What I'm looking for

I’m looking to own ADAS control feature development and integration for Level 2+ systems, collaborating in Agile teams, and strengthening robustness through MIL/SIL and HIL testing using AUTOSAR and MBD workflows.

I’m an Automotive Software Engineer with 5+ years of experience in ADAS Algorithm Development and Testing, delivering Level 2 features through a strong understanding of SDLC, Agile methodology, and ASPICE levels. I’ve owned and integrated application layer components for complex L1/L2+ ADAS architectures across global OEM projects.

I lead requirement gathering, software design, and deployment for sensor fusion, tracking, and machine control logic, including localized control for automated parking assistance with multi-device sensor configurations. I also drive end-to-end Classic AUTOSAR integration and resolve time-sensitive issues using Trace32 and dSPACE during HIL troubleshooting.
