Pierluigi Porreca

I've delivered control software for Jaguar Land Rover high-voltage systems and Garrett Motion technologies, translating complex requirements into robust MATLAB/Simulink models.

At Kineton, I develop HV supervisory-control and battery-management features, model L5 requirements in SysML2, maintain traceability in TRM, and validate software through MiL and SiL testing. I also act as a Feature Owner and Software Component Architect, virtualizing ECUs with Synopsys tools.

I led the control architecture, mathematical modelling, and testing for a four-stage centrifugal industrial air compressor, covering thermodynamics, compressor maps, surge protection, dSpace MABX prototyping, PLC generation, and hardware debugging.

I've also developed EV cooling controls, NOx sensor and MPC models, and a camera-based forward-collision warning system using CNN object detection and Extended Kalman Filter tracking. I'm motivated by turning challenging physical-system behaviour into validated control strategies.
