Embedded Software Engineer | Crafting Firmware Solutions for EVs, Semiconductors & UAVs
About
Lead Firmware Engineer with 5 years of experience building scalable, reliable embedded systems — with cross-domain expertise in EVs, semiconductor platforms, and UAVs, and collaborating closely with hardware, validation, and product teams. I hold a Master of Engineering degree in Microelectronics from BITS Pilani and a Bachelor's in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Punjabi University, Patiala. Driven by curiosity about how systems function at their core, I developed a keen interest in embedded system design, computer architecture, and low-level software development, particularly for systems that must operate efficiently within resource-constrained, hardware-integrated environments. I began my career as a Project Engineer in an aerospace and defense startup, where I contributed to the development of avionics for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). This gave me early exposure to high-stakes, mission-critical systems. I then moved into the semiconductor industry as an Embedded Software Developer, working on SDK development, unit testing, and functional validation of embedded platforms. Most recently, I worked as a Lead Firmware Engineer in the electric vehicle (EV) domain, contributing to driver development for motor control unit and building IoT-based telematics solution.
Work experience
Lead Engineer - Firmware at River, May 2023 - Jan 2025 · 1 yr 9 mos, Bengaluru, Karnataka, India
Software Engineer at onsemi, Aug 2020 - Apr 2023 · 2 yrs 9 mos
Project Engineer - Avionics at NewSpace Research and Technologies, Oct 2019 - Jul 2020 · 10 mos
Systems Intern at Texas Instruments, Jan 2019 - Jun 2019 · 6 mos, Bangalore, This internship provided me with an opportunity to identify and solve engineering challenges that make an impact and boost growth in customer’s business. I worked with industrial AC/DC power supplies, specifically on Resonant controllers. My responsibilities included: • Redesigning a 24V, 500W industrial AC/DC power supply to provide 720W,48 V DC with efficiency >97% and developing the schematic for the same in Altium • Conducting tests to benchmark Bluestone EA with the end goal to improve the existing design with new generation LLC controllers • Rootcausing the design at light load efficiencies
