Staff Engineer at Stellantis architecting SDV systems and OTA updates for connected vehicles.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
At Stellantis, I architect the Remote Operations, Vehicle Networks, SOME/IP services, Connected Apps, and Application Framework domains of the SDV stack. I also architected an OTA/FOTA orchestration framework for TCUs with update sequencing, failure recovery, and rollback.
I built a CAN-to-MQTT-to-AWS IoT Core telemetry pipeline for vehicle diagnostics and defined architecture reused across vehicle programs. I guide engineers across four countries, and the sprint success rate rose from 50ā60% to 80ā85%.
At Bosch, I led the architecture and development of an OTA update system for connected vehicles on two OEM platforms. At HARMAN International and KaiOS Technologies, I designed OTA and FOTA software for automotive TCUs and low-memory feature phones.
In my SDV Edge Gateway project, I connected vehicle CAN data to cloud telemetry and on-device anomaly detection, with cloud commands and OTA updates flowing back with verification and rollback. I also built a PyTorch-to-ONNX-to-TensorRT benchmarking toolchain and am an inventor on a published patent application for updating electronic control units in low-power or sleep states.
