When are you available?
I am available for a 6-month internship from September 2026, in Paris or in an English-speaking country (UK, USA, Australia, Canada…).
Your profile in one sentence?
Engineering student at Arts et Métiers, former Navy officer, B2B sales experience: I combine technical rigour, commercial culture and operational leadership.
What is your educational background?
I am in my 3rd and final year at Arts et Métiers ParisTech (ENSAM), majoring in mechanical and industrial sciences. Trained at the École Navale (French Naval Academy) before that.
Your English level?
Fluent English, C1 level. TOEIC: 920 / 990. I worked in English in international operational environments during my training as a naval officer.
Do you have B2B sales experience?
Yes: selling a voice AI to Paris restaurant owners at Workforce AI (field prospecting, full sales cycle) and prospecting scale-ups and major HR accounts at Brainmood. My military background reinforces hitting targets under pressure.
Any research experience?
Yes: research internship at IPGP (Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris) on Lesser Antilles seismology, detection of repeating earthquakes via template-matching on 20 years of data. Co-author of a scientific publication from this work.
What truly sets you apart?
Three rare things combined: a generalist engineering degree from ENSAM (a French Grande École), officer experience (command, crisis management, endurance) and a proven sales track record in the field. Most candidates have only one of these three.
How to contact you?
By email: marius.yvard@ensam.eu, or via LinkedIn. I reply within 24 hours.
What framework for the internship (agreement, compensation)?
6-month internship under an Arts et Métiers ParisTech internship agreement. Compensation follows the French legal minimum, exempt from employer contributions up to the regulatory ceiling; above that, your own pay scale applies. The agreement also covers an internship abroad.
Can you work outside France?
Yes. French citizen, so no formalities within the European Union. For the UK, the US, Canada or Australia, dedicated internship visas exist (J-1 in the US for instance) and ENSAM supports the process. Immediately mobile.
