Jerome Bouchain

- Led system development for 3 EU Commission R&D projects, delivering autonomous corner module technologies (steering-by-wire, brake-by-wire, active suspension) on time. - Built a complete dSPACE HIL environment from scratch, cutting integration and hardware test cycles by ~30%. - Defined system requirements, developed control strategies and managed V&V across multi-site international teams. - Improved predictability through structured planning, risk management and data-driven decision making.

- Delivered the 7DCT dual-clutch gearbox software across the full lifecycle: planning, requirements, task management, testing and deviation resolution. Leading 10+ engineers. - Designed automated data-mining toolset, reducing manual reporting effort by approx 40% and improving traceability. - Maintained full requirements-to-test traceability throughout a multi-year series programme, supporting successful product launch. - Acted as OEM customer interface, ensuring stakeholder alignment and risk mitigation.

Main requirement manager for a gearbox development project in a worldwide international environment. Leading a group of requirement managers to handle and follow up the complete requirement database in strong interaction with the customer (Leading car manufacturer) and the suppliers (International automotive OEM's).

- At FEV GmbH: Led 5 requirements managers for 7DCT development; introduced CMMI Level 2 traceability and Excel VBA reporting tools, cutting reporting time by 50% and enabling data-driven decisions - For DAF Trucks: Led project to build a model-based ECU-in-the-loop HIL platform: full air-path/emissions Simulink model with automatic calibration, reducing validation turnaround from days to hours - For Rennwerk GmbH: Led development of an IR video tyre temperature mapping tool TyreTempPRO, commercialised

Project Manager for new high performance brake pads development dedicated to ceramic brake discs (serial sport and lux cars).

- Led F1 clutch development for the 2010 season — steering a 10+ person cross-departmental team from target definition to race application, delivering an automatic calibration tool used on the grid before race launch. - Built a complete rotational/translational/thermal clutch model to optimise launch performance. - Delivered a full car & powertrain model in Matlab/Simulink/dSPACE across multiple departments. - Developed telemetry, video and test-bench processing tools that became standard race tooling.

- As consultant at Siemens VDO Automotive AG (on site), developed and validated a self-adapting characterisation method for Piezo injectors in a common-rail diesel engine — resulting in a granted patent.
