Sofien Bouslama (CSWE)

Who they are

Sofien Bouslama is a Final Year Project Intern at LEONI — built THANATOS, a combat robot, as President of the Polyrobots Club at École Polytechnique de Sousse, and earned a national 'Student Entrepreneur' title for his Smart Bin project.

Person

Sofien studied Electromechanics at ISSAT Sousse before moving into an Engineering degree at École Polytechnique de Sousse — a deliberate step up from applied technology into full engineering formation. His internship record is unusually broad for a student: automotive maintenance at Bosch Car Service Tunisie, workflow and workspace optimization at VEGE, piping design at EMC Ingénierie & Consulting, and metal fabrication at Sartex Group — four different industrial contexts before his current final-year placement at LEONI, which he started in February 2026. Outside the employed track, he built Smart Bin, an entrepreneurial project that earned him national recognition as a 'Student Entrepreneur', and co-developed THANATOS, a combat robot, with the Polyrobots Club — a club he also leads as President. The through-line is hands-on breadth: he keeps crossing between mechanical, electrical, and systems work rather than settling into one discipline. He posts actively on LinkedIn about SolidWorks certifications, robotics projects, and engineering career milestones — the kind of public documentation that reads as someone building a professional identity deliberately.

How they likely show up

  • Four distinct internships across automotive, textile, engineering consulting, and wire-harness manufacturing → comfortable switching industrial context quickly; unlikely to be precious about domain boundaries.
  • President of the Polyrobots Club → takes on organizational accountability alongside technical work, not just a participant.
  • Built THANATOS (combat robot) and Smart Bin (national entrepreneurial recognition) as side projects during coursework → high agency; runs parallel tracks rather than waiting for formal permission to build.
  • Short-stint tenure pattern across all roles → currently in accumulation mode, collecting industrial exposure rather than depth in one place.
  • Active LinkedIn poster on certifications and project milestones → treats visibility as part of the work, not an afterthought.
  • SolidWorks certifications listed as a content theme → invests in verifiable credentials, not just experience claims.

Conversation tips

  • → Ask specifically about THANATOS or the Polyrobots Club — he's clearly proud of it and it shows the applied, competitive side of his engineering identity.
  • → Reference the breadth of his internships (piping, fabrication, automotive, wire-harness) — he's made deliberate choices to stay generalist, and he'll have a view on why.
  • → He responds to concrete technical specifics — SolidWorks, electromechanical systems, industrial contexts — not to vague 'engineering innovation' framing.
  • → The Smart Bin entrepreneurial recognition is a point of pride; asking what problem it solved will open more than asking about the title itself.

Toolbox

Openers

  • Open on THANATOS — he built a combat robot as President of the Polyrobots Club, which signals that his engineering interest runs well past coursework into competitive, physical systems.
  • Mention the Smart Bin project and the national 'Student Entrepreneur' recognition — it's an unusual distinction for an engineering student and shows he's thought about problems beyond the factory floor.
  • Reference the piping design internship at EMC Ingénierie & Consulting alongside the metal fabrication work at Sartex — the combination is atypical and suggests he's been deliberately assembling a cross-disciplinary industrial picture.

Discovery questions

  1. You've done internships across automotive maintenance, piping design, fabrication, and now wire-harness manufacturing at LEONI — was that breadth intentional, or did it happen opportunistically?
  2. What did building THANATOS teach you that classroom electromechanics didn't?
  3. The Smart Bin earned you a national Student Entrepreneur title — what was the core problem you were solving, and how far did the project go?

Avoid

Don't treat him as a generalist by default — he holds SolidWorks certifications and has specific mechanical design depth; skipping past the technical details to talk about 'career paths' will lose him early.
