Drawing on one decade of strategic leadership and innovation, I deliver value in leading tactical research initiatives for new product development in association with OEMs, sub-suppliers, development, quality, sales, purchasing, test, and validation department, and management board. I manage full project lifecycle from quotation submission to product development phase with up to start of series production. I analyse and understand customer requirements and supervise supplier in order to assure the delivery of high-quality services to the clients according to their needs.A few key achievements in this tenure include:● Envisioned and developed electronically regulated oil pump for a leading E-car manufacturer, resulting in significant reduction in fuel consumption and wastage.● Owned and headed the cross-product development process for safety-critical system software for a leading manufacturer of remotely controllable surgery microscopes. ● Evaluated customer requirements and led preparation of all specification documents, system architecture, and functional safety products/processes for safety-critical car components for world's biggest Tier-1 automotive suppliers.● Contributed in modifying processes flow and providing recommendations for tools installation for functional safety of electrical and electronic systems in passenger cars in strict compliance with ISO26262 standards.● Adopted appropriate evaluation approaches for compilation and assessment of performance / product specifications and FMEAs (failure modes and effects analysis), proposing solutions to meet quality standards.● Enhanced visibility and maximum impact on outcomes by providing interdisciplinary training to global staff.

As a R&D Project Manager, I regulated all aspects of research and development projects, strengthened relationships, and communicated project scope, plan, and budget to associated contractors, project staff, and customers. Through 360-degree customer lifecycle analysis, I identified deficiencies and delivered change management based projects and alternative technical solutions that met client requirements and provide greater re-usability and longer life. I addressed all critical matters of a project using standard project management processes and tools like PLM software. I led regular audits of work products for customers’ and contractors’ satisfaction and facilitated team and stakeholder meetings.A few key achievements in this tenure include:● Administered development of numerous sensor systems, including clutch sensor for prestigious and renounced international car manufacturers.● Led development and compilation of electronically regulated oil pumps from scratch and extended the employer’s product portfolio and its overall market impact.● Developed products in strict compliance with ISO26262 processes and applied appropriate approaches and tools for performance assessment, suggesting improvements in quality standards.● Headed international and interdisciplinary project teams consisting up to 50 members for completion of challenging high-volume projects.

I oversaw ongoing improvements, developed and maintained strong relationships with clients in order to design, maintain, and upgrade embedded systems consistent with requirements. Through technical skills I developed systems by determining systems technical risks and accordingly recommended effective initiatives to mitigate potential issues. Also, I directed components centered research, established schematics and PCB layouts, wrote all source codes, designed microcontroller and FPGA (Field-programmable gate array) circuits and programmes, and developed web sites and Windows software.A few key achievements in this tenure include:● Coordinated with design, development, testing, and implementation teams to plan and complete assigned projects within deadlines. Identified technical risks and challenges and proposed action plans.● Evaluated existing systems, understood and interpreted error reports from internal staff and external clients, troubleshoot and debug in embedded environments and provided instant fixtures for the same.● Designed hardware and firmware of a new control system for anti-decubitus alternating pressure mattresses, while creating specifications and planning and executing software and hardware tests.● Applied expertise for technical specification explanation, final customer coordination, firmware development, hardware troubleshooting/debugging, static and dynamic responsive web site design and development, Windows GUI development, and bus interface implementation.
