Marc was Dev’s teacher
I am writing as an Associate Professor at the École Nationale Supérieure des Arts et Métiers (ENSAM), where I teach second-year courses on the modeling of multiphysics systems using Bond Graphs. In addition to my teaching responsibilities, I supervise group projects designed to challenge students with contemporary multidisciplinary problems and I’m responsible for the third year “Mechatronics” specialization semester.
Dev KUMAR was a student in my second-year class, where he demonstrated curiosity, engagement, and rigor in mastering the modeling of multiphysics systems. His performance was consistently outstanding, and continued his academic journey within the "Mechatronics" specialization, which I oversee. Mr. KUMAR’s enthusiasm and motivation aligned perfectly with the goals of this program, and he excelled during that specalization semester. As an example, he studied how reinforcement learning could be applied in the context of robotics by driving an UR7 cobot. This kind of multidisciplinary skills, at the borders of mechanics, computer science and AI, makes Dev's profile quite unique.
Mr. KUMAR is now seeking to complete his academic training through an international mobility opportunity. His professional aspirations are deeply rooted in his passion for robotics and his commitment to making this field accessible to a broader audience. I thus strongly recommend Dev KUMAR for admission for a VIE whithin your company. His intellectual curiosity, technical skills, and dedication make him an ideal candidate for this program. I am confident he will contribute meaningfully to your business and benefit greatly from this experience.

Olivier worked with Dev on the same team
I had the pleasure of working with Dev during his internship with our team. Although I wasn’t his internship supervisor, we collaborated regularly on the functional and technical aspects of several projects.
I particularly appreciated his quick wit, curiosity, and ability to question his initial intuitions in order to make rapid progress. Passionate about robotics, he demonstrates a genuine desire to learn and understand the challenges he faces.
During his internship as a Product Owner, we discussed at length the importance of clearly defining and scoping a requirement before beginning development. He quickly understood that a successful project isn’t about moving forward as quickly as possible, but about taking the time to clarify objectives, expectations, and success criteria before getting started. This ability to incorporate feedback and adapt his approach to work is, in my opinion, a valuable quality.
I am confident that Dev will put these qualities to good use in his future projects, and I wish him every success as he continues on his career path.

Who I Am
// DEV KUMAR · INCOMING SLB V.I.E.
Incoming V.I.E. Ontology Engineer · Data & AI Joining SLB in the United States Starting January 2027 Business France international assignment
I am a Robotics, Mechatronics and AI Engineer, graduated from Arts et Métiers ParisTech in 2026. My work connects mechanical engineering, embedded systems, control, computer vision, deep learning and data analysis through industrial and research projects in France and Switzerland.
I completed a ML Engineer & Data Analyst internship at Georg Fischer Machining Solutions in Geneva, now operating as United Machining Solutions, and completed my end-of-study internship at Air Liquide Paris as Product Owner for AI products from September 2025 to February 2026.
Graduated in July 2026. In January 2027, I will join SLB in the United States as a V.I.E. Ontology Engineer within Data & AI. This next chapter extends my background in robotics, machine learning and industrial data toward semantic data modelling, ontology engineering, knowledge graphs and connected industrial knowledge.
Beyond engineering, my background includes military service with the Marine Nationale, startup creation, regional-level Muay Thaï competition and professional experience across several sectors. These experiences shaped my discipline, resilience, adaptability and ability to deliver under pressure.
// MY VISION: Intelligence Beyond Human Reach
The universe is too vast and too hostile for human presence to remain the only path forward. The real challenge is not just to travel farther, but to send intelligence where humans cannot operate directly.
I want to build autonomous machines capable of perceiving, deciding and acting for months or years in extreme environments: deep space, other planets, radioactive zones or remote industrial systems.
My obsession is to fuse control theory, state estimation, robotics and learning algorithms until intelligence becomes physical: a system that can move, adapt, recover and act under real constraints.
The future of exploration belongs to autonomous systems that extend human reach beyond direct presence. That is the frontier I want to push.
International academic pathway to M.Eng · 300 ECTS
