. This directly contributed to a key company milestone in battery production. • Sofidel: I managed the end-to-end execution of process improvement projects and multi-disciplinary capital projects, including the successful commissioning and start-up of a landmark U.S. greenfield paper mill. My work drove process optimization and consistently enhanced mill safety, efficiency, and operational capacity. I am always open to connecting with fellow innovators and leaders in the fields of sustainable technology, advanced manufacturing, and engineering.
