Über Camille
Ingénieur mécanique et CTO à la demande, j'accompagne les entreprises hardware de la conception à la production de masse.
Au sein de Yucca Lab, l'agence hardware que je co-anime, je prends en charge l'ingénierie mécanique, l'industrialisation et la direction technique de produits physiques complexes, des dispositifs médicaux aux objets connectés.
J'interviens sur l'ensemble de la chaîne : architecture mécanique, conception pour la fabrication (DFM), prototypage, sélection des fournisseurs et montée en cadence. Mon approche associe rigueur d'ingénierie et faisabilité industrielle dès le premier jour, pour transformer des concepts ambitieux en produits manufacturables et fiables.
Mon credo : un beau produit doit aussi être fabricable, dès le premier croquis.

Projekt- und Berufserfahrung
- YUCCA labFractional CTO (Hardware) & Mechanical EngineerApril 2021 - Heute (5 Jahre und 2 Monate)Hardware is hard.Most startups don’t fail because of their idea, they fail when transitioning from prototype to industrialization.We help hardware startups bridge that gap.I act as a Fractional CTO for hardware startups, helping teams turn ambitious concepts into production-ready, scalable products.What makes our approach different:We bridge industrial design, engineering, and manufacturing from day one — eliminating the classic “design vs engineering vs factory” disconnect.Over the past 10+ years, I’ve:• Designed and industrialized complex hardware systems (medtech, ocean tech, IoT)• Led full product lifecycles: concept → prototype → certification → mass production• Built robust products for real-world constraints (harsh environments, autonomy, reliability)• Structured supply chains and managed industrial partners (EU & Asia)• Reduced costly redesign loops by integrating DFM/DFA early in the processAt Yucca Lab, we operate as an end-to-end hardware partner, combining:• Industrial design (user-centric, sustainable, feasible)• Rapid prototyping & iterative validation• Advanced engineering (mechanical, embedded, system architecture)• Industrialization & production ramp-upThis integrated approach significantly reduces time-to-market and industrial risk.What I help startups with:• Product & system architecture• Prototype → industrialization transition• DFM / DFA / DTC (design for cost)• Rapid prototyping strategy & iteration loops• Supplier sourcing & manufacturing setup• Certification (CE, ISO13485…)• Technical leadership & team structuringTypical situations where I add the most value:• You have a prototype - but scaling to production feels risky• Your product was designed without industrial constraints in mind• You need senior technical leadership, but not full-time• You want to avoid costly redesigns at factory stageAvailable for:• Fractional CTO roles• Advisory• End-to-end hardware programs
- DreemHead of Mechanical EngineeringFebruar 2015 - April 2021 (6 Jahre und 2 Monate)Paris, France- Worked with Fuse Design (San Francisco) and Lunar Design (San Francisco)- Developed the full 3D model of the product using SolidWorks- Rapid prototyping of the headband all along the development cycle (3D printing, vacuum casting, CNC, silicon molding...)- Strong knowledge of smart textile- Worked with Chinese EMS (Brinno Inc., COMPAL) for mass production
- MIT Senseable City LabExternal Engineering ConsultantOktober 2014 - Januar 2015 (3 Monate)Boston Metropolitan Area, USAWaterFly Project (Carlo Ratti, Christopher Green)- Designed and 3D printed the waterproof drone cover (SolidWorks, Rhino)- Conceived the mechanical integration of the UAV's electronic components
