Industrial automation environment

Senior Manufacturing Engineer and Technical Project Manager

I'm William Rizzo. I've recently joined a fast-growing and ambitious startup, where I lead the reorganization of manufacturing from supply chain through final assembly, driving new product development, efficiency and cost reduction. I work with mechanics, software, electronics and testing teams to turn innovative new products into repeatable and scalable mass production.

Global Manufacturing & Supply Chain

Driving process improvements and shop floor optimization so production stays stable and scalable while keeping a a global supply chain with partners and suppliers.

Cross-Functional Leadership

Leading teams with colleagues from different cultures across mechanics, software, electronics and field testing, aligning people and driving execution from concept to global deployment.

New Product Development & Cost Reduction

Driving product development and cost-reduction programs, drawing on a background in automation and robotics, so products move from fast prototyping to production smoothly.

Structured Execution in Complex Technical Environments

Based in Italy with international experience, I work where technical depth meets structured execution. My experience spans manufacturing operations, supplier coordination, cross-functional alignment, and production scaling. I document technical insights and evolving perspectives on manufacturing and automation through my writing.
