Background

About Zane Saboune

About MeI am a third-year Mechatronics Engineering student at The University of Sydney with a passion for solving problems at the intersection of mechanical systems, electronics, and data-driven technology. With strong foundations in CAD design (SolidWorks), programming (Python, C, MATLAB, Verilog, SQL), and electrical systems, I thrive in environments that demand both analytical rigour and practical, hands-on application.I gained industry experience as an Automotive Data Engineering Intern at PARts DB Australia, where I work across both technical and commercial streams — from SQL data analysis, QA/UAT, and software scoping to CRM workflows, sales pipeline development, and eDM campaigns. This unique blend of skills has given me the ability to bridge the gap between engineers, product teams, and business stakeholders, always with an outcome-focused mindset.Beyond industry, I served as Vice-President of the Sydney University Mechatronics Organisation (SUMO), leading initiatives and events for over 750 members. This role has sharpened my leadership, stakeholder engagement, and project coordination skills, while reinforcing my belief in the value of collaboration and culture in engineering teams.My passion for engineering extends well beyond the classroom — I’ve spent years modifying and maintaining my own car, including installing coilovers and troubleshooting complex mechanical and electronic systems. This hands-on experience fuels my curiosity for how things work, pushes me to constantly learn, and motivates me to pursue opportunities where I can contribute to innovation in energy, infrastructure, automotive, and aerospace sectors. What drives me?Tackling real-world challenges in energy, transport, and digital systems.Bringing together technical and commercial perspectives to deliver measurable results.Growing into an engineer who can contribute to a smarter, more sustainable future.
