Udaykiran V

Highly accomplished Senior Embedded Software Engineer with 4 years of experience specializing in the design, development, and integration of high-reliability embedded systems for the Defense, Aerospace, and Industrial sectors.

Expertise spans the full software lifecycle, from board bring-up and low-level driver development (on TI MCUs, processors, and Microchip PIC32) to deploying complex, mission-critical applications.

• Embedded Linux & Build Systems: Proficient in developing and maintaining custom Embedded Linux distributions using the Yocto Project, and deep experience with GStreamer for multimedia streaming solutions (H.264/H.265).
• Mission-Critical Applications: Led the software for the Instrumentation Data Acquisition System (IDAS), including the development of a core application for torpedo operational parameter recovery.
• Validation and Compliance: Proven ability to ensure product readiness and compliance by authoring and executing rigorous Acceptance Test Procedures (ATP).
• Protocols and Hardware: Strong command over critical communication protocols, including MIL-STD-1553B, Ethernet (TCP/IP), SPI, I2C, and UART.
• Debugging and Testing: Skilled in advanced hardware-software validation using specialized tools like logic analyzers, oscilloscopes, and hardware debuggers.
• Led the design and development of embedded systems, enhancing product functionality and reliability through innovative solutions.
• Collaborated with cross-functional teams to integrate software and hardware components, optimizing performance and reducing time-to-market.
• Developed and implemented testing protocols for embedded systems, ensuring compliance with industry standards and improving quality assurance processes.
• Mentored junior engineers in embedded system design principles and best practices, fostering a culture of continuous improvement and knowledge sharing.

Developed and implemented automated firmware testing scripts for low-level peripheral interfaces (SPI, I2C, UART), significantly reducing regression defects, and improving software reliability.

Collaborated directly with hardware and design teams to refine low-level project specifications, ensuring embedded software met critical timing and power requirements.
