Azhar Ali Khan

Senior Specialist Engineer R&D working on embedded firmware and mechatronic system design for next-generation smart appliances, with a focus on energy efficiency and intelligent control. Implemented Model Predictive Control (MPC) algorithms for air conditioner compressors to optimize energy consumption. Designed mechatronic system architectures for Smart Air Conditioners. Developed occupancy-based smart control for AC systems. Built communication between mechatronic modules and device-to-cloud interfaces.

Software Engineer developing banking middleware and ATM Controller software in C++, focused on performance, reliability, and secure transaction processing. Worked with SQL and Oracle databases for secure data storage. Integrated POS functionality with strong encryption, and implemented TLS/SSL API connections for secure third-party integrations. Integrated Hardware Security Modules for cryptographic key management. Diagnosed and fixed a major TCP disconnection issue causing transaction delivery failures.

Embedded Systems Engineer developing IoT and connected device solutions. Designed and programmed ESP32-based systems with BLE connectivity for GPS tracking applications. Implemented device provisioning and cloud connectivity using MQTT and AWS IoT. Worked across the hardware-software stack, including compact PCB design and embedded firmware, delivering a GPS tracker redesign that reduced board size from 20cm² to 12cm². Collaborated on system architecture, protocol integration, hardware-software co-design.

Embedded Design Engineer developing firmware and hardware for IoT devices. Designed and programmed microcontroller-based systems (ESP32, STM32) with real-time communication protocols (I2C, SPI, UART, BLE). Worked across the full stack — PCB design in Altium, firmware development, and hardware-software integration — delivering embedded solutions from prototype to production. Collaborated cross-functionally on system architecture, debugging, and performance optimization for compact designs.
