Benjamin F.

Senior R&D and Product Owner with over 15 years of international experience leading engineering projects across Europe, the U.S., and Asia. With a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering and strong foundations in acoustics, applied mathematics, and AI, I specialize in managing the full product lifecycle from concept to industrialization. I have delivered complex, AI-integrated solutions for OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers in the automotive, logistics, and tech industries.

My core strengths include product ownership, agile project management (Scrum, A-SPICE), cross-cultural team leadership, and technical key account management. I've led multi-disciplinary teams on advanced engineering programs, including ADAS systems, EV thermal technologies (notably with Tesla), and logistics automation at Amazon. I’m skilled in DFMEA, PLM, and design for manufacturing, with hands-on proficiency in Python, MATLAB, C++, and CAD/CAE tools like CATIA and Simulia.

Fluent in French and English, I also operate professionally in Japanese, Spanish, German, and Mandarin, enabling seamless collaboration in global contexts. Experienced with tools such as Jira, Confluence, and Power BI, I bridge the gap between engineering, data, and business strategy to deliver innovation-driven outcomes.

I bring a rare blend of technical depth, linguistic fluency, and cross-industry agility—ideal for projects at the intersection of R&D, AI, and product innovation.
