Summary
Francesco Malacarne is a System Test Engineer with eight years of experience in mechatronics and automotive systems, currently contributing to system-level testing at Stellantis. He blends a strong academic foundation from Politecnico di Torino (MSc Mechatronic Engineering, 110 cum laude) with hands-on V&V experience across ADAS diagnostics and functional integration. His master’s work customized PX4 firmware—adding real-time NuttX tuning, actuator mixer adjustments and a new UWB driver—showing a rare firmware-to-system perspective for a mechanical/mechatronic engineer. At Kineton he focused on diagnostics for advanced driver assistance, developing test strategies that bridge hardware, embedded software and system validation. Based in Turin, he pairs methodical engineering rigor with practical field experience in automotive systems integration. Colleagues describe him as detail-oriented and curious, comfortable moving from low-level C/C++ firmware to high-level system test orchestration.
