Product- Battery monitoring and management system. The Linux based microcontroller board monitors, collects, interprets and stores data from the battery and string-based sensors. It provides permanent and continuous monitoring for stand-by battery installations.

It measures the voltage, impedance, temperature and ripple current. The existing Controller has a capacity of up to 512 batteries. Depending on the measurements, alerts and alarms are sent to the customers.

There are also several GUI desktop apps which help in the monitoring process.

• Testing battery management systems (Firmware, software, cloud and web applications).
• Setting up the hardware and software test harness.
• Creating and maintaining test scripts for automation testing (Python, C# and selenium).
• Understand and review the product requirements, specifications, technical design documents.
• Design and prepare detailed and well-structured test plans, test scenarios/ routines and write test cases based on the requirements.
• Worked closely with product development team to ensure proper communication of test results and simulation of bugs.
• Managed virtual machines for tests and also worked on Linux based systems.
