Portrait of Max Bertran Canicio.

Background

I am Max Bertran Canicio, a final-year (fourth-year) undergraduate in Aerospace Systems Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), and I am eager to contribute my technical knowledge, problem-solving mindset and passion for engineering to an amazing team.

Through my studies, I have built a solid foundation in the fundamentals of engineering: physics, mathematics and, more importantly, how to face challenges in order to find effective solutions. Over these years of the degree I have learned, worked with and explored SolidWorks, Python, MATLAB and C#, and gained a strong knowledge of fluid mechanics, aerodynamics, electronics, guidance and control, and unmanned aerial vehicles.

Beyond academics, I actively seek opportunities to apply engineering in real-world contexts. It started with my high-school research project on acoustic levitation, continued with an engineering internship at La Farga YourCopperSolutions, where I built Excel tools, wrote technical procedures and supported data analysis, and goes on today with projects of my own and in my everyday life. These experiences taught me how to approach complex technical problems, be self-sufficient, work effectively within diverse teams and communicate ideas clearly, something I know is essential.

On a personal level, I am someone who is really keen on learning and improving my skills. I am structured and comfortable working independently, but I also value working in a team environment where learning from others is key. What excites me most about an internship is the chance to work at the intersection of engineering and technological innovation, with real-world experience that brings me closer to my professional goals.

What drives me

The future of this generation is a technological world where resilience is key to not falling behind. I believe the link between us and that future is engineering, and this is what excites me and shapes my ambitions. Taking a physical problem, modelling it, checking the model against reality and turning it into something real that other people can use is what truly motivates me.

What I am looking for

Truth is, as a Spanish student hungry to grow professionally but also as a person, I couldn't stay in my comfort zone. I am looking for an engineering internship in the aerospace sector where I can work on real systems with a great team of experienced engineers, learn a lot, bring value to the team from the first weeks, and prove my enthusiasm and ambition to achieve great things. I am motivated by high-performing environments that demand precision, creativity and resilience, and I am used to international environments.

How I use AI tools

In recent years, AI has become one of the most useful tools in the world, and ignoring it would be absurd. I aim for a smart, efficient and responsible use of a technology that is now within everyone's reach. I decide the engineering approach, the design, the physics, the results and the little details, while AI is the brute force, as it helps me write code and organise the steps of each project.
