Summary
Alexis Menantaud is an embedded systems engineer with a decade of experience designing and validating FPGA/ASIC and SoC solutions across France and international placements. He has hands-on expertise from low-level baremetal bring-up of DDR4 controllers and SoC prototyping on Cadence Palladium to embedded Linux multimedia integration and Vivado HLS image-processing prototypes. Alexis has supported safety-critical railway and defense programs (ERTMS/ATO, MBDA) and contributed to European collaborative projects, blending rigorous V&V practices with scripting and automation (VHDL, Questa, Tcl/Perl/Python). Comfortable in cross-cultural teams, he pairs industrial delivery at companies like NanoXplore and Akkodis with research-to-product prototyping from his LIP6 and academic exchanges in Montreal and Shanghai. Notably, he bridges hardware and software concerns—optimizing FPGA power estimation tools while developing drivers and testbenches—making him effective at both architecture validation and hands-on implementation.
