Summary
Laurent Damon is an engineering and innovation manager with 10+ years of experience designing and delivering high-reliability embedded and RF systems, currently leading a 10–15 person team on certified radiotelecommand products in Grenoble. He combines hands-on firmware and system design (ARM Cortex-M, Contiki, 802.15.4, CoAP) with product and technical strategy—having driven RF/LTE/5G product roadmaps, anti-drone jamming projects and SDR prototypes. Comfortable across the full lifecycle from pre-sales to maintenance, he excels at coordinating cross-disciplinary stakeholders and introducing modern agile and CI practices to historically hardware-centric teams. His background spans STMicroelectronics R&D to leadership roles in industrial and semiconductor sectors, and he frequently bridges complex technical detail to non-technical audiences. Notably, he pairs deep embedded expertise with an MBA mindset, enabling him to spot new business opportunities while maintaining certification and quality constraints.
