Automotive systems engineer at ZF Technology Centre India developing Steer-by-Wire requirements and safety mechanisms.

Message

At ZF Technology Centre India, where I work through CYIENT PVT. LTD., I own Steering features for a Steer-by-Wire system. I derive software requirements, design component-level state machines, and manage vehicle degradation requirements for safe transitions between operating modes.

At VALEO INDIA PVT. LTD., I owned ADAS functions and developed requirements and state machines for camera-based systems. I also designed parking visualizations and HMI overlays for Surround View System/360Vue® System.

For fish-eye camera calibration at VALEO INDIA PVT. LTD., I worked on intrinsic calibration and distortion correction, and evaluated end-of-line driving-camera samples. That work reduced calibration failure fallout from 60% to 5%.

My earlier work includes designing racing simulator components at Simulator Racing Development and assisting with die design and ABAQUS stress analysis at Indira Gandhi Centre for Atomic Research. I’ve also contributed to automotive component design updates at INFAC India Pvt. Ltd.
