What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior embedded role as a Team Lead, Product Specialist, Code Auditor, or Compliance Specialist—owning safety standards (IEC 61508-3 SIL3, EN 50271:2018), code quality governance, and traceable verification in agile teams.

I’m a Senior Embedded Systems Engineer with 8+ years of experience in firmware development, hardware-software integration, and owning code quality for safety-critical embedded systems. I work as a technical consultant to refine client requirements—closing gaps before they turn into compliance or verification issues.

I take responsibility for functional safety and standards compliance under IEC 61508-3 Edition 2.0 (SIL3) and EN 50271:2018, using Cantata for dynamic code verification. I design boundary-condition and payload verification, build fault-injection analysis for self-healing mechanisms, and enforce requirements-to-code traceability through Cantata and Jama integration.

I also lead multidisciplinary engineering teams (up to 10 members) across full product life cycles in agile environments. Whether it’s code review, regression verification, or issue tracking in Jira and Jama, I bring disciplined engineering, technical mentoring, and a strong compliance-first mindset.
