Developing C/C++ motion control software and AI automation tooling for the Snapdragon Ride Pilot platform within BMW's Orion autonomous driving program. Building SIL/HIL test case generation pipelines using LLMs, and contributing to VMC steering-angle control software. Working with MATLAB/Python for validation. ISO 26262 and ASIL-aware development throughout.

Master's thesis (graded 1.0). Designed a CUDA-based FMCW MIMO radar raw-signal synthesizer achieving 42x speed-up over CPU baseline (14 min → 20 sec). Integrated into IPG CarMaker via RSI GPU interface. Built Python validation pipeline for FFT, Doppler, and phase continuity checks. Collaborated with radar perception, RF, and simulation teams.

Hardware research on Ascend/HiSilicon platforms covering high-speed SerDes interconnects, optical I/O beyond 1.6 Tbps, and CPO/MRM architecture studies. Implemented C/C++ RAS fault-isolation logic for server platforms. Collaborated with Fraunhofer IZM on Glass PCB multilayer integration. MATLAB thermal modeling for OCP cooling benchmarks.

Embedded control validation across Daimler, Stellantis, JLR, Honda, and TATA platforms using CANoe and IPG CarMaker. C++ software validation, ECU firmware flashing, and diagnostics for steering and braking ADAS features. Built LabCar test benches with custom wiring harnesses. Ran Charcon unit tests and waveform analysis.
