What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior embedded/QA role focusing on board bring-up, kernel/bootloader validation, test automation, and cross-functional collaboration in a hands-on engineering team.

I am an Embedded Systems and QA Engineer with over eight years of experience in low-level software development, board bring-up, and embedded system validation. I specialize in Linux kernel and bootloader customization, diagnostics, post-silicon bring-up, and developing test plans for SoC platforms.

I have led board bring-up and functional testing projects on platforms such as OMAP3530 and AM335x, optimized boot performance, and implemented protocol stack validation (BACnet/MQTT/CAN). I routinely use GDB, JTAG, Valgrind and scripting (Shell, Python) to automate tests and debug complex embedded issues.

I deliver reliable embedded products by combining hands-on firmware development, driver validation, and structured QA processes—writing test cases, executing regression cycles, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to reproduce and resolve kernel and hardware integration issues.
