About Antoine

Hello, I'm Antoine, a senior engineer specializing in real-time embedded systems and software architecture for demanding industrial environments.

With over 15 years of experience, including several years at Thales (aerospace & defense), I support companies throughout the entire product lifecycle: from design to validation (IVVQ), including system architecture, low-level development, and integration.

My main expertise:

  • Real-time development and embedded Linux (drivers, kernel, RT patches)
  • Architectures on STM32, ARM, PowerPC, MIPS
  • Critical systems and certification (DO-178, etc.)
  • Technical project ownership and management of multidisciplinary teams (software, electronics, mechanics)

Whether for critical embedded development, R&D process automation, industrial cybersecurity, or the design of complex technical platforms, I bring you a complete vision combining engineering rigor with a product approach.

Available for remote work, I am ready to take on architecture, development, or technical support missions.

Do not hesitate to contact me to discuss your project.

Available to help you at all stages of product design up to its validation.

Writing specifications, test plans, software development, prototyping, modeling, system architecture, HMI design.

See you soon
