Dr Kafoutchoni’s reading

The key phrase here is « soon-to-be graduate »: the offer does not exclude candidates who have not yet received the degree, but it still requires a dossier that is already clear and complete. The real screening is about the ability to connect mechanics, scientific computing, and Python to an industrial thesis topic, not about generalist polish. So prepare three short proofs: a project note linking your work to the topic, two academic referees ready to be contacted, and a CV where technical results are visible before job titles. Then submit a complete file as soon as those pieces are aligned.
