Sylvestre Sidibe

Senior Solution & Systems Architect with over 5 years of experience in model-based system specification, system architecture design, and validation-oriented engineering approaches in complex industrial and research environments. I specialize in translating system requirements into structured models, architectures, and deployable systems, applying model-driven engineering (MBSE-like approaches) through Digital Twin technologies (AAS), semantic modeling, and tooling frameworks. Experienced in method engineering and tool support for system modeling environments, enabling traceability, consistency, and automation across system lifecycle phases.

Worked in high-complexity environments (CEA, European industrial initiatives) involving system integration, validation constraints, and distributed architectures.

Senior Backend Engineer / Research Engineer at CEA Nano-Innov (2024-01 – Present)

Model-Based System Engineering & Architecture, Engineering Methods & Tool Support, and Papyrus Web AAS – AI-Powered Systems Engineering & Digital Twin Platform development.

• Designed model-driven system architectures for industrial Digital Twin systems (AAS-based)
• Contributed to system-level specification and structuring of industrial data spaces (Data4Industry-X / Gaia-X ecosystem)
• Defined validation-oriented system frameworks for Digital Product Passport (DPP), including lifecycle traceability and consistency rules
• Participated in system integration activities within multidisciplinary industrial and research environments
• Developed Eclipse Papyrus-based tooling (desktop & web) supporting system modeling and DSL-based specification
• Designed transformation pipelines between semantic models and system representations
• Architected a model-driven engineering platform exposing system modeling operations via Model Context Protocol (MCP)
• Enabled natural language-to-system-model transformation, supporting requirement-like inputs via LLMs (Ollama + Qwen2.5)
• Designed conversational workflows enabling: system specification capture, model refinement, validation of structured system representations
• Implemented semantic transformation layer (SAMM → AAS) aligned with model-driven system engineering principles
• Built bidirectional system model management (JSON, XML, AAS Part 2) supporting traceability and integration
• Developed automated system artifact generation (BaSyx Java/Python code generation)
• Engineered Spring Boot (Java 21 + PostgreSQL) backend supporting concurrent system modeling sessions
• Designed containerized deployment architecture (Docker Compose) for scalable engineering environments
