Embedded software and firmware engineer/architect - C, C++, Rust. 15 years across automotive, aviation, defence and industrial, taking work packages from requirements through to customer handover.
BARE-METAL FIRMWARE (C): Charge Port Door ECUs on Melexis 81332 and 81335, delivered for General Motors, Jaguar Land Rover and Lucid. Active front and rear diffuser system for a Honda concept sports car, delivered as sole engineer from requirements to handover. Requirements managed in Polarion; unit testing with Tessy 5.1.
EMBEDDED LINUX / YOCTO: Migration of the Airbus A350 flight attendant panel from Gentoo to Yocto. Kernel-level device driver development in C for I2C, SPI and UART; OSI-layer and hardware interfacing in C++. Yocto on ARM7 platforms for construction machinery infotainment.
RTOS: Zephyr - modular software platform for generic actuator firmware. QNX as the real-time layer in Mercedes-Benz infotainment. Bare-metal scheduling on STM32 and Olimex targets.
QT / C++ HMI: Mototok electric aircraft tug ECU (STM32 + Linux) - remote controller interface, motor controller, CAN-to-UART bridging, Google Test suite. Internal infotainment test tooling for General Motors at Bosch.
MULTI-OS INTEGRATION: Mercedes-Benz infotainment bring-up across three operating systems - QNX (real-time), Android (application layer) and Yocto Linux (BSP) - including the Android SDK bridging the application and BSP layers.
SAFETY AND QUALITY: Safety-critical automotive development, ISO 26262 context, MISRA C, requirements engineering in Polarion, automated unit testing (Tessy 5.1, Google Test).
INTERFACES AND HARDWARE: I2C, SPI, UART, CAN, GPIO, Bluetooth. STM32, ARM, Melexis, Zynq, Olimex.
TOOLING: Jenkins, Bitbucket Pipelines, Artifactory, Git, CMake, Simulink, Python, shell scripting.
LEADERSHIP: Product owner, developer and team lead for a five-engineer CPD team; previously led five engineers at Linkas Technology. Agile/Scrum.
