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.
End-to-end validation and integration of automotive radar platforms for a Daimler project at Continental. 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.
Successfully managed complete engineering life cycles for well-known industrial customers (Magna, Continental, Farasis, FTE Automotive, BMW, Daimler, TOGG) – from requirements engineering and proof of concept through system integration and validation to technical documentation, supplier coordination, and user training.

About the technology
GNSS basics
GNSS stands for Global Navigation Satellite System. It covers satellite positioning, timing and navigation for products that need reliable location data. Common work includes GPS-based systems, but also Galileo, GLONASS and BeiDou integration.
Typical use cases
- Vehicle tracking and fleet systems
- Surveying, mapping and geospatial tools
- Timing for telecom and industrial networks
- Navigation features in apps and devices
- Asset tracking in factories, ports and yards
Core skills
Strong GNSS professionals understand antenna selection, signal quality, multi-constellation behavior and error sources such as multipath or poor sky view. They work with coordinate frames, map data and sensor fusion when location must stay stable in motion.
Tooling and stack
GNSS work often sits alongside embedded software, mobile apps, cloud services and geospatial libraries. Common deliverables include receiver integration, location pipelines, NMEA handling, correction services and test setups for field validation.
When to bring in freelance expertise
Companies bring in freelance GNSS specialists when a location feature is failing, a receiver needs integration, or a product needs better accuracy in difficult environments. In Germany, this often matters for mobility, logistics, industrial systems and engineering teams that need focused support without long onboarding.
What strong experts deliver
A strong specialist does more than read coordinates. They trace signal issues, compare sensor and receiver behavior, tune positioning logic and explain trade-offs between cost, accuracy and robustness. The best experts document edge cases clearly and help teams ship systems that behave well in the field.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about GNSS? Start with the answers below.
GNSS is used wherever a system needs position, speed, direction or precise time from satellites. That includes navigation, fleet tracking, surveying, mapping, asset monitoring and timing for networked systems.
GNSS is the wider term. GPS is one satellite navigation system, while GNSS also includes Galileo, GLONASS and BeiDou, which can be combined for better coverage and resilience.
Start with the actual problem: accuracy, power use, indoor performance, antenna constraints or field testing. A good GNSS specialist should be able to explain the likely error sources and the validation plan before any implementation starts.
A strong GNSS freelancer often also works with embedded software, mobile location stacks, geospatial data, sensor fusion and cloud backends. For many projects, knowledge of NMEA, coordinate systems and correction services is also important.
It depends on the risk. Simple integration can be handled by a specialist who knows the device and protocol stack, while high-accuracy or safety-sensitive work needs someone who has already solved signal, timing and field-validation problems in similar systems.
Many GNSS tasks can be done remotely, especially software integration, data review and issue analysis. On-site work helps when antennas, vehicles, machines or test routes must be measured in the real environment, which is common in Germany-based field projects.
Look for clear reasoning, not just feature lists. A good GNSS expert can explain why a receiver behaves a certain way, show how they test in the field, and describe how they handle poor signal, multipath and reference data.
Typical deliverables include receiver integration, correction handling, logging and diagnostics, accuracy tuning and test reports. In GNSS projects, clear documentation matters because the same problem often looks different in the lab, in a vehicle and outdoors.
The average hourly rate of freelancers in Germany who have used GNSS in their recent projects is 116 €, which corresponds to a daily rate of about 926 € based on an 8-hour working day.
Of the freelancers in Germany who have used GNSS in their recent projects, 100% hold at least a Bachelor's degree, 78% hold at least a Master's degree, and 22% hold a doctorate.
On average, freelancers in Germany who have used GNSS in their recent projects have 16 years of professional experience, with a single engagement typically lasting around 2.6 years.
The most common languages among freelancers in Germany who have used GNSS in their recent projects are English (100%), German (92%), and Arabic (17%).
