Freelancer profile translated to English.
Back to original languageAbout Pierrick
Do you have a connected product idea to realize, an embedded system to modernize, or a prototype to push towards industrialization? I am the single point of contact you need: I handle the electronic board design and firmware development from A to Z, without you having to coordinate multiple suppliers or ensure translation between an electronics engineer and a developer.
What I concretely design
I work on various IoT and embedded systems projects:
- Sensor data acquisition and processing
- Industrial communication (CAN, Modbus, RS485),
- Communicating connected objects (WiFi, BLE)
- Supervision or control-command systems.
- Test benches
An iterative work method, focused on your results
I don't believe in fixed specs delivered six months later.
My approach is resolutely iterative:
1) First discussion to understand your needs, constraints, and timeline.
2) Preliminary design: I define the hardware and software architecture and anticipate risk points.
3) Rapid prototyping to validate key assumptions as early as possible.
4) Prototype iterations with your feedback, until a stable, tested, and documented system is achieved.
5) Transition to production, with the goal of cost control and product quality.
This approach allows you to maintain control over the project at every stage, adjust priorities if the context changes, and avoid unpleasant surprises at the end of the mission.
Complete deliverables, to fully own your intellectual property. You are not dependent on me to keep your product alive. This is a guarantee I consider non-negotiable.
Let's work together
Whether your project is in the ideation, prototyping, or existing system optimization phase, do not hesitate to contact me for an initial discussion.

Experience
- PomaProduct Designer | Technical ManagerTRANSPORTATIONAugust 2023 - March 2026 (2 years and 7 months)Lyon, FranceAs part of the redesign of their life-line monitoring system, I was involved in the design of three electronic boards and the development of two embedded software applications.The project includes a significant number of communication interfaces:- LoRa mesh, enabling the management of a self-organizing network of satellite boards.- ModBus and ProfiNet for interoperability with legacy automation systems.- RS485 for wired network communication.- Fiber optic communication for urban environments where telecommunications are disrupted.The development also included a 7" touchscreen for operator control. After starting with TouchGFX, the development choice shifted to the LVGL framework.I also managed the certification process, which went beyond a simple CE marking. The client wanted to understand the design margins regarding thermal shock, vibration, and lightning impact.Ultimately, I delivered a complete project design mastery package and a reliable industrial diagram, allowing my client to be fully autonomous for the production and operation of their system.
- Markem-imajeProduct Designer | Technical ManagerRETAIL (LARGE RETAILERS)July 2021 - December 2022 (1 year and 5 months)Lyon, FranceThe objective of this project was to design an industrial ink cartridge agitator. A strong Design To Cost constraint imposed a reduced manufacturing cost.The service included electronic design, extended to electrical sizing and wiring, embedded software development, and mechanical design. I subcontracted the mechanical part and managed the overall project.I also oversaw the certification phase for the Machinery Directive to affix the CE marking to the project.Ultimately, I delivered a complete project design mastery package and a reliable industrial diagram, allowing my client to be fully autonomous for the production and operation of their product.
- ItechCanaProduct Designer | Technical ManagerENERGY AND UTILITIESMay 2020 - December 2022 (2 years and 7 months)Lyon, FranceAs part of an innovative R&D project, I assisted my client in the design and development of an automatic industrial ice cube generation system. The goal was to create a device that would scale my client's business.The objective was also to enter the nuclear market, with a focus on full traceability of actions and a "secure by design" guarantee against exceeding physical limits that could damage installations.This product was presented at the World Nuclear Exhibition.
