With over 12 years of experience in hardware engineering and electrical systems, I thrive at BMW Group as a Hardware Development Engineer, contributing to the design and optimization of zonal power distribution units. My core expertise lies in system design, hardware prototyping, and validation, which aligns seamlessly with BMW's mission to innovate and redefine automotive excellence. I am motivated to create impactful solutions in the evolving field of vehicular electrical systems, bringing a collaborative and analytical approach to the team. At BMW, our work focuses on enabling robust and efficient power systems through advanced technologies such as impedance spectroscopy and system identification. By prototyping hardware and validating solutions using labcar test benches, we ensure the seamless integration of cutting-edge power systems. This work builds on prior contributions to virtual low-voltage system development and data-led advancements in regenerative braking for hybrid and electric vehicles.
