Embedded Software Engineer β€” Chassis & Active Safety ECU
07/2023 – Present Β· Coimbatore
Application Software Development & System Integration
  • Developed and integrated safety-critical braking ECU (ABS, TCS, EPB, VDC) & ADAS features (AEB, ACC, Lane Keeping Assist) for General Motors platforms in a MISRA-C compliant codebase, achieving zero field escalations for owned modules
  • Improved integration stability by 15% by resolving recurring AUTOSAR and CAN communication issues
  • Automated validation workflows using Jenkins CI pipelines, accelerating issue detection and reducing manual effort by 40%
  • Worked with CARsim to validate vehicle-level behavior and MATLAB/Simulink for model creation and analysis
Debugging & System-Level Analysis
  • Diagnosed complex ECU failures using CANoe, CANalyzer, UDS β€” resolving issues related to timing, memory, and communication failures
  • Debugged vehicle-level issues including CAN message loss and ECU non-responsiveness, improving system reliability across test environments
  • Reduced system defects through proactive validation across SIL, HIL, and vehicle testing
Workflow Automation & Gen AI Adoption
  • Leveraged Generative AI tools to streamline debugging, log analysis, and documentation β€” reducing time spent on repetitive engineering tasks by 30%
  • Built AI-assisted workflows for faster issue triaging and root cause identification in ECU logs and CAN traces
  • Improved team productivity by enabling quicker access to debug insights, code explanations, and test scenario generation
OEM Collaboration & Requirements Engineering
  • Worked directly with General Motors engineering teams, translating OEM requirements into system-level and software-level designs
  • Managed requirements using IBM DOORS, ensuring ASPICE compliance and 100% traceability
Cross-Functional Leadership & Delivery
  • Acted as SPOC for application software queries, coordinating across global teams and Tier-1 suppliers (ZF, Brembo, Mobis, Mando)
  • Led EPB integration, ensuring seamless multi-supplier system interaction for various projects
  • Delivered complete V-model lifecycle ownership β€” requirements, design, development, testing, and validation
