Alexandre Bauduin

Consulteer

In this episode of A Different Me, i speak to Alexandre Bauduin who currently resides in Switzerland and works for Consulteer, testing “sensitive airborne military systems”. His career started in the space industry where he discovered his passion for aerospace, working on both military and civilian projects. He was sometimes steered away from aerospace but his passion pushed him to become an airline pilot, as a way to really understand how those instruments he programmed and integrated were operating in a cockpit. One of his last challenges was to organize flight simulator testing into a lean manufacturing environment.

Consulteer has thousands of employees with over 150 nationalities working under the same organisation. Alexandre believes this mix of culture & diversity is essential to the team as not only does it bring different diversity but they bring different skills to building of flight simulators.

On Wednesday the 13th of November, Alex will take to the stage at the 27th EuroSTAR Conference in Prague with his keynote, ‘Flying High – Test Automation in the Boeing 777’. Alexandre will outline how he overcame the many challenges faced by combining his skills in test design and his expertise as an airline pilot, including the decision-making process used to focus testing and checking of the simulator, constrained by aviation authorities requesting a very detailed simulation with a blend of realistic scenarios and catastrophic failures. You will learn strategies to organize and prioritize automation, develop regression checking suites for very large mission-critical software systems, and report the meaningful information to stakeholders.

So sit back, relax and enjoy your flight with captain Alexandre Bauduin aboard the Boeing 777.
