Skilled general engineer with strong understanding of technical systems and efficient achievement of project goals.
Quick and easy adaptation to any kind of challenging and difficult situation, I am able to take pragmatic decisions and make compromises. A consistent track record of successfully accomplished projects proves this.
I am naturally open-minded and curious, which makes my communication with others very easy and comfortable.
Having as guiding principle efficiency, I am looking forward to sharing with others my knowledge in both an informal and serious atmosphere.
Expatriation to Seoul, South-Korea for the creation of a new Automotive subsidiary of Sensirion AG, and responsible for the deployment of Sensirion products
Duties: Lead of the refurbishment and renovation of the R&D, quality, and reliability laboratories, Technical know-how and company values transfer to the new subsidiary, Management and technical coaching and teaching, Lead of a large project for a Korean customer
"A sales engineer is thus both "a salesperson that understands and can apply engineering" and "an engineer that understands how to sell engineered systems". With this new position, I took over the responsibility of three main markets: • Automotive, • Smart Energies, • HDD.
This includes customer visits, preparation and lead of several field tests, internal development of customer products.
Using computer-assisted engineering to optimize and integrate a humidity and temperature compensation engine into mobile devices Developing various setups to calibrate and evaluate different kind of sensors: pressure controller, Peltier controllers, gas mixing system, fine particles counter Theoretical research and studies on heat paths in mobile devices Leading a group of students to perform and evaluate field tests with mobile phones Setting up a laboratory in a Korean subsidiary (hardware, software), as well as employee training Attending meetings, writing reports and visiting clients to give presentations and introduce them to new concepts (San Francisco, Korea, China) Developing test procedures and tools to evaluate and improve sensors cleanliness
Detailed Description
Working closely with customers (Asia, US), engineers, key account managers, and operators to deliver setups on time, software tools and scripts, hardware platforms, or algorithms to integrate into mobile devices.
Designing an electric circuit (choosing components, elaborate schematic) Software simulating and prototyping (Spice Simulators, PCB design) Software and algorithms implementation to read out a signal
Detailed Description
Working hand in hand with researchers to build a new concept of very-low noise amplifier and ADC that could measure very accurate temperature with the Johnson noise effect. A fully functional prototype has been built and tested.
Hardware design by choosing development modules (LCD screen, GPS receiver, GSM transmitter/receiver, ARM9 motherboard) Literature review about GSM and GPS technologies Code writing to independently test each module Final software and algorithms implementation to have a working device prototype
Detailed Description
Develop a prototype of a wireless enabled motorcycle helmet for mobile and GPS communications. This project thesis was submitted in partial fulfilment for my Master degree in Robotics (grade A with Distinction). The fully functional prototype was successfully delivered for the first time to the thesis supervisor.
Drafting of the functional specifications Prototyping of the device (hardware, pneumatic valves, data communication) Real-time microprocessor programming to ensure a reliable control and regulation
Detailed Description
Develop a test bench to evaluate car dashboard switches lifetime. A pneumatic system fitted with a metallic finger and a PID regulation has been realised to press on the items to test with high accuracy and feedback control.
