Project: ADAS Failsafe & Diagnostic Application software(UDS)[2018.02 - Till Date]

Failsafe logic detects the various failure modes (battery voltage failures, CAN communication failures, HW/SW failures) which have effect on the system safety and transit to the safe state(Ex. Disable the related functions) within the fault tolerant time.

Diagnostics help us in identifying and troubleshooting the failures relatively easier. when any one of the ECUs in the car detects a fault, two things happen. Firstly, a warning light is set on the dashboard, in order to inform the person driving the car that a problem exists. secondly, the code is recorded in the ECU's EEPROM and it can be later retrieved by the technician for further diagnosis and repair.

Roles & Responsibilities:

• Experienced in Model Based Development for Failsafe Logic for ADAS Functionalities such as SCC/FCA, DBW, RADAR, ADAS VP, MFC etc...
• Hands on experience of working with Davinci developer to configure Application and Service Software Components.
• Performed Static Analysis of Autosar and Non-Autosar Code of Failsafe Applications
• SW Build and Integration using Tasking and Green hills Compiler.
• Development of Automation tools using M-scripting.
• Generation of C code from MATLAB and flashable file for ADAS Failsafe Applications.
• Application Functional Testing using Vector CANOE.
• Diagnostic Testing and Code development according to UDS Specification for SCC Application Variants.
• SW Debugging using Trace 32 for Failsafe Application SW.
• Good Understanding of DEM, DCM Modules.
• Performed design documentation SRS, SUDS & SADS for functional safety analysis.
• Performed Functional safety analysis (FMEA, FTA and DFA) for Front radar failsafe logic.

Project: ADAS System Team - Product evaluation[2021.10 - Till Date]

ADAS or Advanced Driver Assistance System is designed to assist a driver in the processing of driving, making the experience safe, comfortable and simpler.

ADAS System Team is responsible for ADAS functions improvement and product evaluation.

Roles & Responsibilities:

• Participated in vehicle testing of ADAS product evaluation for mass production.
• Performed Data Logging to check the performance of ADAS functionalities.
• Participated in Endurance test to identify the ADAS feature issues.
• Performed ADAS functionality benchmarking with other competitors.
• Good understanding of Sensor calibration concept(Radar EOL, Front camera Calibration)

Project: Smart Parking Assist System - SPAS[2015.10 - 2018.02]

Smart Parking Assist System is an application which assists the driver in finding the right parking slot and assisting the driver in parking the vehicle in the identified parking slot. It detects the parking slot after taking input from the driver and after detecting the slot, it calculates the maneuvers to be taken for parking the vehicle in the identified slot. Interaction with the driver is done through Human Machine Interface and instructions such as warnings, alarms and gear change requests are sent to the driver through HMI.

Roles & Responsibilities:

• Model based development compliance to MISRA C guidelines and AUTOSAR architecture.
• Developed SPAS features such as Vehicle Position Estimator, SPAS system Handler, Parking slot detection and Parallel Perpendicular path control software components.
• Performed design documentation SRS, SADS & SUDS.
• Technical support and trainings to the team.
• Involving in design and functional reviews.
• performed static code analysis and worked on fixing of RTE & MISR C 2012 violations.
• Performing MIL, SIL testing.

• Awarded with Best IDP Trainer award in year 2020.
• Received Stellar Award for outstanding performance in organization level.
• Received star performer award multiple time in group level.
• Traveled to headquarter multiple times to support project activities.
