  As a Software Specialist, designing solutions as per software architecture for Hydrogen Combustion (H2 IC) Engine related to Gas Supply system in close collaboration with System Engineering. Supported for successful first firing of the H2 ICE engines @ Test bench and vehicles.With Data Analysis and Machine Learning skills, filed patents for the ideas related to Predictive Maintenance for Hydrogen & Diesel IC Engines using Machine Learning techniques.Working on connected vehicles related solutions for H2 & Diesel IC engines for commercial vehicles.Tools : Microsoft Visual Studio Code. Show less As a Software Specialist, SPOC for Asian customers, responsible for gathering requirements fromSystem teams & OEMs, and coordinating tasks internally with juniors to complete and deliver in the committed timeline in the areas of Diesel Fuel and Injection system and After-market Service Diagnosis.Supporting OEMs in calibration and field issues during production or On-road failures. Debugging software to identify the root cause, fixing the issues in software or calibrations.Working with cross functional teams for handling new requirements, validations, calibrations and field issues.As a Data Analyst & ML Engineer, provided solutions in the area of Predictive Diagnosis for Diesel fuel components using Machine Learning techniques.Preprocessing : Fill missing insights, remove outliers using Pandas.Visualization : Plot into various graphical representation using Matplotlib and Plotly.Data Analysis and Exploration : Analyze insights and find solutions for any specific problem oridentify existing pain areas.Modeling : If solving in conventional method becomes complex, trying to solve using Machine learning techniques with Keras and SciKit.Deployment : Port the offline trained models into Automotive ECUs to make it more intelligent than the conventional software such as Predictive diagnosis or maintenance.Work Methodology : Planning the user stories, presenting POCs and converting to deployment ready solutions with SAFe Agile.Quality : Requirement gathering and documenting, designing, functional documentation, coding, testing and quality check of all software deliverables with OSS compliance, QG checks. Version maintenance of all artifacts using Git.Tools : JIIRA, Confluence, Microsoft Visual Studio Code, Anaconda IDE, Jupyter, Spyder, and Git. Show less As a Senior Software Engineer, involved in understanding requirements from Architects and responsible for coordinating tasks with Juniors, supporting them in technical aspects, guiding them throughout the process, in the areas of Diesel Fuel and Injection Systems and After-market Service Diagnosis.Validating the software in Hardware-in-Loop systems such as Lab, Test-bench and Vehicles as well as using Software-in-Loop. Debugging software and identifying root cause for the issues observed during validation phase and from cross functional teams and providing suitable solutions as a fix.Work experience in Germany in close collaboration with German counterparts and OEMs.Preparing for internal and external ASPICE audits to ensure the SW development process is in compliance.Work-flow : Gathering requirements and designing the solution independently according to the software architecture. Handling entire software development life cycle including Requirement elicitation and documentation, Designing, Coding, Unit and System validation and Integration and reviews in all phases of tasks, all with compliance to ASPICE.Quality Management : Experience in playing Quality Analyst role for a project checking for Resource planning, Quality of SW deliverables through Pre-Delivery Checks and monthly audits with processes and tools used.Tools worked with : IBM Rational RequestOne, IBM Rational DOORS, Microsoft Visual Studio Code, ETAS ASCET, Inkscape, eASEE SCM, ETAS INCA, CANalyzer, TPT, PROMISE, PROVISOR. Show less As a Software Engineer, I began by learning the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) using the V-model process to complete tasks in the areas of Diesel Fuel and Injection Systems and After-market Service Diagnosis.I gained knowledge of Diesel Fuel and Injection systems and obtained exposure to test bench and vehicle validations through hands-on learning. This included understanding existing software requirements and simulating alternate scenarios to better grasp how the system operates.The work experience on After-market Service Diagnosis gave me a mindset for diagnosis of sensors and actuators and as a system combined together which helped me to think in the direction of Predictive Diagnosis.Debugging software and identifying root cause for the issues reported by cross functional teams. Suggesting suitable solutions, based on the knowledge and experience from learning from software documents and vehicle simulations.Work-flow : Gathering requirements from Seniors and designing the solution according to the software architecture. Handling entire software development life cycle including Requirement elicitation and documentation, Designing, Coding, Unit and System validation and Integration, all with compliance to ASPICE.Tools worked with : IBM Rational RequestOne, IBM Rational DOORS, Microsoft Visual Studio, ETAS ASCET, Inkscape, eASEE SCM, ETAS INCA, CANalyzer, TPT.
