WORK EXPERIENCE:

Confidential, Murray hill, New Jersey

Lead Engineer

Controller/Processor: ARM9, PPC405, PPC440

Skill Set Used: C++ programming, Embedded Application / Middleware development, TCL scripts.

Responsibilities:

• Following are the prime responsibilities of the team members:
• Design, develop and test the Individual Capability servicers(CS) which enable the Intel custom IOT based framework to access these capabilities from any remote location though the network.
• Discuss with the necessary stakeholders (End users/Contact points for the capability servicers for example) for finalizing the requirements of the capability servicers. This also includes developing the proof of concepts (POC) and showing the DEMO to them for fine-tuning the requirements.
• Understand the Intel custom Framework updates and modify the capability servicers to comply with the latest updates or to make it work backward compatible based upon the CS requirements/needs.
• Develop the necessary tools required for testing these capability servicers and automate the test cases wherever possible.
• Contribute to the Intel custom Framework development by suggesting and implementing the improvements/feature, after getting the necessary approval from Intel team.

Tech Lead

IDE Tools: Lauterbach, GCC

Controller/Processor: Freescale IMX6 SABRE-AI SOC

Skill Set Used: C, C++ programming, Embedded Linux Device drivers, U-boot customization, Middleware development.

Responsibilities:

• Design, development and testing of the Confidential software module. This module uses the RS232 interface and the custom Confidential protocol for the communication between Freescale IMX6 SOC and the Confidential microcontroller. This is used for exchanging the specific CAN and other infotainment related information between the two controllers.
• Design, development and testing of Confidential Sample application module. This module uses the RS232 interface and the VCP CI protocol for applying the VCP profile to the Target board. Confidential is used for fine tuning the automotive acoustic profile parameters of the Target board from the windows based tool, called VCP Configurator.
• This sample application records the micro phone audio data and sends it to the speakers of the Head unit systems. By using this application users can change the VCP profiles from the windows tool (VCP Configurator) and verify the audio quality accordingly.
• Also for one of the projects was involved in the C++ based Automotive multimedia middleware development using the Intel Kendrick Canyon framework on the Intel KP board.
