ADAS Pre-Development Senior Engineer, with a robust experience of working in the Automotive industry. Skilled in Analytical Skills, Data Analytics, Vehicle networks and communication, and Research and Development (R&D). Strong engineering professional with a master of Automotive Engineering from the Institute of Automotive and Transport Engineering (ISAT, Nevers/France)
• Advanced engineering on next generation ADAS (Advanced Driving Assistance System): develop system specification, implement & simulate algorithm (sensor fusion, HMI or actuator control), concept test using fast prototyping tools on bench and on vehicle, design functional safety concept for the system, benchmark of competition and monitoring of latest technologies, participation to conferences. • Technical project management: develop & follow-up project schedule, maintain regular communication with project partner (supplier, research/consulting companies), lead/support quality activities, project reporting & demonstration to top management. • Vehicle performance evaluation support of newly launched ADAS systems: responsible for vehicle preparation, supplier alignment, definition of vehicle testing campaign on closed environment and on road, data analysis & reporting to management/supplier. • Specialized in Automated & Connected Parking systems (AP = Automated Parking, ICS = Intelligent Clearance Sonar, RCP = Remote Control Parking, CbP = Community-based Parking, AVP = Automated Valet Parking) & Side Radar systems (BSM = Blind Spot Monitoring, RCTA = Rear Cross Traffic Alert/Brake, SEA = Safe Exit Assist)
• Vehicle performance evaluation support: Intelligent Clearance Sonar (ICS) = braking system based on ultrasonics sensor, responsible for vehicle preparation (e.g. gateway programming), supplier alignment, vehicle testing campaign on closed environment & on road, data analysis & reporting to customer/supplier. • Design support: Road Side Assist (RSA) = front camera-based function detecting traffic signs, redaction of fusion logic specification with Map data (similar to Adasis v2 protocol), supplier discussion/review, model-based design (Simulink) of fusion logic to early determine logic issues (MIL = Model in the Loop), prototyping vehicle preparation to confirm map data & fusion logic (using fast prototyping unit).
Internship subject: V2X communication pre-development support (road side unit responsibility) • Working on a customer project toward the European funding program “Horizon 2020”: Proof of Concept to show how V2V (Vehicle to Vehicle) and V2X (Vehicle to Infrastructure) communication can improve the comfort & safety of the European commuter. • Development of a RSU (Road Side Unit) for a Proof of Concept: sending DENM (Decentralized Environmental Notification Message) via DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communication), development in C language on Raspberry Pi, RSU hardware preparation and confirmation of DSRC unit signal strength (spatial measurement). • Development of Lua scripts for OOBD (Open On Board Diagnostics) open source platform: Using an DLC3 OBD dongle, the customer is able to retrieve and display CAN results on a GUI (Graphical Interface, e.g. smartphone app): implementation of SAE J1979 OBD-II standard to read Services 01-10 data. Validation on bench using Vector CANoe software and VN1640 hardware, then confirmation on vehicle.
Internship subject: Development of evaluation tool to access dynamic behavior of 'longer and heavier vehicle combination' • Working on EMS Project (European Modular System), which aims to allow LHV (Long and Heavy Vehicle) on road: from max. length 18.75m / max. weight 50t to max. length 25.25m / max. weight 60t. • Development of evaluation tool to study dynamic behavior of longer and heavier vehicle combination: implementation of simulation models (SimMechanics) and motion control model (Simulink). • Development of a GUI (Graphical User Interface) in Matlab, in order to test various vehicle combinations against testing procedures defined by Australian standards (Performance Based Standards Scheme) • Validation of simulation results using LHV testing data.
