Embedded Software / Firmware Engineer

Contributed to automotive ECU firmware for EV powertrain and battery systems on ARM Cortex-M and Infineon/NXP platforms, supporting CAN, LIN, SPI, I2C, and UART communication. Helped re-architect AUTOSAR-based modular software with C/C++ and FreeRTOS, enabling secure OTA updates, MISRA C compliance, and CI pipelines with Git and Jenkins — achieving 20% faster releases. Supported EV inverter and battery control validation with MATLAB/Simulink. Debugged ECU communication using CANoe, CANalyzer, CANape, ETAS INCA, JTAG, and logic analyzers, reducing firmware defects by 23%. Contributed to UDS (ISO 14229) and OBD-II diagnostics, improving early fault detection accuracy by 33%. Collaborated with cross-functional teams under ASPICE and ISO 26262, improving real-time system response by 17% in production.
