Software Team Manager at Safran - Navigation & Timing
Paris, Ile-de-France
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolNicolas Bourdaud is a software team manager with 18 years of experience building and leading R&D teams at the intersection of embedded systems, real-time signal processing, and machine learning. He has repeatedly taken small teams from prototype to production—designing embedded STM32/ARM platforms, optimizing ML and signal algorithms in C/C++ for real-time constraints, and architecting Python platforms for quantum-control at Alice & Bob. His background combines a PhD in Brain–Computer Interfaces with hands-on system programming (drivers, kernel and user-space USB, Bluetooth) and probabilistic/Bayesian modelling, enabling him to bridge deep research and robust product engineering. Known for instituting development practices, code review and traceable architectures in regulated and experimental environments, he also has a track record recruiting and growing compact, high-impact teams. Not obvious from titles: he often implements the low-level drivers and performance optimizations himself, ensuring teams deliver both scientifically rigorous and production-ready solutions.
