  • I am an Automotive SPICE (ASPICE) and Functional Safety (FuSa) Engineer with 16+ years of experience in embedded systems, storage firmware (UFS), and memory validation. Over the past 5 years, I have been deeply involved in ASPICE process implementation and assessments, and for the last 2 years, I have focused on Functional Safety aligned with ISO 26262.
  • I bring hands-on experience in achieving ASPICE Level 2 and Level 3 across multiple automotive storage products, including UFS platforms and feature-level compliance. My core strength lies in bridging process compliance with deep technical execution, particularly in SWE4 (Software Unit Verification) and SWE5 (Software Integration & Testing), where I have led verification strategies, traceability, and audit readiness.
  • In Functional Safety, I have contributed to System FMEA, Dependent Failure Analysis (DFA), and implementation of safety mechanisms, ensuring alignment with safety goals and system requirements. I am TÜV certified (FuSa Level 1), and actively expanding my expertise in safety-critical automotive systems.
  • Earlier in my career, I worked extensively on DRAM validation, BIOS-level testing, and UFS firmware (FIL/FRL layers), along with developing workload optimization strategies and machine learning models for manufacturing defect detection.
  • Key Highlights:
  • ASPICE Level 2 & Level 3 achievement across multiple products
  • SWE4 & SWE5 ownership (verification & integration testing)
  • TÜV Certified Functional Safety Engineer – Level 1
  • Experience in UFS, DRAM, BIOS, and embedded systems
  • Strong focus on process compliance, traceability, and quality
  • I am currently looking for opportunities in ASPICE, Functional Safety, and Automotive Software Quality where I can contribute to building reliable, compliant, and safety-critical systems.
