Piyush Nikam — Product Engineer

From wiring a relay-controlled ceiling fan as a teenager to filing a patent for wireless CAN communication at Tata Technologies — my journey has always been about building things that don't exist yet. I spent 3 years at Tata Technologies as a Design Engineer on high-mobility defence vehicle platforms, where I designed end-to-end wiring harnesses and electrical architectures for commercial defence vehicles. Beyond the day-to-day, I independently developed a wireless CAN network using ESP microcontrollers — a potentially world-first approach to wireless inter-ECU communication — with a patent application currently under review. Some highlights along the way: 1) Reduced prototype trial duration by 25% through an advanced DFMEA process 2) Fully eliminated EMI in a CAN subsystem using targeted shielding 3) AIR 1 for Best 4WD Design at eBAJA SAEINDIA 4) Department Rank 1 across all 4 years of BTech (9.4/10 GPA) 5) Built a YouTube channel with 1 Crore+ views sharing my video editing skills I'm now pursuing a Master of Engineering in AI Engineering of Autonomous Systems at Technische Hochschule Ingolstadt, Germany (graduating April 2027), where I'm diving deep into CNNs, fuzzy logic, and the intelligence layer that sits on top of the hardware I've spent years designing. My sweet spot is the intersection of embedded systems, automotive E&E, and AI — and I'm actively looking for opportunities (thesis, working student, internship) where I can apply both. 📩 Let's connect if you're working on autonomous vehicles, automotive software, or embedded AI systems.
