Senior Scientific Computing Engineer (Python) · Technical Lead
Lyon · France
Scientific computing engineer (Python) in nuclear simulation at EDF, I built my expertise on highly constrained systems: scientific computing, neutronics simulation (ODYSSÉE chain, EMC2-E scheme) and software quality suited to nuclear-safety stakes.
Since 2025 my role has grown into technical leadership: cross-team coordination, client/supplier interface, running the 2027-2030 development contract. Without leaving the technical side: I use it to frame decisions and anticipate friction before it blocks.
What draws me in: problems that resist, dependencies between teams to untangle, situations where nobody has the full picture yet. The same logic as in ultra-endurance: hold on over time, analyse, never lose the thread.
Technical understanding sharp enough to be credible with the teams, enough distance to coordinate without drowning in execution.
The right time for every task.
