Leuven, Flemish Brabant, Belgium
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolFranco Minucci is a SoC Design and Validation Engineer at Nokia Belgium with 11 years of hands-on experience bridging hardware design, embedded firmware, and wireless communications research. He holds an MSc in Electronic Engineering and a PhD from KU Leuven, where his doctoral and postdoctoral work focused on UAV traffic management, software-defined radios, and ORAN-based 6G research. His industry background spans ASIC test, optical and broadband hardware design, and embedded system development across companies like imec, Alcatel‑Lucent and Ericsson, giving him rare end-to-end expertise from silicon testability to system-level validation. Fluent in Python, C and Matlab, he pairs practical production experience with academic rigor to translate research prototypes into validated SoC solutions. A less obvious strength is his long-term involvement in test strategy and project coordination for low-volume IC production, which sharpens his ability to align engineering, vendors and qualification constraints. Based in Leuven, he combines a passion for coding and hardware with a track record of delivering robust telecom and UAV communications systems.
