• Product Life Cycle Management with accountability of defining the Product Road
Mapfulfilling key requirements viz. features, specifications & cost, product ideation,
prototype development, field testing, approval, negotiations with vendors, BoM
optimization, commercial development of the product .
• Expertise in Embedded Product development including conceptualization, component
selection to meet cost and reliability, hardware design and development, board
development and bring-up, firmware design and development, device driver development,
board support package, testing for performance and reliability (EMI/EMC, temperature),
DFM and DFT, volume manufacturing, service and support.
• Project Management including planning, management of resources, technology and
process, vendor communication, project progress monitoring and delivery.

• Spearheaded implementation of:

a) Architecture of Automotive Multimedia Platform around ARM11 and Windows CE
b) Highly configurable Engine Control and Communication Platform around 32-Bit Microcontroller and RTA-OSEK for an Auto Giant.
c) LPD Protocol for Print Server , Application Level Gateways and SDK components for a Network Processor Manufacturer
d) Fire alarm distribution system. The system conveys the alarm to 256 nodes, distributed over several miles, in less than 3 seconds as required by UK Authorities. It included field testing, product acceptance and rollout.
e) IEC1131-3 compliant PLC Programming Software.
