Our Team
We're a team of Systems Engineers and developers working across aerospace, defence, space, and rail.
Nicolas Hadzinikitas
CEO / FOUNDERNicolas is a Systems Engineer with a decade of experience in MBSE across railway and aerospace. He started at Alstom, where he progressed from Systems Engineering to MBSE methodology development on urban transit platforms.
At Bombardier, he defined the MBSE approach for Crossrail London and LOTrain, then contributed to harmonizing MBSE practices across the Western Europe, Middle East & Africa region on the Aventra platform.
He then joined Airbus as MBSE Technical Leader on the DDMS program, contributing to the development of the MOFLT framework — working with subject matter experts to capture engineering needs and translate them into the framework's ontology, methodology, and tooling.
He founded MBSE Consulting in 2022 to help organizations navigate the MBSE journey he's been through himself — from first pilot to scaled adoption.
Philippe Meurant
CTO / MBSE ExpertPhilippe is a Systems Engineer and MBSE Framework specialist. He started at Airbus Helicopters, where he created an MBSE methodology for avionics architecture.
He then moved to Airbus Commercial Aircraft, where he contributed to the MOFLT framework — authoring methodology handbooks, developing the multi-level approach, building plugins and automations.
At Airbus Defence & Space, he combined framework development with hands-on deployment on operational programs, such as the FCAS program and implementing a UAF-based MBSE approach for a DGA (French Air Force) program.
He joined MBSE Consulting in 2023, where he designed and delivered the MBSE Framework for Singapore's Land Transport Authority while continuing to contribute to the Airbus MOFLT framework.
On the side he moderates the r/systems_engineering community on Reddit (16,000+ members).
Christos Renios
MBSE ExpertChristos is a Systems Engineering expert with an MSc in Aeronautical & Space Systems, published work, and over a decade of experience leading engineering transformations across aerospace, railway, and automotive industries.
He began his career at Airbus in Toulouse in 2013, applying MBSE to advanced R&D programs.
He later joined Altran, where he applied MBSE across multiple programs for Airbus, Renault, and Alstom.
He then moved to the UK to join Bombardier, where he built and led the systems engineering team for London’s Elizabeth Line. He designed, formalized and deployed the MBSE methodology / framework at regional level, establishing modeling, simulation, and verification practices while coaching engineering teams.
He subsequently served as Head of MBSE for Western Europe, driving large-scale adoption and coordinating MBSE activities across product families.
He now operates as an MBSE Expert contributing to the deployment of MBSE on next-generation hydrogen programs in Airbus, including ZEROe, FelloFly, and Clean Aviation since 2022.
Julien Coustillas
SOFTWARE ENGINEERJulien is a Software Engineer with a background in cloud architecture, IoT, and high-scale serverless systems. He co-founded Voltyo, an energy optimization startup, where he built the platform as CTO.
He then spent four years at Nanolike as the lead cloud engineer, migrating legacy systems to AWS serverless architecture and managing infrastructure handling millions of daily invocations.
He joined MBSE Consulting in 2025, where he develops plugins and automations, turning framework design decisions into the working tool capabilities that engineers interact with every day.
