About

To leverage over 11.5+ years of experience in System Engineering, RF Communications, Flight Telemetry, Satellite Communications, and Train Control & Information Systems to contribute to the design, development, integration, and validation of embedded system products for aerospace, rail, and communication platforms. I aim for a leadership role where I can apply strong expertise in embedded system requirements, hardware- software integration, interface management, firmware validation, and compliance with industry standards. My goal is to deliver innovative, reliable, and safety‑critical embedded solutions that enhance system performance, operational efficiency, and regulatory compliance across complex engineering projects.

1. I specialize in RF communication and onboard embedded systems including Train‑to‑Wayside connectivity, TCMS, PACIS, Passenger Wi‑Fi, Automatic Passenger Counting, and embedded platforms.
2. I translate customer functional and cross‑functional requirements- covering environmental, EMC, fire & safety, electrical/mechanical, acoustics, eco‑design, and surface protection-into clear embedded system requirements.
3. I develop software and hardware specifications in IBM DOORS, define embedded architectures, interfaces, and data flows, and maintain key technical documents such as design specs, ICDs, software requirements, test procedures, and validation reports.
4. I manage interfaces across multiple embedded subsystems and coordinate integration with electrical, electronic, and mechanical Train Design teams. I prepare technical purchase specifications and evaluate suppliers through clause‑by‑clause analysis, BOQ checks, feasibility assessments, and QCD reviews.
5. With hands‑on experience in RTOS and communication protocols- UART/RS232, RS485/422, SPI, I2C, CAN, Modbus, PROFINET, Wi‑Fi (802.11 a/b/g/n/ac/ax/be), MVB, ECN, GSM‑R, TCP/IP, UDP, RTSP/RTP.
6. I execute V&V for Radio, Train‑to‑Wayside, TCMS, and onboard internet systems using embedded test benches.
7. I support First‑Train validation, adhere to TC&IS development and configuration management processes, and drive DFQ design and review milestones.
8. I ensure quality across electronics, hardware, and embedded software, deliver TC&IS engineering outputs, and perform risk mitigation through QCD analysis.
9.I promote design standardization, maximize reuse of architectures and modules, define TCMS configurations, collaborate with customers on issue resolution, and support tender and pre‑engineering activities with technical insights and feasibility assessments.
