After my three year training period in Ratier-Figeac, I'm still working in Ratier-Figeac electronics design office as an Altran Sud-Ouest consultant.
Main missions are :
--> Embedded equipement developpements
--> Manufacturer and sub-contractor following up
--> Specific tests

Ratier-Figeac built its fame in the air transport since the beginning of the years 1900 by developing and marketing the first propellers with variable steps.
For a few years the company has decided to diversy its production and wanted to be considered like an aeronautical system creator. In order to reach this goal Ratier-Figeac always designs propellers but also actuators and cockpit equipments.
Nowadays, Ratier is a part of the group Hamilton Sundstrand and consequently of the UTC group (USA).
The main customers are: airbus (civils & militaries programs), eurocopter, bombardier, Boeing…

I am working at the electronics research department like an electronics engineer apprentice (school CESI of Toulouse). My mission is to develop tools of qualification initially (qualification of cockpit equipments, actuators…)
In the second time, I work on the design of electronics prototypes aiming at proposing a knowledge for new customers and answering as best as we can to call to tender.

Technologies and software used for these missions: Arinc429 bus, CAN bus, Labview, VHDL on FPGAs (Actel), digital acquisition, EMI qualification, Pads, Matlab…

Abroad training (Portsmouth - England) during 4 months in a research laboratory which is an industrial projects sub-contractor.
Research where mainly about AI (Artificial Intelligence).

For an industrial company, my project was to design an smart CCTV equippement where several cameras are able to be switched correctly by located an abnormal noise.

Electrics installations for centre town shops. Follow-up and maintenance of these shops.

Training course (two year degree validation) in a research laboratory.
Researches based on renewable energies.

For the ordering of an industrial company, the "actuators and energy" team of this laboratory had designed a portable generator of electricity. This device generated a current helped by the hip movements during the walk. My mission was to study and then to design a simulator of the movement of the hip in order to test this device.
This project carried me to create various devices, such as electronics boards of data conversion, of engine supply, an automated program of control…

Several missions as a temp electrician during school holidays.
