Experiences
Mujin: Functional Safety Senior System and Software Engineer
In Japan at Mujin, I worked as a functional safety system and software engineer, contributing to the development of a SIL3-capable robot controller platform. I've work on the specification of core software features, supported the team in applying functional safety practices, and contributed to the Safety Plan, System Requirements, DFMEA, and other IEC 61508 deliverables. I also performed feasibility analyses for safety-related functions, designed and implemented a T3 diagnostic tool from scratch, and implemented an EtherCAT communication as part of the overall system design, including the setup of the EtherCAT bus and an automation HMI using CODESYS.
Leclanché E-Mobility: Software Team Lead
At Leclanché, I built and led the software team—growing it from three to ten engineers—while driving the development of a Functional Safe Battery Management System for the railway industry. I set up safety-compliant processes (EN 50129, EN 50657), created all plans and specifications from scratch, and trained the team in safety practices. In parallel, I led an external software team of three to implement marine-specific features, ensuring the system met all requirements for marine certification. To support a more robust and efficient development workflow, I also introduced continuous testing by building a Python-based automated test framework and a dedicated test bench entirely from scratch. As the software was highly customer-facing, I managed customer relations and coordinated closely with certification bodies to keep the project aligned. The result: the BMS achieved SIL2 certification for both railway and marine applications.
Liebherr: Embedded Software Engineer
At Liebherr, I worked on developing the embedded software that enables communication between the engine control unit, other vehicle systems, and smart sensors, integrating both a proprietary CAN protocol and J1939. I also troubleshot complex model-based software for the SCR system, helping resolve some of the most common issues reported in the field. In addition, I built and maintained a Python-based automated test framework with an intuitive GUI, significantly improving validation speed and overall testing efficiency. I also created a separate GUI to streamline requirements traceability, saving time for the entire team and helping ensure a well-structured and consistent software development process.
Bosch: Embedded Software Engineer and Technical Project Manager
At Bosch, I worked on the core software of the ESP system, developing AUTOSAR MCAL drivers and contributing to the network architecture. I have worked mainly on implementing an ICU driver for Renesas V850/Fx4 series, optimized an SPI driver using DMA channels for Freescale MPC55 and MPC56 series, developed an XCP over CAN module, and developed embedded tests for various MCAL modules. I also contributed to requirement specifications and supported the integration team with troubleshooting efforts during integration for several major automotive customers. As a Technical Project Manager, I have managed a team of five engineers to deliver reliable, quality-focused software meeting the customer's needs.
Valeo Lighting Systems: Software Development Lead
As a Software Development Lead, I managed the full lifecycle of the smart headlamp project, from workload estimation and planning to writing requirements and leading the software development. I supervised a team of external testing engineers, coordinated with hardware and system teams, and ensured compliance with automotive standards. I have worked on stepper motor drivers, CAN and LIN communication stacks, the integration of a bootloader, UDS routines and application software implementation. One of my key achievements was identifying a critical company need, designing, documenting, and delivering a proof-of-concept CAN-to-LIN gateway as a solution, resolving a major flaw in the original design and enabling seamless communication between vehicle networks.
Parkeon: Software Development Intern
During my internship at Parkeon, I've analyzed and modernized the development toolchain for a legacy banking system, with a strong focus on preserving existing history and workflows. This included migrating the source control system from CVS to SVN, restructuring repositories while ensuring data integrity, and maintaining and refactoring an existing Python framework to support newer Python versions. As part of this work, I evaluated and selected modern replacement libraries for obsolete dependencies, ensuring functional equivalence. I also designed and implemented a graphical tool to automate card reader application delivery, and set up a continuous integration environment using Jenkins, including automated integration test execution and quality metric calculation through custom Python scripts.

R&D Manager - Leclanché E-Mobility SA
I had the chance to get Rodolphe as a Team Lead for embedded software development in Leclanche for a few years. With the various challenges and complications we faced, I highly appreciated his technical skills as well as his pragmatic and dedicated attitude. He could find adequate solutions while keeping cold headed reactions, and this helped us greatly for eventually achieving a SIL2 certification of our Battery Management System.
Julien Lescot
Team Leader - Liebherr
I had the pleasure of working with Rodolphe for five years. He is a brilliant engineer with exceptional autonomy and a strong sense of ownership. Rodolphe consistently sees the big picture and proposes effective alternative solutions to achieve goals. He integrates seamlessly into any team and builds strong relationships with colleagues. If you're looking for someone you can truly trust and rely on, I highly recommend Rodolphe.
Patrice Paulus
Delivery Manager - Technology & Strategy, consulting for BOSCH (Translated from French)
During these three years of collaboration, Rodolphe consistently demonstrated a high level of technical expertise, exemplary rigor, and unwavering professionalism.
He was involved in a wide range of activities, notably in the development of AUTOSAR Basic Software for multiple projects, contributing across the entire V-cycle: requirements analysis, design, implementation, verification, and quality assurance phases. He effectively applied the quality processes in place at our clients’ organizations, ensuring reliable deliverables that were fully compliant with expectations.
Rodolphe also played a key role in developing test solutions for AUTOSAR Basic Software components, demonstrating a strong understanding of product architectures and an excellent ability to design comprehensive, relevant, and efficient test strategies.
In addition, he actively contributed to the development of the Network layer of an ESP braking system project, particularly working with XCP on CAN and Ethernet protocols. He approached complex technical topics with autonomy, structure, and initiative, consistently delivering robust and well-founded technical solutions.
During this period, Rodolphe also assumed coordination responsibilities as a Technical Project Manager (TPM), contributing to the supervision of a team of four to five colleagues. He effectively supported fellow developers, clarified technical objectives, and organized the team’s workload efficiently. His natural leadership and clear communication were instrumental to the successful execution of the projects.
Rodolphe particularly stands out for:
- His strong expertise in embedded software and AUTOSAR
- His rigor and strong quality mindset
- His team-oriented approach
- His ability to manage both technical and people-related responsibilities
- His reliability and commitment
I highly recommend Rodolphe for any position involving low-level embedded software development, AUTOSAR and communication-related components, or technical leadership roles in these areas. He would be a valuable asset to any organization seeking a competent, committed, and versatile professional..
