Laurent Bristiel is a Senior Test Engineer with 13 years of hands-on experience designing test strategies, leading QA teams and building automation across startups and large industrial players. He currently works on embedded Linux energy management systems at Schneider Electric while on assignment from Capgemini Engineering, combining manual, Robot Framework and Python-based automated testing for IoT and networking stacks. Previously he led QA and customer experience at Prophesee, covering everything from low-level C++/Python APIs to ML inference pipelines, and has run his own consulting outfit helping teams adopt DevOps and continuous testing. He has deep experience scaling QA in distributed teams (10–20 engineers), shipping CI-driven workflows with Jenkins/Docker and improving product docs—he also contributes documentation fixes to the widely used Robot Framework open-source project. Comfortable across Linux, Yocto, Python, C++ and test tooling, he blends technical depth with practical delivery and a knack for turning complex hardware+software products into verifiable releases. Based in Grenoble, he pairs an engineering education from Télécom Paris and EURECOM with a strong track record in both enterprise and product-focused environments.
