About

๐Ÿš—โšก Transforming the automotive industry in the era of Software Defined Vehicles The automotive industry is undergoing a fundamental shift: from hardware-driven engineering to a model defined by software, system architecture, and energy management. My work sits at the intersection of these transformations. โš™๏ธ Strong technical foundation in complex automotive systems I have built my experience working on critical automotive architectures, with a focus on: - vehicle electrical & electronic architecture - powertrain systems and embedded software - functional safety (ISO 26262, up to ASIL D) - multi-core systems and complex integration These experiences led me to a key insight: ๐Ÿ‘‰ vehicle performance is no longer driven by individual components, but by the overall system architecture. ๐Ÿง  From engineering to system-level thinking Over time, I have expanded my focus from component-level design to system-level architecture: - integration of powertrain, software, and safety - transition toward centralized and zonal architectures - evolution toward Software Defined Vehicles (SDV) Today, vehicles are becoming fully integrated computing systems โ€” connected, upgradable, and software-driven. ๐Ÿš€ A strategic vision for the next generation of automotive platforms Beyond engineering execution, I am actively developing a broader vision of the industry transformation: - software-defined vehicle platforms (SDV) - embedded AI and intelligent vehicle systems - Energy OS (battery, charging, grid interaction) - safety as a competitive advantage new business models (services, subscriptions, data-driven value) ๐Ÿ‘‰ These challenges go beyond individual companies โ€” they require coordination at industry and ecosystem level. ๐Ÿ‡ซ๐Ÿ‡ท A strategic opportunity for France and Europe France and Europe have unique strengths: - global automotive OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers - strong semiconductor ecosystem - deep expertise in safety and system engineering The challenge today is clear: ๐Ÿ‘‰ align, accelerate, and structure this transformation to regain industrial leadership and technological sovereignty. ๐Ÿ’ก What I do today I contribute to complex, high-value engineering programs, while developing a strategic perspective on: - vehicle architecture evolution - transition toward SDV - industrial transformation of the automotive sector ๐Ÿค Letโ€™s connect I am open to discussions around: - SDV architecture and vehicle platforms - functional safety and critical systems - industrial strategy and transformation
