Entreprises

• ST - Ericsson - Embedded Software Engineer

  2007 - maintenant Subcontractor for AKKA I&S (ex-COFRAMI) public company.
  (NXP Semiconductor till Aug 2008)
  (ST-NXP Wireless till February 2009)
  
  I work in the Boot and Flash Loader team, bringing experience in low level drivers and real-time improvement in embedded system without OS.
  Boot and Flash Loader Team (5 pers) works on Base-Band devices developing Boot ROM-code and Software to program Bootable binary application in the device memory.
  Because this is a small team, I'm involved in architecture, development, integration, validation, configuration management and documentation.
  
  Responsible of embedded loader SW new developments:
  - Performance improvement over USB link and Flash programming.
  - Generic Flash drivers with Flash parameters database : NOR, NAND, OneNAND, eMMC.
  - Error handling, Robustness (ECC, CRC check)
  * ARM 920T / ARM Cortex R4
  * Lauterbach Trace 32
  
  Take part of PC application SW development:
  - Multi-devices download feature using threads
  * Visual C++ / MFC

• Serma Ingenierie - Firmware lead Engineer

  Guyancourt 2006 - 2006 Serma Ingenierie is a Hardware Services Company, and this fixed rate project was for Visiodent public company.
  
  Involved in a design a dental digital radiology system with wireless and imaging functionalities, using backlit screen and Bluetooth.

  Project with high-definition and short-time acquisition requirements.
  I analyzed dataflow control from X-ray sensor to both embedded screen and remote computer through Bluetooth. I designed full digital architecture: mixed digital & software processing using VHDL and C language to be executed on a FPGA component with synthesized processor.
  I also implemented and tested embedded high-speed UART driver for Bluetooth, and added a hardware FIFO to the UART IP in order to prevent interrupt flooding during transfer.

• Texas Instruments - Embedded system software engineer

  Villeneuve-Loubet 2006 - 2007 Subcontractor for COFRAMI public company.
  I had responsibilities within the High-Level OS integration and system team of the Wireless Business Unit. Worldwide team working environment.
  
  Software system integration of a Smartphone (2.75G) software reference design where the modem and application execution domains operate on a single ARM9 processor (OMAP Single Core).
  I integrated both modem and application software components.
  - Modem: Layer 1, Protocol Stack, BSP, SIM, OS Framework interface
  - Application: BSP, Windows Mobile versions, Modem Framework interface.

• NODBOX - Hardware – Software Engineer

  2004 - 2004 I was involved in a project to design GPS system for speed monitoring with ARM7 processor, 8-bit microcontroller Cypress and GPS device. I implemented low-level software: Flash, EEProm, Bridge USB-UART drivers.
  
  I was also involved for the design of a high performance embedded multimedia architecture with wireless connectivity, WIFI, GSM/GPRS, GPS and automobile CAN bus. I specified and followed up PCB subcontract.

• Serma Ingenierie - Firmware Engineer

  Guyancourt 2004 - 2006 Serma Ingenierie is a Hardware Services Company, and this fixed rate project was for Schneider Automation public company.
  
  The project was to design analog application-specific modules for Programmable Logic Controller. I was involved in the development of Hardware/Software architecture using 16-bit microcontroller, digital and analog chips.

• Technifor - Engineer work placement

  2003 - 2003 For my engineer work placment, I was choosen for my knowledge of FGPA based technologies.
  
  As a sum-up of what I did:
  - Designed electronic board with 8-bit microcontroller, FPGA, and CAN bus.
  - Co-designed and specified digital logic (VHDL) with subcontractor: Control-Command stepping motors for synchronized axes, with real-time and precision constraints.
  - Developed software on microcontroller: CAN protocol and FPGA exchanges. Did VHDL tests.

• Imaje - Industrial project at engineer school

  CLERMONT FERRAND 2002 - 2002 As an autonom development team, we were 3 of us to realize these project. The project was managed as a fixed rate project.
  
  Task description:
  - Redesigned functional and technical specifications for a new System on Chip architecture based on FPGA component with 32 bits embedded core processor. Strong real time constraints.
  - Synthesized and benchmarked processor core on Xilinx target.
  - Implemented hardware and software for a connectivity board: Ubicom TCP/IP processor, remote control through embedded web server, Bridges for Ethernet, USB and RTC to serial RS232.
