Developed a HiL environment to simulate real-world operating conditions including temperature, pressure, voltage, pumps, and valves Derived test cases from system requirements and established traceability between requirements, tests, and results Developed automated test frameworks using Python and Robot Framework Integrated automated testing into GitLab CI/CD Designed and maintained test environments using Raspberry Pi, MQTT, Modbus, and I²C

Developed embedded firmware in C using ESP-IDF on ESP32 for laboratory automation and firmware validation Implemented pump and flow control based on continuous sensor feedback Integrated MQTT for remote control, monitoring, and communication with the test infrastructure Designed and implemented a low-cost analog signal simulator to emulate sensor and fault signals for reproducible firmware testing Enabled testing without physical sensors, supporting earlier identification of wiring and hardware issues

Thesis: Hardware in the loop test bench for CoreNode Controller for Solid Flow Battery System
