Professional Experience
European Type Approval Engineer (Stellantis-Toyota compact vans) - SEGULA Technologies
July 2025 - Present- Compile and steer European Community Whole Vehicle Type Approval (RCE) dossiers for multi-brand N1 programmes: Opel Combo, Peugeot Partner/Rifter, Citroën Berlingo and Toyota ProAce City.
- Guarantee full compliance of each homologation dossier with EU regulatory requirements ahead of submission to the French approval authority (CNRV).
- Conduct regulatory intelligence on evolving European automotive standards and directives, assessing their impact on vehicle conformity.
- Audit and update Fiche de Contrôle de Marquage (FCM) documentation governing approved markings across multiple models.
- Liaise with OEM engineering teams and approval bodies (UTAC, CNRV) to drive validation, audits and final approval sign-off.
- Administer homologation databases and prepare Demande W applications, securing provisional W-plate registrations that authorise road testing of pre-approval prototypes.
Engineering Leader - Braking System, Euro 7 (Renault Clio, Dacia Bigster & Dacia C-Neo) - SEGULA Technologies
February 2025 - July 2025- Directed validation-plan execution for the CMFB braking function within the PFC lot, aligning delivery with strategic validation goals and parts availability.
- Devised component validation plans for critical braking elements (brake disc, Mastervac, ESP10, MKC2) and tracked System and Customer Performance validation across three concurrent vehicle programmes.
- Safeguarded QCDP targets for the braking function: RTC and NRL milestone verifications, RTGFE alignment with the master schedule, and OneTD/SIGNE conformity at the RL2 gate.
- Enabled critical decision-making by synthesising technical input and fostering cross-stakeholder collaboration.
PFE Support - Elementary Function Pilot, Steering System (new Renault Clio) - SEGULA Technologies
July 2024 - January 2025- Orchestrated multi-disciplinary activities (engineering, procurement, suppliers, logistics, manufacturing) covering the development, validation and industrialisation of steering components.
- Administered key project deliverables - OneVAL progress, RGPQP milestones and LUP items - securing QCDP attainment for the steering function.
Engineering Leader - Front & Rear Axles / Wheel Assembly (new Renault Master, TGA to MA) - SEGULA Technologies
February 2023 - June 2024- Drove First Time Right (FTR) and On-Time Delivery (OTD) across a broad portfolio of technical deliverables: 2D/3D design dossiers, BOM/DEVO, IMDS, dimension chains, interface contracts, quality files (NRL, NDL, QDR, DDMRS-FMEA, RTC) and OneVAL validation plans.
- Oversaw development and validation of critical chassis components: hub bearings (Gen2/Gen3), steering knuckles, discs, splash guards, rear axles, wheel carrier plates and associated fasteners.
- Ensured product and process development conformed to industry standards, legal safety regulations and Renault Design System specifications, driving efficiency and quality optimisations.
- Provided technical expertise to cross-functional teams (design, logistics, quality), strengthening design robustness and proactive risk management.
Mechanical Design Engineer - Smart Car (Citroën C3 & C3 Aircross) - SEGULA Technologies
October 2021 - October 2022- Performed shape-plan analyses and feasibility studies for exterior plastic parts, applying injection-moulding design rules (minimum thickness, draft, part rigidity).
- Designed and integrated components in CATIA V5: tail-lamp bracket, rear bumper upper and lower skins, skid plate, tow hook, sensor and side brackets, and lateral reinforcements.
