About Pablo
I am a freelance engineer specialized in Model-Based Design (MBD), powertrain engineering, energetics, and control software development. My experience spans multiple industries and projects:
I have developed control software for electric vehicle cooling systems (Hutchinson), worked on embedded control algorithms for Formula 1, Formula E, and LMDh programs (Alpine Racing), and designed predictive control strategies for PEM fuel cell systems (IFP Energies nouvelles).
My expertise includes system modeling (Simscape, AMESim, GT-Power), control strategy development (Simulink, MATLAB), validation (MIL, SIL, HIL), and automatic code generation.
I have also contributed to research projects on vehicle thermal management (VEDECOM) and turbocharged spark-ignition engine thermal analysis (École Centrale de Nantes in collaboration with PSA Group). I enjoy working in collaborative, international environments, bringing strong technical skills together with a hands-on, solution-driven approach to help my clients develop, optimize, and validate complex control systems.
