About Jonathan Rincón

A level-7 master's degree from Sorbonne Université, in the Data Supply Chain track taken as a dual degree with ISTELI and under mandatory work-study for 24 months. The TLTE core curriculum brings together five disciplines around the same subject, transport and logistics: geography and planning, transport economics and law, management, environment and public policy. The school has been training in this field for eighty years and teaches with researchers and practising professionals.

The Data Supply track adds the layer a production engineer lacks: data project management, supply chain information systems, logistics process modelling, AI applied to the supply chain, ecological transitions and strategy with continuous improvement. It brings the macroscopic reading of the physical flow and its information flow outside the factory, at the scale of the network, the logistics corridor and the public policy that shapes it. Two study trips and 120 ECTS credits over four semesters.

A level-7 professional qualification registered with France Compétences under code RNCP 36218, taken under work-study and as a dual degree with the Sorbonne Université TLTE master's. The programme is organised into four skill blocks covering the full cycle of a logistics chain: implementing solutions (specifications, customer demand, intralogistics, information systems), building strategy (analysis, flow mapping, stock management, international transport and customs), steering and improving performance (audit, diagnosis, dashboards, KPIs, Lean with Green Belt level) and managing the logistics function (project management, management control, change management).

It is rounded out by cross-disciplinary subjects, labour law, risk management, English and IT, and a teaching approach built on real professional situations, with half the time spent in the company. For my work at Saint-Gobain it is the framework that gives order to what I do day to day: every module on modelling, flow auditing or indicators has a real case in the European scope to test it against.

An international production engineering programme taken on the Cluny campus under the UNET–Arts et Métiers agreement, with the third-year PROTeUS expertise track, «Usine du Futur 4.0 : du Prototyp@ge 3D à l'UGV». It runs 350 hours and 61 credits: a 150-hour expertise unit on CNC machine tools and five-axis machining, complex curves and surfaces, the CAD-CAM digital chain with post-processors and simulation, hard-to-machine materials (titanium, superalloys), cutting-force modelling and surface integrity with temperature measurement and thermomechanical simulation.

On top of that come ninety hours of management, supply chain and responsible engineering, an expertise project, conferences and industrial visits, and a company placement of at least 33 weeks. The campus's Uppercut technology platform provides the manufacturing and testing resources. It is the programme that gave me the language of the machining shop floor and of product-process industrialisation, and with it the final-year project on residual stresses defended in Cluny.

Intensive computer engineering training taken alongside industrial engineering, structured around four areas: full stack development, artificial intelligence and machine learning, large-scale data processing and cybersecurity. It covers the full cycle, from data modeling and API design to deployment and service protection.

It's the training that underpins the software side of my industrial work: the interfaces, integration services and data processing I develop on the plant floor draw on this background, as does the security approach I apply to OT architectures.

Industrial engineering degree earned under the international dual-degree agreement between UNET and Arts et Métiers ENSAM. The curriculum covers production management, operations research, quality, maintenance, industrial safety and project management, with a significant amount of practical work in regional industry.

I also took two electives focused on business development: Entrepreneurship Training, passed with 9/9, and Export Management and International Business, which underpins my later work on agri-food export plans.

Science-track high school diploma completed within the school's Excellence Program, with extra emphasis on mathematics, physics and chemistry. I graduated first in a class of ninety.

The final project was building a MIDI-controlled dual-resonance solid-state Tesla coil (DRSSTC) — one able to play music through its electric arc. It was the first project where I had to bring together power electronics, control and programming in a single system, and it explains fairly well the path that came after.
