About Christophe

Senior Electrical and Automation Engineering professional with over 18 years of experience in the design, compliance, and reliability of electrical systems in demanding environments. I am involved in the entire lifecycle of electrical projects: writing specifications, defining architectures, calculations and dimensioning, regulatory compliance (CE/EN, NIBT-OIBT, UL/NFPA/NEC), interdisciplinary coordination, manufacturing support, FAT, and commissioning.

My background covers various fields such as special machinery, industrial processes, infrastructure, heavy mobile equipment, and technical buildings, primarily in Switzerland and international contexts.

I am regularly called upon as a technical referent for projects with high technical or regulatory criticality, to secure design choices, clarify interfaces between disciplines (mechanical, automation, production), and structure electrical projects to ensure robust, reliable, and sustainable solutions.

I thrive in roles that combine high-level technical expertise with electrical project management, within organized teams where rigor, compliance with standards, and design quality are fundamental.
