About Seriem

Electronics engineer specialized in PCB design, hardware architecture, and embedded systems, with over 7 years of experience in demanding technical environments in Switzerland and internationally.

My background has allowed me to work on high-value technological projects in the automotive, industrial IoT, connected embedded systems, and high-reliability applications. In particular, I have designed electronic boards integrating complex interfaces such as 4G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS/GNSS, CAN, RS-485, I2C, USB, as well as SENT/SPC/PWM, and sensors for temperature, pressure, Time-of-Flight, and position (inductive).

My expertise covers the entire hardware development cycle: system architecture definition, schematic design, PCB routing using Altium Designer, component selection, sensor integration, power management, EMC/EMI constraints, validation, prototyping, and preparation for industrialization.

I also have solid experience in high-speed, RF PCB design, and antenna design, acquired particularly in the automotive sector, on projects for future generations of electric vehicles. This experience has allowed me to collaborate with leading international clients and develop an approach focused on performance, robustness, and industrialization.

Today, I support companies seeking an expert capable of transforming an idea, a specification, or a prototype into a reliable, optimized, and production-ready electronic board.

Experience

  • Swiss Airtainer SA
    Electronic Development Manager
    TECH
    July 2025 - Today (11 months)
    Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland
    • Managed the electronic development and system architecture of Swiss Airtainer embedded platforms for temperature-controlled air containers.
    • Designed and evolved the central communication, telemetry, and control board for the embedded system.
    • Designed printed circuit boards using Altium Designer: schematics, layout, design rule checks (DRC/ERC), design reviews, preparation for manufacturing and industrialization.
    • Developed embedded architectures integrating 4G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS/GNSS, CAN, RS-485, I2C, USB...
    • Developed an integrated fan speed control system for managing container fan speeds.
    • Developed a specific USB HUB board for HMI/maintenance/connectivity integration needs, consistent with the SCS documented USB architecture.
    • Integrated sensors and measurement subsystems, particularly for temperature, pressure, shock, and time-of-flight; internal documentation confirms minimum pressure/shock environments and multiple captures of the Mobile Surveillance Unit (MSU).
    • Defined the interface between MSU, EPS, TCS, HMI, and IFD, using CAN, RS-485, MUX, UART, and other communications.
    • Extensive work on EMC / DO-160 / CE / FCC / IEC 60068 constraints, as well as mechanical robustness, thermal resistance, and environmental qualification.
    • Oversaw choices for stack-up, signal integrity, ESD/TVS protection, decoupling, power management, and long-term reliability.
    • Managed hardware redesign projects and product evolution towards more performant and industrializable IoT platforms.

  • IPS Insights
    Founder
    TECH
    April 2024 - April 2025 (1 year)
    Lausanne, Switzerland
    I founded IPS Insights to help companies design performant, reliable, and industrially viable PCBs.

    I support my clients throughout the entire hardware development chain: architecture definition, schematics, multilayer routing, sensor integration, analog and digital electronics, power supply, EMC verification, simulations, and preparation for manufacturing.

    My goal is not just to make "a board that works," but to design a solution that is:

    Technically sound
    Optimized for manufacturing
    Robust in real-world environments
    Consistent with cost, schedule, and industrialization constraints

    I am particularly comfortable with projects requiring true mastery of PCB design: embedded boards, precision electronics, sensor systems, mixed analog/digital boards, power management, and products intended for demanding environments.
