Consultant System Architect / Lead HW Engineer / Integration & Validation Manager

• Reviewed and improved the electrical system architecture and documentation of the eSystem (BMS, HMI, motor, motor controller, torque sensor, and electronic lock) of the Dance eBike.
• Conducted root cause analysis and corrective actions (RCA & RCCA) for eSystem failures of the eBike.
• Developed an eSystem test bench and electronics lab for quality control of eSystem components, validation of RCA & RCCA, and further in-house hardware development and characterization.
• Documented and presented results, transferring knowledge to the HW team for progression.

• Reviewed HW architecture, design, and firmware of an automotive LIDAR camera developed using laser scanners and SPAD arrays from Elmos Semiconductor.
• Developed a concept for validating LIDAR camera performance.
• Documented, presented results, and transferred knowledge to the HW team for further progression.

• Developed reference sensor systems for validation of front camera and LIDAR-based advanced driver assistance systems for BMW vehicles using high-resolution and long-range automotive LIDARs (Velodyne, Luminar, Innoviz, and Hesaitech), Cameras (Mobileye, Teledyne, and Axis), RADARs (Continental), INS/GNSS (OXTS and NovAtel), Time Master (Orolia), and Data Logger (x2e).
• Planned and executed setups from requirements to proof of concept including RFIs, RFQs, and RFPs as well as negotiating NDAs with suppliers, training staff, presenting results, and gaining stakeholder approval.
• Achieved 1.45 million EUR in savings with design improvements and appropriate sensor choices.
• Defined debug data interfaces (CAN-FD, SPI, I2C, UART, PLP) for data collection and HIL reprocessing for camera and LIDAR-based DUTs for BMW vehicles.
• Designed an echo handler circuit to minimize echoes in conference calls.
• Documented and presented results to internal and external stakeholders.
