Senior Control Software Engineer | Technical Leader
Alten Delivery Center
Senior consultant and technical leader for embedded control software deliveries, leading 3 engineers across requirements, architecture, validation, and customer delivery.
Volvo CE: Autonomous electric hauler propulsion control
- Developed and integrated traction-control software for autonomous electric haulers operating in harsh off-road conditions.
- Designed propulsion torque-control architecture for dual motors and individual axle control, including torque allocation with redundant actuators.
- Implemented diagnostics, monitoring, unit/integration tests, and system-level validation aligned with functional safety requirements.
- Validated software through SIL, HIL, and vehicle testing in manual and autonomous modes.
TRATON / Scania: Thermal management and electrified powertrain controls
- Designed real-time control architecture and predictive thermal control in MATLAB/Simulink, from concept evaluation to ECU-ready implementation in C++ within Adaptive AUTOSAR.
- Developed model-based embedded software for electric truck thermal management, covering batteries, power electronics, chargers, pumps, valves, fans, and auxiliaries.
- Supported ISO 26262 ASIL-B software development in a GitLab CI/CD environment using SAFe.
Senior Development Software Engineer
Mahle Electronics
- Led software development for an e-bike motor control project using model-based development and calibration workflows.
- Designed and calibrated a virtual PMSM temperature model with 98% model accuracy.
- Developed application-layer software for a wireless charger and DC/DC converter.
- Defined model-based development strategy for an AUTOSAR-based platform on Infineon AURIX.
- Contributed to Automotive SPICE adoption and served as Scrum Master.
Development Software Engineer
Scania
- Developed embedded software for diagnostics, thermal management, oil-system control, and safety-related functions using MATLAB/Simulink and C code generation.
- Contributed from design and simulation through implementation, testing, calibration, debugging, and flashing.
Industrial PhD Researcher
Scania
- Researched in-cycle closed-loop combustion control algorithms for diesel engines running with biofuels.
- Investigated, designed, and implemented advanced closed-loop control algorithms for heavy-duty engines, translating high-speed sensing and predictive models into real-time control actions implemented on an FPGA.
- Analyzed hardware-resource constraints for real-time controller implementation with efficiency gains up to +1.8%unit.
- Published 15 scientific papers, generated 4 patents, and mentored thesis students in industrial-academic collaboration.
Senior Development Software Engineer
Scania
- Designed control architecture for thermal management in electric powertrains and implemented control strategies for electrified vehicle applications.
- Developed estimation methods for battery SOC, SOP, and SOH in mild-hybrid systems.
- Improved thermal-management efficiency by 2% through control-function development, calibration, and validation in test bench and vehicle environments.
- Performed end-to-end validation through MIL, SIL, HIL, wind tunnel, test track, and on-road activities.
