Work History

Embedded Software Engineer

Starkenn Technologies
07.2023 - Current
  • Contributed to the development and validation of India's first in-house automotive radar sensor system on dual-core ARM processors (Texas Instruments platform) for ADAS applications (AEBS, BSD, LCA), focusing on embedded C/C++ implementation and hardware-software integration.
  • Implemented and optimized radar DSP algorithms , including range/Doppler FFT, CFAR detection, and target tracking, improving object detection accuracy to 98%+ during system-level validation.
  • Collaborated with system architects to design the radar signal processing pipeline for sensor fusion with camera-based systems, supporting a patent-pending adaptive beamforming method.
  • Developed and tested application-layer algorithms for key ADAS functions, such as Forward Collision Warning (FCWS), Autonomous Emergency Braking (AEBS), and Lane Change Assist (LCA), achieving real-time performance on TI automotive SoCs.
  • Performed data-driven validation and calibration using radar datasets and HIL (hardware-in-the-loop) simulation to verify performance under various environmental and vehicle dynamics conditions.
  • Developed and validated embedded device drivers for CAN, I²C, QSPI Flash, and UART on TI automotive radar SoCs, and designed a FOTA-enabled bootloader to support secure over-the-air firmware updates and field reprogramming.
  • Developed Python-based visualization and analysis tools , including point cloud visualizers and free-space/obstacle detection dashboards for lab and on-road validation.
