AN ALUMNI, A CAREER PATH AND YOU  !

Benjamin Levy joined ECE Paris and more specifically, he specialized in embedded systems, aeronautics and robotics because he loves anything to do with innovation. 

After a French Scientific baccalaureate with a major in Engineering science, Benjamin Levy joined ECE. He was drawn by the practical implementation of the programs taught, with a scientific and technical project and a group-based multidisciplinary project.

Gradually, over the course of his varied experience with different companies, (embedded engineer at Kuantom, systems acquisition and data transport engineer at Airbus, and product manager at Netatmo), Benjamin started to understand that he loved being at the heart of things, that is, at the heart of strategic decisions.

“This is a real career booster and it means that you can explore several positions in record time. I was the manager of an Orange outlet so I was in the field and close to individual clients. Nowadays, I’m in charge of managing strategic projects with the Orange Cloud for Business CEO,” he explains.

Despite being an engineer, Benjamin has checked in the technical baggage he acquired at ECE, and has never hesitated to change course or field of study to satisfy his curiosity.

“I’m not what you call a ‘technical’ engineer these days. I use these skills to progress further but they’re not the core of my work and I remain passionate about technology and innovation. When I’m asked what I’ll be doing in 15 to 20 years, I don’t know, but I’d like to take over the management of an organization or company one day. This might sound pretentious but you need ambition to stay on course! But I’m sure that I’ll turn to a manual job sooner or later. Cabinet maker sounds good…” he smiles.
