What I'm looking for

I seek embedded/firmware roles in automotive or industrial automation where I can lead technical solutions, work on diagnostics and communication stacks, and grow in system-level design and team leadership.

I am an embedded systems engineer with experience across international automotive ASPICE projects, specializing in diagnostics (UDS), CAN and LIN communication buses, and baremetal firmware development in C and assembler for NXP, Microchip, ST and Renesas platforms. I have held roles as Embedded Software Developer, Software Team Lead and Software Requirement Engineer, delivering technical requirements, task management and customer technical support.

I hold a degree in Industrial Electronic and Automation Engineering from Universidad de Vigo, with strengths in PLCs, robotics, industrial networks and IoT/SCADA integration. I combine low-level programming skills (C, assembler, microcontrollers) with leadership and project management experience, and I seek roles where I can drive embedded software excellence within automotive or industrial automation teams.
