Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout François-Xavier
For 25 years, I have been supporting mobility manufacturers — startups, SMEs, and Tier 1 suppliers — **to make functional safety a lever for development**, not an imposed constraint.
What I bring:
I integrate into your project team as an outsourced Safety Manager. I analyze risks, build the safety concept, specify requirements, monitor suppliers, and prepare the certification file — throughout the system's entire lifecycle.
I also act as an independent assessor and auditor (ISA): conformity assessment, ISO 26262 audit, CENELEC SIL verification, EN 13849 assessment, ADAS audits for UNECE homologation.
My scope of intervention:
Automotive · Railway · LRT & urban mobility · Maritime · Agricultural · Off-road
ISO 26262 · IEC 61508 · CENELEC EN 50126/50128/50129 · EN 13849 · ISO 25119
Some clients who have trusted me:
Bluebus, Bouygues Energie, Urbanloop, Forvia, Qinomic, La Sicef, UTAC…
My lean structure (Ve2smart, SASU) allows me to be responsive, committed, and competitive — with the legitimacy of a former BU manager at Bureau Veritas and a contributor to the writing of ISO 26262.
