Youssef LACHHAB

– Led a cross-functional team designing a Gen-Al multi-agent copilot for automotive system & software engineering, covering requirements analysis, scenario generation, and simulation-driven validation. – Owned the end-to-end solution architecture aligned with ISO 15288, V-Model, MBSE (SysML), and ASPICE, maintaining a fully traceable SRS across system, software, and verification layers. – Delivered an industrial PoC for a major automotive OEM, automating scenario generation and simulation execution, significantly improving test throughput and engineering productivity. – Scaled the solution with a global OEM, securing cloud deployment budget and industrialising multiple Gen-Al use cases: requirements extraction, redundancy detection, traceability, SOA code generation, and documentation. – Designed high-performance Al pipelines using vector databases, RAG, parallel embeddings, caching, and hybrid local/cloud LLM integration. – Advanced R&D on Al-assisted verification and analysis, including automated requirement coverage assessment and preparation of test artefacts compatible with existing engineering toolchains (e.g. MATLAB-based workflows). – Conducted applied research on RLHF pipelines for both Al software systems and physical devices.

– Owned the system architecture for the HOD (Hands-On-Detection) sensor-fusion stack, ensuring compliance with ISO 15288, ASPICE, and ISO 26262 ASIL-B standards. – Reduced false positives through Kalman-filter tuning and signal/noise root-cause fixes, clearing validation gates ahead of schedule. – Migrated control models from MATLAB/Simulink to SysML with IBM ALMtraceability, reducing review turnaround time for change requests. – Conducted Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment (HARA) and compiled the functional safety case.

– Owned the end-to-end product lifecycle for the Charging & Energy Management module within STLA Brain's zonal E/E architecture from requirements capture to in-vehicle validation. – Defined and drove the product roadmap in collaboration with systems, embedded software, and validation teams, balancing hardware-software trade-offs and aligning with program OKRs. – Led and coordinated a global team of 10+ engineers across France, Italy, Germany, US, India, and Brazil; facilitated Agile ceremonies, removed integration blockers, and delivered v1.0 launch on schedule. – Established a data-driven KPI dashboard (time-to-charge, SOC accuracy, cost per kWh) to guide feature prioritisation, ensuring delivery within scope, cost, and timeline.

– Led trade-off studies for next-gen zonal E/E topologies, modelling options in Siemens Capital + SysML while ensuring ISO 15288 and ASPICE SYS.2 traceability. – Developed technical and economic business cases that reduced wiring-harness weight while meeting EMC, CAN-FD, and Automotive-Ethernet constraints. – Facilitated MBSE design reviews (Capital, Enterprise Architect, Polarion), closing >90% of specification gaps before RFQ freeze. – Presented trade-off dashboards to BU VPs and customer chief engineers, securing approval for two vehicle lines and positioning Leoni as a preferred E/E architecture supplier.

– Integrated a 5-sensor ADAS stack (camera, radar, LiDAR, ultrasonic, IMU) using ROS 2 / AUTOSAR Adaptive, and developed perception & sensor-fusion pipelines in MATLAB/Simulink. – Led closed-track, SIL, and HIL validation campaigns, reducing lane-keeping error by ≈25% while ensuring compliance with ISO 26262 ASIL safety targets. – Authored SysML sequence and state diagrams for steering, braking, and HMI, maintaining full requirements traceability in IBM ALM. – Coordinated multi-site calibration drives with vehicle dynamics and safety teams, successfully closing all V-Model validation issues on schedule.

– Led vehicle electronics process design for automated end-of-line testing, including key-learning, ECU calibration/configuration, and full E/E diagnostics before vehicle release. – Partnered with the chief E/E architect and ECU owners to ensure error-free CAN-FD, LIN, and Ethernet interfaces across the full architecture. – Developed a diagnostic coverage matrix that improved fault-detection rate by ≈18% on powertrain controllers. – Introduced version-controlled test scripts in Jenkins CI, accelerating release cycles by one sprint, and facilitated cross-plant FMEA workshops to integrate lessons learned into industrialisation standards.

– Managed the serial-life health of vehicle E/E processes and products by tracking KPIs, troubleshooting line stoppages, and driving corrective actions to maintain production flow. – Implemented process changes triggered by product updates, programme mix shifts, quality escapes, and performance-improvement plans, aligning with corporate directives while ensuring takt-time compliance. – Coordinated daily with engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams to align FMEA and control plans, ensuring on-schedule launches and audit readiness.

– Development of a communication stack in C # programming language – Interfacing between a system (Lynx 3) and a meter (Microcompt +)
