• Embedded Design EngineerFreelance consultantNov 2010 – Present (11 yrs 3 mos)

I provide consultancy as embedded system designer and developer. One of my major clients was a French company (OpenWays) that develops access control systems. I developed audio signal processing (also some telecommunication) algorithms (modulation of digital data on audio frequencies to be sent as an audio key to the e-lock) through mobile phone. The development was on an ARM based processor. That work also included NFC development on embedded board and android operating system.

• End to End Verification EngineerVolvo GroupJan 2018 – Jul 2019 (1 yr 7 mos)

Testing and verification of at end to end level (V4/V5 level in model testing), of the features and functions supported by telematic gatway ECU. Manual testing and development of automated tests and testing framework. Programming languages and tools: Jira, Python, SYMPATHY for data, SystemWeaver, CANOe, CANLyser.

• Software Developer with focus on VarificationVolvo TrucksMay 2017 – Dec 2017 (8 mos)

Development of features for telematic gateway. Worked in one of many cross functional teams, where my team focused on basic connectivity configuration and connectivity functionality. Programming languages and tools: C++, Eclipse, Embedded Linux/Yocto, SystemWeaver, Jira, Robot Framework, Python.

• Testing, performance analysis/simulations and requirement specifications.

• Technology transfer activities.

• Project time plan estimation inputs.

• Field support.

• Pre-sale technical discussions.

• Documentation.

• Audio and telecommunications signal processing, algorithms.

• Research studentPhilipsApr 2009 – Apr 2010 (1 yr 1 mo)

I was employed by Philips research in the department of signal processing (acoustics and audio signal processing), as research student. The competence and experience/skills I acquired from this job include, pattern recognition, data modelling, classification (environmental sound), feature extraction/selection, soft computing, and machine learning.
