Embedded Systems Consultant / Architect | Integration and Validation Engineer / Manager at Ingenieurbüro Baig
Led the hardware development and validation of a safety-critical 400 V battery management system (BMS) for the TOGG SUV program; performed system architecture reviews, schematic validations, EMC and reliability tests, and root cause analyses in line with relevant automotive standards (ECE-R10, CISPR25, ISO-26262). Coordinated cross-border EU engineering teams, customer reviews, and technical documentation to deliver a production-ready, validated system.
Architected and integrated 22 state-of-the-art ADAS validation vehicles for BMW ADCAM and LIDAR programs at Magna Electronics; synchronized up to 26 heterogeneous sensors (LIDAR, RADAR, cameras, GNSS/INS) using PTP-based timing architectures. Defined the system architecture, HW/SW interfaces for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) reprocessing, sensor integration strategies, and data acquisition frameworks. This enabled scalable vehicle-level validation, improved validation efficiency by 25%, and reduced project costs by €1.45 million.

Developed automated open-loop hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) environments to accurately test target tracking KPIs, field of view limits, and thermal and voltage-related ECU state machines. Used a highly complex toolchain consisting of CANoe, Lauterbach Trace32, RADAR target simulators, and EMC shielding chambers for RF and system validation. Synchronized global, interdisciplinary teams to speed up troubleshooting and close critical technical gaps.
Reconstructed and validated the product architecture of an electromechanical e-bike by integrating and troubleshooting critical subsystems (BMS, motor control, sensors, HMI, electronic locking systems). Built a comprehensive system-level test bench for functional testing, fault reproduction, and performance analysis; coordinated suppliers and implemented corrective actions to improve reliability and traceability.
Defined the system architecture and validation strategy for a LIDAR platform developed in cooperation with Elmos Semiconductor; evaluated optical measurement concepts, SPAD detector integration, and system requirements, and created technical recommendations for product development and verification.
Developed LabVIEW-based automation and verification software for a high-precision hydraulic and electromechanical test system for FTE Automotive; integrated NI DAQ hardware for high-frequency real-time capture of physical measurement data. Developed automated test sequences, programmable endurance tests, troubleshooting routines, data logging, and analysis tools to improve test efficiency and traceability.

About the technology
Fire protection basics
Fire protection covers the systems and concepts that reduce fire risk and limit damage when something goes wrong. It includes prevention, detection, suppression, evacuation support, and coordination with building safety planning. Many companies also search for fire safety, fire protection systems, or sprinkler systems specialists.
Typical project work
- Fire alarm and detection concepts
- Sprinkler and suppression planning
- Smoke control and evacuation paths
- Site surveys and as-built reviews
- Documentation for new builds and retrofits
Strong professionals turn safety rules into practical solutions that fit the building, the process, and the budget.
Tools and standards
Good experts work with CAD drawings, calculation tools, inspection reports, and technical documentation. They understand how fire doors, compartmentation, alarm panels, extinguishing systems, and control logic work together. In Germany, local project teams often expect clear communication around building use, approvals, and coordination with other trades.
Where freelance expertise helps
Companies bring in freelance fire protection specialists when a project needs extra capacity, a second review, or support during a redesign. This is common for offices, logistics sites, production halls, healthcare buildings, and mixed-use properties. It also helps when internal teams need help translating fire protection goals into deliverables for architects, planners, or facility teams.
What strong specialists deliver
- Clear, buildable fire protection concepts
- Risk-based decisions backed by code knowledge
- Precise coordination with related disciplines
- Practical documentation for approval and handover
- Calm support during site changes and audits
The best professionals do not stop at theory. They spot conflicts early and keep the project moving.
Working in Germany
For projects in Germany, many teams want specialists who can work in English and, when needed, handle German project documents and site discussions. On-site visits matter for existing buildings, while concept work, reviews, and coordination can often be done remotely. That mix makes freelance support useful across planning, execution, and compliance work.
Frequently asked questions
What clients ask us most about Fire Protection — answered in short.
A strong Fire Protection specialist defines how a building or site should prevent, detect, and control fire risks. That can include fire alarm concepts, sprinkler and suppression planning, smoke control, compartmentation, and review of technical drawings. The work often ends in clear documentation that other teams can use on site.
They overlap, but the wording changes by context. Fire Protection is the broader field, while fire safety is the everyday term many clients use, and fire protection systems refers more to the technical equipment and controls. Searchers may also use sprinkler systems, fire alarm systems, or fire suppression when they need a specialist with the right focus.
Look for people who can read technical drawings, coordinate with architecture and MEP work, and write clear documentation. A good Fire Protection professional often knows building services, evacuation planning, smoke control, and the handover process. For complex sites, experience with inspections and approval workflows is also useful.
Simple reviews and documentation updates may only need a specialist who has handled similar building types before. A Fire Protection concept for a new build, retrofit, or industrial site usually needs someone who has worked on comparable risk profiles and can make practical trade-offs. The more regulated or operational the site, the more project-specific experience matters.
Bring in freelance support when the team is short on capacity, the project needs a second opinion, or a specialist skill is missing. Fire Protection work often spikes during design changes, permit preparation, audits, and retrofit projects. Freelancers are also useful when a short, focused intervention is better than adding long-term headcount.
Both are common. Fire Protection concepts, drawing reviews, and documentation can often be handled remotely, while existing buildings, plant rooms, and commissioning checks usually need on-site time. For Germany-based projects, it helps if the specialist can switch between remote coordination and site visits without slowing the team down.
Look for clear reasoning, not just a list of standards. A good Fire Protection specialist explains why a solution fits the building, how it affects other trades, and what needs to be documented for approval and handover. Ask for sample deliverables, project references, and examples of how they handled conflicts or redesigns.
Freelancers should be ready to read technical drawings, work with other disciplines, and keep documentation precise. In Fire Protection projects, clients value reliable communication, practical judgment, and the ability to adapt to local building requirements. For work in Germany, readiness for German project language can be a major advantage.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used Fire Protection in their recent projects is 105 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 842 € based on an 8-hour working day.
