I am writing to express my interest in the Embedded Firmware & Software Engineer position. With over 10 years of experience in low-level software development, particularly focusing on C/C++, Linux kernel and device drivers, I am confident in my ability to contribute effectively to your team.

In my recent role at BMW AG as a Platform Project Manager, I successfully managed software releases and coordinated integration across multiple ECUs, acting as the primary interface between development teams and various stakeholders. My technical background in firmware development and project leadership allowed me to ensure on-time and quality deliveries, which directly supported project objectives.

Prior to that, I served as a Senior Software Engineer at L&T Technology Services, where I analyzed and resolved software defects in UDS diagnostics and OBD components. My experience as an Embedded Firmware Engineer at Vermes Microdispensing included developing embedded firmware for microcontrollers, enhancing graphical user interfaces, and implementing inter-processor communications. This hands-on work has equipped me with a strong skill set that extends beyond coding to include hardware-software integration and debugging.

Additionally, my tenure at Intel Technology India involved enabling audio functionality on Chromebook platforms, where I developed Linux kernel machine drivers and resolved kernel-level issues. I also contributed significantly at Aptiv Technical Center, focusing on automotive infotainment systems, where I implemented communication stacks and ensured compliance with ASPICE and MISRA-C standards.

Holding a Master's degree in Embedded Software & Systems from BITS Pilani, I bring a solid academic foundation along with practical experience. I am fluent in English (C1) and possess intermediate proficiency in German (B1), which aids my collaboration in diverse teams.

I am excited about the potential to contribute my expertise in embedded systems to your organization and am eager to bring my background in automotive platforms and real-time embedded systems to your development efforts. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the possibility of discussing how my skills can align with your needs.
