✦ Professional Experience

  • FENTISS France, Flight Software EngineerSept. 2025–Present
    Worked on specifications for an internal flight software prototype, contributed to technical proposals, de-risked technical choices regarding application porting from RTOS to Linux and supported team setup and onboarding in Toulouse. Performance benchmarking of the SKE flight software emulator and contributed to CNES KOSMOS with Linux partition integration onto Zynq-7000 hardware.
  • CNES, Embedded Software Engineer Apprentice 2022–Sept. 2025
    Designed, implemented and tested embedded flight software modules for spacecraft systems within the CNES KOSMOS framework. Prototyped PUS Services 23–25 (File Management, CFDP Integration, Transfer Coordination) in a partitioned XNG hypervisor based RTEMS environment. Contributed to the automation and verification of embedded software CI pipelines. Investigated file-based data handling strategies for onboard image storage and transfer using CCSDS CFDP in real-time systems.
  • FentISS, Software Engineer Intern 2024
    Worked on performance tuning of the SKE simulator for XtratuM hypervisor environments under Linux. Analyzed and optimized scheduling and CPU affinity (chrt, taskset, cpupower). Quantified execution time and jitter under controlled CPU load scenarios. Implemented a Q-learning technique to discover optimal kernel and process configurations.
  • Ikalogic, C++ Intern 2022
    Developed firmware for a 4-channel logic analyzer based on an NXP LPC55S69 microcontroller (Cortex-M33). Designed and integrated FreeRTOS-based multithreaded architecture, I2C-controlled LED HMI, software-regulated voltage threshold (via PWM + low-pass filter), USB bulk transfer communication, and a low-latency DMA pipeline between CPLD input and USB output using a ping-pong buffer architecture. Validated system performance up to 25 MHz with custom Qt-based USB testing application.
  • Thales, Observation Intern 2017
    Observed production chain and business engineering processes.
