Work History

Embedded Software Engineer

Knorr-Bremse India
09.2022 - Current
  • Brake System Integration & testing: Analyzed and worked on the brake system within the V-cycle development process. Interpreted and utilized design documents to understand system requirements. Created detailed test cases in PTC Integrity. Implemented and tested brake system functionality using dSpace tools on both system SIL (VEOS) and HIL (Scalaxio), ensuring successful integration of functionalities.
  • Verification and Automation: Automated all the test cases in AutomationDesk. Performed verification in ControlDesk and ModelDesk. Debugged issues with CAN-logger/measurement (.mf4) in ControlDesk and logged defect items in PTC and discussed/reviewed that DI with developer and test manager. Worked on fundamental testing and functional safety level features ABS, ATC, and ESP, as well as observer functions like BFO (Brake force observer) and ESPO (Electronic stability program observer)
  • EV Charging System Validation: Contributed to charging function validation by analysing EVSE-ECU interactions. Validated charging fault handling logic by injecting faults (undervoltage, ground) in SIL and verifying diagnostic response and DTC activation. Simulated EV charging message sequences and state transitions.
  • Python-based Automation Tool Development: Collaborated with cross-functional teams to address challenges and blockers. Perform CAN-interface testing based on CAN mapping inputs and CANdb++. Designed a Python-based tool in AutomationDesk to test CAN-RTE mapping, improving testing efficiency by 45%. Extracted information from Excel sheets, ran 200+ messages through dSpace tools, validate output data with .dbc files, and generate reports.
  • Scenario & Test Road Creation: Created 5+ scenarios in modeldesk to reduce manual effort by 30% to work for testing the ATC feature and experience-based test cases. Tested those on HIL system using CANape and Scalaxio.
  • MATLAB Model Analysis: Analyzed the Matlab model backend of the Modeldesk (HIL Plant model) project and tuned some parameters by creating aliases. Used the same alias in Automationdesk to control the parameter values. Implemented vehicle test in SIL by thoroughly understanding the m-script files.
  • Diagnostic Routine Testing & Automation: Implemented diagnostics I/O and routines in SIL environment using dSpace tools. Created 10+ custom automation blocks for read and write routines and checking diag. response from the KBdiag tool, and verdicts were provided based on the conditions of the diagnostic routines. Also created script for DTC injection on fault table to verify DTC codes. This automation reduced the time required for executing routines individually and improved variant handling efficiency by 40%.

System Engineer

Tata Consultancy Services
01.2019 - 09.2022
  • Project Name: Nissan Motors : July 2020 – September 2022
  • Test Case Design & Auto Code Generation: Designed and implemented test cases to ensure complete coverage of system requirements, enhancing overall test coverage. Utilized Embedded Coder for automatic code generation and conducted SIL testing on the Brake Auto Hold (BAH) model, improving system reliability and performance.
  • HIL & Model-Based Testing for ADAS features: Testing on LDW (Lane departure warning) and ACC using tools (CANoe, VT system) to validate hardware performance. Conducted SIL testing using MATLAB Simulink for early-stage validation and system modelling, tested functional testing of unit-plant level model of vehicle.
  • Model Optimization & Parameter Tuning: Optimized MATLAB models, designed test models for Reactis following MAAB guidelines, and tuned parameters using backtracking. Finding tunable parameters in MATLAB model, designing test models, and analysing the CAN messages in CANoe for finding input ranges of unit test models. Verified and reviewed test models and specification documents, including tasks on Conventional & HEV, and analysed unit-level models.
  • Project Name: Renault : May 2019 - June 2020
  • Design Documentation: Created high-level design documentation to describe the functionality of models and low-level design for system components and specifications, ensuring clarity and more understandability. Updated models based on system specifications.
  • Comprehensive Testing: Performed dynamic and static testing (MCDC coverage, ECP-BVA, test vector generation), regression testing on vehicle models. Created test vectors, conducted gap analysis, and generated summary reports to ensure alignment between different versions. Actively participated in the Software Testing Life Cycle (STLC), Verification & Validation (V&V), and Bug Life Cycle. Collaborated effectively with model implementation, code implementation, and validation teams
