Sithi Fathima — DevOps Engineer

Senior Lead Engineer | Embedded Systems | Network on Chip Functional Safety | Power Management IPs | Automotive Mobile XR Windows SoCs | IoT I am an accomplished Senior Lead Engineer with 8+ years of experience in embedded systems, functional safety, and automotive/mobile/XR/Windows/IoT SoCs. Currently working at Qualcomm, I specialize in SoC architecture, automotive safety certification, and power management IPs. I have a strong background in embedded C programming, RTOS, ARM processors, functional safety (ISO 26262), and hardware/software integration. My experience spans signal processing, OSAL layer development, RTOS porting, system verification, and debugging. Expertise: 1. Automotive Functional Safety (ISO 26262, ASIL Compliance) – Safety-critical software development, BIST validation, functional safety analysis (FMEA, DFA). 2. Embedded Software Development & Optimization – MISRA-C compliance, static analysis, MC/DC code coverage, real-time debugging. 3. Network-on-Chip (NoC) & Safety Subsystems – NoC error debugging, ECC, watchdog timers, fault injection testing. 4. DDR remapping and Quality Management IPs for bandwidth throttling, ensuring efficient system-level bandwidth management. 5. Low-Power Features & Power Optimization – Experience in runtime system micro-idle, macro-idle, clock gating, and power gating, optimizing energy efficiency in embedded systems. 6. IoT – Developed IoT-based projects using ESP32, FreeRTOS, AWS IoT Core, and MQTT, integrating sensors and object detection for real-time monitoring. 7. System Debugging & Validation – Debugged and resolved complex system-level issues for major clients, including Samsung, Vivo, Meta, Microsoft, and Chrome. 8. Tool Development – Created Python-based NoC bandwidth analyzers, safety error decoders, and automation tools for validation. 9. Verification & Signal Analysis – Experience in system verification, running tests, debugging, and signal analysis, ensuring robust validation. 10. Digital Signal Processing (DSP) – Implemented heap memory management for a base-metal OS. 11. Threads & IPC in LTE Signal Processing – Developed threads and inter-processor communication (IPC) between DSP and application processors for LTE systems. 12. OSAL, RTOS Porting – Extensive experience in OS Abstraction Layer (OSAL) development, RTOS porting, and low-level system programming. I am always open to discuss embedded security, automotive safety, DSP, and IoT innovations. Looking forward to collaborating with like-minded professionals and driving innovation in embedded and safety-critical systems.
