Magneti Marelli Mar 2012 – Dec 2012

Specialist Engineer Jr.

• Designed, implemented and integrated Embedded SW for Instrument Panel Clusters for hybrid electric

vehicles

• Model based designing using Matlab Stateflow and Altia Design and auto generate C code

• Testing and validation of the customer requirements in the framework of embedded systems

Michigan Technological University Jan 2011 – Mar 2012

Teaching Assistant - Department of Electrical Engineering,

• Presented short lectures on basic electrical concepts and conduct office hours

• Graded HWs and exams for ‘Electric Circuits’, ‘Probability & Signal Analysis’ and ‘Electro Magnetics’ course

• Prepared lab sessions and setup ‘Robotics and Mechatronics’ undergraduate level lab

Academic Projects:

• Developed an embedded control system for hybrid vehicle system using MATLAB Stateflow model-based system

design approach.

• Implemented the I-GUIDE using path planning algorithms with obstacle avoidance along with unique landmark

detections.

• Designed a sensor circuit for a 4WD line mapping robot using MSP430 microcontroller.

• Designed a Vehicle Control System and conducted feasibility study. The unreliability of the subsystems was

calculated using Stochastic Petri Net Package and tested using Generalized Stochastic Petri Nets.

• Designed a security system with a temperature sensor circuit to detect fire, wall breakers to detect intrusion, and a

pair of IR emitter and detector to check for theft. All the sensor outputs are given to the 8051 microcontroller

which is programmed to automatically dial a mobile in case of an emergency.

• Designed a Zigbee based self-healing WSN to switch on/off the appliances at distant places using 8051

microcontroller. Testing and programming of zigbee was done using XCTU.
