About
“Quality isn’t tested in at the end; it is validated at every decision.” With over 7.5 years of hands-on experience, I am a Senior EV / Hybrid Verification & Validation Engineer at BorgWarner Inc., working at the core of safety-critical automotive software and ECU validation. My career is rooted in ensuring that Electric, Hybrid, and Gasoline control systems behave exactly as intended, reliably, safely, and in line with global automotive standards. I specialize in System and Software Verification & Validation across the V-Model, with deep exposure to ASPICE (SWE.4, SWE.5, SWE.6) and ISO 26262 Functional Safety. From requirements analysis and SW design reviews to MIL, SIL, and HIL testing, I focus on measurable coverage, traceability, and audit-ready evidence that Tier-1s and OEMs rely on. A significant part of my work revolves around HIL validation using dSPACE ControlDesk and AutomationDesk, supported by tools such as CANoe, Trace32, Polyspace, Tessy, and MATLAB/Simulink (Stateflow). I validate complex ECU behaviors involving Power Electronics, eTurbo systems, Gas/Diesel Engine Management, and automotive protocols like CAN, LIN, UDS, and J1939. Key highlights from my journey: 🔹Delivered verification of ownership for EV, Hybrid, and Combustion ECU programs across global platforms 🔹Played a critical role in ASPICE compliance and functional safety readiness 🔹Reduced defect leakage through structured MIL/SIL/HIL and regression testing 🔹Acted as SPOC for HIL benches and testing infrastructure on high-visibility projects 🔹Mentored junior engineers on V&V methods, unit testing, and HIL best practices 🔹Recognized with awards for consistency, ownership, and delivery under constraints Beyond tools and processes, I bring a strong analytical mindset, clarity in communication, and a genuine interest in building reliable automotive software that reaches the road safely. Always interested in connecting with professionals working in Automotive V&V, HIL testing, ASPICE, and Functional Safety to exchange knowledge and insights. Let’s connect!
