About Yacine

I support companies in the analysis, validation, automation, and safeguarding of complex technical systems. My profile combines many years of experience as a multidisciplinary project engineer in systems engineering, embedded testing, technical quality assurance, and test automation with current qualifications in information security, BSI IT-Grundschutz, and business continuity management.

My technical background lies at the interface of electrical engineering, software engineering, mechatronics, and system development. I am particularly strong in projects where hardware/software systems need to be understood, tested, documented, automated, or technically coordinated.

My focus areas are requirements analysis, test conception, verification & validation, system integration, regression testing, technical documentation, and error analysis. I have experience with embedded systems, control units, sensor technology, HIL environments, test benches, measuring setups, and communication interfaces such as CAN, FlexRay, Ethernet, UART, and UDS.

In industrial projects, I have created, executed, evaluated, and automated test cases using tools like dSPACE, CANoe, CANape, EXAM, Jira, DOORS, Python, and CAPL. Additionally, I have experience in modeling and simulation of dynamic systems with Matlab/Simulink, ANSYS, COMSOL, and LabVIEW.

In addition, I have qualifications as an ISO/IEC 27001 Provisional Auditor and Implementer, Information Security Officer, BSI IT-Grundschutz Practitioner, and BCM Officer. This allows me to view technical systems from the perspective of security, resilience, risks, and regulatory requirements.

My added value lies in the combination of technical system understanding, structured testing and analysis competence, automation experience, and security-oriented thinking.

Education

  • Master of Engineering (Energy Systems Engineering)
    Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences
    2024
    Abschlussarbeit: Automatisierte Optimierung der Betriebszeit einer Wärmepumpe • Projektbeschreibung: Die Projektarbeit befasst sich mit einem System, das aus einer Luft-Wasser-Wärmepumpe und einem Warmwasserspeicher besteht. Die Wärmepumpenleistung wird durch den Speicher zeitlich vom Lastprofil unabhängig. Das Ziel besteht darin, ein Verfahren zur Optimierung der Wärmepumpenleistung über 24 Stunden zu entwickeln und simuliert zu testen, um die erwarteten Stromkosten zu reduzieren. Es werden die zeitlich variablen Strompreise berücksichtigt, die durch Smart-Meter-Gateways für Endkunden nutzbar gemacht werden können, wobei die Preise einen Tag vorher bekannt gegeben werden. Verbrauchskosten können optimiert werden, indem Warmwasserspeicherung und Wärmepumpe mithilfe von angelernten Vorhersagemodellen kombiniert werden. Die variablen Betriebszeiten können von diesem System genutzt werden, um die Kosten gegenüber Strompreisen deutlich zu senken.
  • Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering)
    Ostfalia University of Applied Sciences
    2018
    Abschlussarbeit: Tool zur Umsetzung der FEA in ANSYS für das Zustandsraummodell in MATLAB •Projektbeschreibung: Anhand eines zu programmierenden MATLAB-tools wird das FEM Model von ANSYS in MATLAB/Simulink exportiert, konvertiert und für eine schnelle Bearbeitungszeit reduziert. Als Beispiel wird ein einfacher Cantilever-Balken sowie vier komplexierte mechanische Strukturen, wie ein RC Flugzeug und eine Turbine, in ANSYS modelliert und in MATLAB exportiert. Das Tool kann in einem breiten Bereich angewendet werden, von großen Bauteilen im Bauingenieurwesen bis hin zu MEMS in der Microsystemtechnik. Die mögliche Integration von FEA in ANSYS kann in MATLAB, MATHEMATICA, LABVIEW u.a. sein. Die Integration von MATLAB und ANSYS enthalten die Vorteile beider Softwares für eine bessere dynamische Analyse. In der Regelungstechnik zum Beispiel nähern sich die Simulationsergebnisse den tatsächlichen Ergebnissen an, sofern das FEM Model sich dem tatsächlichen Modell annähert.
