Welcome to my professional website. My name is Sebastien Dupertuis and this place is a view of my professional background.

My profile

It has been more than ten years since I have been working at MathWorks in Bern as an application engineer, and later as a senior application engineer. Throughout my professional career in the industry, which spans over fifteen years of experience, I have always kept close contact with the academic world (universities and engineering schools).
Throughout all these years, I have gained extensive experience in the field of engineering across various industries such as industrial automation, robotics, medical and pharmaceutical equipment, automotive, as well as aerospace. This has allowed me to become familiar with work methodologies, industry-specific standards, and development processes implemented in large companies such as ABB, Alstom, Roche, Hamilton, Sonova, and others. I have also worked with small and medium-sized enterprises, which are highly prevalent in Switzerland.
Through my constant interactions with all these industry stakeholders, I have been able to build a significant network of contacts within Switzerland, as well as abroad. Simultaneously, I have always maintained connections with the academic sector, both with engineering schools and Swiss universities, such as HEIA-FR, UNIBE, NTB Buchs, ZHAW, ETH, and others. This has allowed me to sustain the relationships formed during my studies and to establish new ones.
Since September 2013, my work at MathWorks has involved direct contact with customers across the entire national territory and even in Europe to discuss their specific applications and present suitable solutions. This is done in various ways, such as carrying out projects through consulting, or developing and managing projects and applications for the various aforementioned industries. Detailed presentations on highly specific topics such as project management, modeling of physical systems, software engineering, verification and validation, or automatic code generation for various types of embedded systems are conducted. Additionally, I have had responsibilities regarding the management and organization of various major industrial events such as Sindex or SWISSED. I have also developed and delivered, on several occasions for customers, a complete training program for embedded systems following the Model-Based Design approach right through to hardware implementation for STM32 microprocessors and AMD Zynq SoC platforms.
Regarding my academic background, I took the University of Applied Sciences path for the engineering school, as well as the University path for both, the Bachelor and Master degrees. This allows me to have an overall perspective on the curriculum at the Swiss level and to be familiar with the requirements and expectations of both systems.
In 2021, I obtained my Master’s degree in Software Engineering for Embedded Systems from the University of Kaiserslautern in Germany. This program, unique in Europe, could only be pursued while working in parallel with a company. This proved to be very beneficial for me to strengthen existing ties and forge new connections between industry and academia. Earlier in my career, I earned two other significant degrees: one in Telecommunication Engineering with a specialization in signal processing, and another in Physics from the University of Geneva (UNIGE). Additionally, I received a certificate as an expert in radioprotection (ionizing radiation). During these studies, I conducted several experimental physics laboratories and also taught programming in mathematics and physics laboratories.
After working for more than fifteen years as a software engineer and application engineer (Senior) in multilingual environments (French, German, English), and gaining solid experience in the industrial world, particularly related to embedded systems. My goal would be to pass on my experience to future engineers.
