Saurabh H.
Last position:
Master Thesis, Simulation at AVL in Germany
- Engineered and validated a full-vehicle thermal management system in MiL simulation, achieving 95% correlation accuracy against real-world vehicle measurements, directly supporting virtual calibration and reducing dependency on physical test benches.
- Led end-to-end Model-in-the-Loop (MiL) simulation development using AVL CruiseM and MATLAB/Simulink, covering system architecture, parameterization, and validation.
- Acquired and analyzed vehicle sensor measurements (temperature, volumetric flow rate) using dSpace MicroAutoBox (HiL) and IPEmotion, translating raw data into actionable calibration insights.
- Calibrated and optimized critical actuators and thermal components - pumps, valves, electric heaters, heat exchangers, and refrigerant circuits and identified/integrated previously missing physical behaviors to close the gap between simulated and real vehicle performance.
- Designed and tuned an integrated actuator controller with precisely calibrated parameters, producing a high-accuracy virtual model adopted for downstream development use.

About the technology
Test and calibration work
dSPACE ControlDesk is the dSPACE environment many teams use to operate test benches, observe signals, and tune control units. It is common in ECU validation, calibration sessions, and measurement-heavy development work where engineers need live access to variables and states.
Typical project tasks
- Build test layouts for lab and bench work
- Set up measurement views and signal monitoring
- Support parameter calibration and variant checks
- Prepare repeatable test procedures for HIL setups
- Document findings for development and validation teams
Tooling around it
ControlDesk is often used with dSPACE hardware and software such as SCALEXIO, AutomationDesk, and bus interfaces for CAN, LIN, and XCP. Strong specialists know how to connect the tool to the broader measurement chain and keep data paths stable during test runs.
When companies need help
Companies bring in freelance specialists when a test bench must be set up quickly, when a release is blocked by calibration work, or when internal teams need extra support on a specific program. In Germany, this often fits automotive and supplier projects where English documentation and German shop-floor coordination both matter.
What strong experts bring
A good ControlDesk specialist understands signals, experiment setup, and the behavior of real-time systems. They work carefully with measurement definitions, automation, and traceable changes so test results can be trusted by development, validation, and quality teams.
Good fit signals
- You need support for dSPACE-based test benches
- Your team works with ECU calibration or validation
- You need help translating test intent into usable layouts
- You rely on repeated runs and clean measurement data
- You want someone who can work with hardware and software teams
Frequently asked questions
Not sure where to start with dSPACE ControlDesk? These answers cover the essentials.
dSPACE ControlDesk is used to operate test benches, monitor signals, and support ECU calibration and validation. Teams use it when they need live interaction with measurement data and controlled experiment setups on dSPACE systems.
ControlDesk is the interactive workspace for observation, calibration, and manual test execution. AutomationDesk is more focused on automating test sequences, so many projects use both together rather than treating them as substitutes.
A strong dSPACE ControlDesk specialist usually knows measurement concepts, ECU behavior, and bus systems such as CAN, LIN, and XCP. Experience with HIL setups and dSPACE hardware is also very useful because the tool rarely stands alone.
A dSPACE ControlDesk freelancer becomes useful faster when the project already has clear test goals, target hardware, and signal definitions. If the environment is still moving, a specialist should be able to help shape the setup and avoid rework.
Yes, much of the dSPACE ControlDesk setup, script work, and test definition can be done remotely if the access model is in place. For bench bring-up, hardware troubleshooting, or close coordination with test rigs, on-site time in Germany can still be valuable.
A strong dSPACE ControlDesk expert leaves behind clean layouts, stable test sessions, and clear documentation of changes. Good work is easy to repeat, easy to trace, and fits the way your team validates data.
dSPACE ControlDesk is used for both, depending on the project. It can support parameter calibration during development and structured validation work when teams need repeatable measurement and clear experiment control.
Before starting with dSPACE ControlDesk, freelancers usually need access to the target system, signal lists, bench documentation, and the expected test flow. The clearer the interface and data path are, the faster the specialist can make progress without disturbing ongoing work.
