WORK EXPERIENCE:

Algorithm developer for radar systems - Autoliv Inc, Lowell, MA. (July ‘10 to April ‘11)

• Job duties included Design, Development, Implementation and Testing of Radars for Safety applications in Automobiles.

• Worked on BOSE. BOSE is short range radar used for Angle detection and Acceleration control for parallel parking in vehicle. The hardware consisted of Accelerometers ADXL312 and ADXL204 from analog devices, Microcontroller Piccolo 28035 and a power chip. The data was collected and sampled through CAN.

• Worked on ARC1. ARC1 is short range radar. The microcontroller piccolo 28033 controls all the Circuitry. There is a transmitter chip that generates the PWM signal which is fed to the Antenna and a receiver chip. The data is sampled and sent out through CAN. It is used in Automobile to help in parallel parking of Vehicles and Blind spot detection.

• Testing of transmitter and receiver chips manufactured by Autoliv.

• Study and testing of optical sensor for parallel parking.

Associate Network Engineer - Tata Communications Ltd, Mumbai, India (July ‘08 to Nov ’08)
