 Embedded System Co-Design Expertise: Skilled in co-design and development of embedded hardware and firmware for mission-critical military (DO-178C, MIL-STD), aerospace and medical (IEC 60601) systems.

Adept at aligning software architecture, signal integrity constraints, and hardware limitations to achieve deter-

ministic real-time performance.

 Technology Transfer & Collaboration: Extensive experience working with international defense manufac-

turers to adapt foreign systems for indigenous military platforms. Collaborated with multi-site teams globally to deliver production-ready embedded firmware & hardware to solve customer-critical issues.

 Engineering Leadership: Managed and led cross-functional teams in the design and development of defense-grade electronic systems. Successfully executed large-scale projects with up to 25 engineers across multiple departments, adhering to rigorous standards such as DO-254, IEC 61508,IEC 60601 for Embedded hardware design & ISO/IEC 12207,DO-178C, IEC 61508,CMMI-3,ISO 26262 level for Embedded firmware design. IEC 62061 for both firmware & hardware.

Led architecture definition and module-level firmware design for embedded platforms. Conducted systematic design reviews, code audits, and implementation validations ensuring adherence to MISRA-C 2023 standards. Performed deep-dive debugging of complex real-time em-

bedded systems using JTAG/SWD probe, logic analyzers, and protocol analyzers. Optimized firmware through instruction-level profiling, cycle count reduction, memory access optimization, and cache utilization analysis.

 System Modernization & Obsolescence Management: Specialized in reverse engineering legacy defense systems, modernizing outdated electronics, and performing up to long-term 15 year obsolescence manage-

ment. Integrated modern technologies into aging military platforms without functional regression.

 Engineering Management: Delivered multi-phase engineering programs meeting military functional safety

Class A/B and MIL-STD-882E requirements. Experienced with naval, aerospace, and air-defense systems with collaboration links to global OEMs such as Saab (Sweden) and ThyssenKrupp (Germany).

 Global Defense Expertise: In-depth knowledge of military-grade systems for air defense, naval, and aerospace applications. Strong relationships in collaboration with global defense manufacturers such as

ThyssenKrupp (Germany) and Saab (Sweden).

 Cost Optimization: Achieved up to 30% reduction in R&D expenditures through architectural consolidation,

optimized component selection, and standardized design processes without compromising mission-critical performance.

 New Product Development (NPD) & CI/CD Integration: Contributed to end-to-end NPD activities including architectural feasibility, risk assessment, system bring-up strategies, and transition from prototype to produc-

tion. Maintained CI/CD pipelines for automated builds, static analysis, regression testing, versioned releases,

and hardware-in-loop validation to ensure high reliability and traceability throughout the product lifecycle.
