How to become an embedded electronics project manager

Florent, can you introduce the path which led you to your position of embedded electronics project manager?

I graduated from ENSEA (National Superior School of Electronics and its Applications), a generalist engineering school which prepares to electronics, software, telecommunications and embedded systems professions.

I made my end-of-studies internship at ELSYS Design and was hired just after it ends as a board engineer. Next, I started to work on a turn-key mode from our design center in the Ile-de-France region for embedded electronics systems in the aerospace and transport sectors. Then, I conducted missions on a consulting mode at two major clients’ places who evolve in aeronautics and defense sectors.

Since the end of last year, with almost 5 years of experience, I achieved my goal and I became an embedded electronics project manager within our design center in the Ile-de-France region.
