Montlhéry, Île-de-France, France
15 years in automotive engineering at Renault Group — from initial scoping to market launch — with one constant thread: raising the bar on vehicle performance and transforming how we get there. As Senior Technical Expert & Manager, I am responsible for all key vehicle attributes — driving their convergence with digital-first development methods — CAE, Digital Twin, simulation-driven approaches — to define and validate them at the highest level, earlier and faster in the cycle. Today, this mission takes shape through Alpine's next generation of 100% electric cars — where the challenge is building a product that sets the benchmark in every attribute that matters to the driver. Beyond technical delivery, I drive team transformation and capability building to meet new company challenges with innovation and systemic thinking.
Scopes: Aerodynamics Thermal & Cooling Performance / Consumption / Driveability NVH Handling & Ride Comfort Powertrain & Chassis Tuning Prototype Centers Overall Vehicle Attribute Synthesis & Master Driver Operational & Technical Lead — Digital Transformation: - Tools: Star-CCM+, CarRealTime, Altair C123 etc. - Methodologies to Increase Maturity & Coverage - Integration of New Tools: Driver-in-the-Loop / Simulators
Alpine’s next product generation - 100% electric cars - will leverage Groupe Renault’s latest innovations and will benefit from BWT Alpine F1 Team technology and expertise: aerodynamics, efficient energy management, safety systems and connectivity solutions derived from F1’s high-performance in data analysis and processing that will bring a significant competitive advantage to the Alpine products.
