Meet… Jorge Oriol

“Each project is a new challenge, with its own problems and particularities to be solved. That’s why you have to be very creative to find the optimal solution for each one of them.”

I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering and a master’s degree in Industrial Engineering with a specialization in Mechanical Engineering, so I am an enthusiast of complex mechanical systems. I love to explore the limits of the interaction between components and mechanical assemblies. I participated in the characterization, assembly and control of complex image sensors in both astronomy and medicine, as well as in academia and industry. Currently, I am involved in almost all project phases. From the scope of supply to the manufacturing of the final product. I participate in the development of the system from concept to final design; also in the development of product documentation, purchasing of components, manufacturing and assembly. What has been your professional development at ASE Optics? I started my professional career at ASE Optics in 2018 as a junior engineer helping in the development of the mechanical design of the different projects the company was involved in using CAD tools. Four years later, I have been taking on more responsibilities to cover the entire mechanical engineering department, while collaborating in other areas. How do you envision your future at ASE Optics? I would like to see ASE Optics continue to grow into an international benchmark company in the optical engineering sector. On a personal level, I would love to continue managing projects, not only from a Mechanical Engineering perspective, but also involving all management areas of the company. What led you to apply for your internship at ASE Optics and accept the job? The most important thing was the fact that I could participate in all phases of project realization, from sketching to manufacturing. At the same time, I had the opportunity to join an interdisciplinary team with a lot of experience with whom I learn every day. What do you value most about working at ASE Optics? The potential of people and of the company itself. And what has been one of the biggest challenges you have faced? Each project is a new challenge with its own problems and particularities to be solved. Therefore, you have to be very creative to find the optimal solution for each of them. Describe ASE Optics in one sentence. To infinity and beyond.
