Senior Embedded Software Engineer

10/2021 – 11/2022

The client, a major German Tier I software development company from the automotive sector, Continental AG, encountered a major failure on the BMW project, a failure that is based on the availability of multiple bugs that are a necessity for their software components to run without any leaks.
Being part of the development team and also the team leader for my client team on the BMW smart-key project I was responsible for software design build and bugs from different Autosar locations like memory leaks, diagnostic shutdowns, communication problems on CAN and Ethernet level, and other investigation that were performed using a debugger.

diminished time expended on verification and fixing bugs by up to 45% by understanding the root cause and making clear verification on the debugger level but performing quick code fixes.
diminished time expended on software design by more than 60% by updating the software component with comments for each interface and functionality.
secure bug fixes on classic Autosar by implementing the different solutions for software development team to decrease bug creation and also provide testable code and written bug clarification for the testing team.

Skills: Embedded C, Misra C rules, Classic Autosar architecture/configuration/ documentation and process, i-System debugger, ASPICE, doxygen (SDD), Rhapsody, UDS protocol, CAN, FlexRay, Ethernet, Vector CANoe, DaVinci, Candela, Code Review, Doors, ISO 26262 architecture, Team leading.

The client, a major Tier I supplier, Magna International working on the Audi ADAS Camera System was unable to expand the Customer Function Bridge communication with Basic Software located on the classic Autosar platform, and the adaptive Autosar platform, which was the Camera System (EyeQ), communication that wasn't routed from the SPI driver.
As part of the development team, I was handling the Customer Function bridge implementation for the Basic Software (BSW) router logistics in close connection with Autosar RTE following all the requirements, design, and end-to-end test verification.

secure BSW Autosar Architecture by delivering the first milestone of the Customer Function Bridge (CFB) communication
secure the generation and implementation of the CFB templates to verify the communication between Camera System (EyeQ) and Classic platform via SPI using SomeIP messages.
diminished the time expended on verification and bug fixing by updating the debug methods used for bug verification
setting up Promira HW used for SPI communication and managing the receiving software application for better timings and large SomeIP messages (double row)
help the software integration and qualification team with end-to-end test by building a connection with vector tools (vTest - CANoe - WinIdea) by implementing automation CAPL signal processing and also dll changes.

Skills: Embedded C, Misra C , Classic and Adaptive Autosar architecture/configuration/ documentation and process, i-System and Lautherbach debugger, ASPICE, Enterprise Architect, UDS protocol, CAN, Ethernet, SPI, SomeIP, Vector CANoe, Electrobit tresos, Code Review, Unit testing, Doors, Jira, IMS - integrity, vTest, Requirement verification, Team leading.

The client, a major Tier I supplier, Continental AG was working on the Daimler Seat Control Unit (SCU) and was not able to finish the FuSa module (ISO 26262), a module that required the SW Architecture, SW Design, and component software implementation inside an Classic Autosar architecture
As part of the software team, I handled the functional safety ASIL B requirement creation, based on the product safety goal, following the ASPICE and V-Model methodologies from requirements creation and verification to the software implementation.

establish ISO26262 (FuSa module) requirements creation and validation in great timing according to the automotive industry standards.
implement, integrate and test the safety mechanism for the Seat Control Unit according to safety goals.
create and maintain the functional safety documentation based on ISO26262
implement a decomposition mechanism for the QM module to gain control at the motor axle level.
complete all the Functional Safety module implementation, design, and architecture in 8 months by performing everything according to the corporation standards.
perform HW (motors, test points, debug ports) measurements using an oscilloscope to be more precisely according to ISO26262


The client, Continental AG from Germany is starting a new Audi Seat Control Unit (SCU) project that needs a completely new architecture based on the Classic Autosar and also the implementation of the Functional Safety mechanism.
Starting with an additional role, as a Technical Team Leader, I handled the Autosar integration within the project in the first phase and begin the second phase by starting diagnostic, NVM, and Functional safety modules development.

integrate all the modules inside Elektrobit tresos used for autosar architecture.
refactor all component requirements and validate them quickly for SW component implementation.
implement and generate (using Elektrobit) the Diagnostic module and establish the CAN and Ethernet communication.
promptly implement all the UDS protocols available on Audi SCU requirements.
creation, validation, and implementation of requirements with ASIL B safety level
finding and fixing software application and BSW bugs from autosar architecture managing to reduce the time by 40%
provide software technical team leading support and maintain good collaboration with the teammates

Skills: Embedded C, Misra C ,ISO26262 , Classic Autosar 4.2 architecture/configuration/ documentation and process, i-System debugger, WinIdea, ASPICE, Rhapsody for SWA/SDD, UDS protocol, CAN, Ethernet, Vector CANoe, CANdela, Electrobit tresos, DaVinci, Code Review, Unit testing (SWATT), Doors, Jira, IMS - integrity, Visio, Atom, Requirement verification, AIL B requirement creation/validation ,Team leading.

7/2016 – 5/2018

CS Romania, directly involved with one Tier I client for aerospace and defense supplier, THALES, was extending the Software Integration Testing team for a 6-month project duration.
As part of the Software Integration Testing(ASA - Application Software Algorithm) for functional verification and validation of the Next Generation Product Family airplane engines (PW814G, PW1100, PW1200, PW1500, PW1900 engines) I was handling the design, writing and execution test cases to validate the robustness and to cover system requirements.

verification of all software level requirements under DO-178B standard, using both bench testing and evaluation bench
perform design, test scenarios and process review under the corporation standards

After 6-month my client was changed, to ESA - European Space Agency, and also the current position being able to work at SNAP (Sentinel Application Platform) architecture, architecture that was ideal for Earth Observation processing and analysis.
Being part of the development team I was handling the satellite platform integration in our application and also I was working with XML metadata parsing, packages such as java.io, java.nio and image processing.

successfully integrate the satellite observation in our ESA application
manage to extract large quantities of data from satellite image processing using XML parsing
