About Andrei

|EN
I’m a hardware engineering leader with 15+ years of experience spanning silicon design to complete product development. I’ve built technical service lines, founded a hardware startup, and led complex engineering initiatives across power systems, imaging technologies, and high-performance electronics.

I work with companies needing deep technical expertise to solve complex hardware challenges, strategic leadership to build or scale engineering capabilities, fractional engineering leadership during growth or transition, and expert guidance on power integrity, silicon design, or system architecture.
My approach combines hands-on technical depth with strategic thinking. I don’t just solve immediate problems—I help build the capabilities, processes, and team structures that create lasting value.

Services: Fractional Engineering Leadership (VP/Director level), Power Systems & Power Integrity Consulting, Silicon & ASIC Design, Hardware Product Development, and Technical Strategy & Capability Building.
Based in Grenoble, France. Available for remote work and travel across Europe.
