About

Senior Embedded Systems Engineer with 6+ years of experience in automotive electronics, E/E systems, and embedded prototyping. At Mercedes-Benz R&D India, I drive requirement engineering, compliance validation, and feature ownership (Seat Belt Reminder, Wireless Phone Chargers, Multimedia Boxes) while collaborating with global teams and suppliers to ensure ASPICE-aligned delivery. At Bosch, I worked on ECU and VCU development for powertrain and BEV thermal systems, gaining strong hands-on expertise in embedded C/C++, FreeRTOS, CAN/LIN communication, HiL testing, and system integration. Beyond automotive, I’ve built IoT prototypes including a Smart Multi-Socket Power Board with energy monitoring, a QR-based EV charging concept, and a dual-fingerprint authentication system. I’m also an IEEE-published author in embedded IoT and automotive system design. 💡 Core Strengths: - Embedded Systems & Firmware (C, C++, FreeRTOS, Python) - Automotive ECU/VCU Development (ASPICE, CAN, LIN, HIL) - System Engineering (Requirement Analysis, FMEA, Compliance Validation) - IoT Prototyping (ESP32, Raspberry Pi, PCB design, cloud integration) - Cross-functional collaboration with suppliers & global teams Currently open to opportunities in Automotive Embedded Systems, E/E System Engineering, and IoT/Connected Devices in India and abroad.
