Emile Decosterd
Emile Decosterd is a mechanical engineer by training with a profound passion for control systems and embedded technology. After earning his MSc from EPFL in Switzerland, he transitioned into the world of embedded software, where he has accumulated over seven years of experience across various industries.
Currently, Emile serves as an embedded software engineer at Condair Group AG. In this role, he focuses daily on software architecture, applying a top-down approach to design. He advocates for this methodology as a primary way to bridge the gap between high-level requirements and low-level implementation.
Emile’s core philosophy is that a structured architectural approach enables the use of modern software development workflows and tools within the embedded domain. By prioritizing design clarity, he ensures that technical efforts remain focused on delivering tangible value for the business.
Top-Down Design: Modernizing Embedded Software for Business Value
Status: Coming up in April 2026!Join our hands-on session where we will explore the top-down approach in embedded software architecture. This workshop will provide practical insights to streamline the development process and align technical decisions with business goals.
We will start with an overview of the top-down design methodology, discussing its benefits and how it helps maintain focus on delivering value to the business. Through interactive exercises, participants will apply these principles in real-time, working collaboratively on different parts of embedded software using modern workflows.
By the end of the session, participants will have a solid understanding of how to implement this approach to make their development process more efficient and business-focused.
