EDAG Group — embedded across Tier 1 OEM programmes CURRENT

Professional Software Engineer — ADAS, Functional Safety & Enterprise AI Platforms

05/2023 – Present

Berlin, Germany

Enterprise AI document-intelligence platform
built a Python/FastAPI + Celery backend (four task queues) with PostgreSQL/pgvector, Redis and S3 that ingests SAP C4C sales attachments for OCR, Azure OpenAI summarisation/classification and RAG chat, surfaced in a Next.js/React frontend.
Full-stack debugging & LLM prompt engineering
traced a silent cross-stack regression (React → FastAPI → Celery) that dropped generated tables; shipped a disciplined three-layer fix and reverted premature workarounds; resolved an LLM context-inversion hallucination via document-classification tags and added a 262-line test suite.
Legacy Office & export pipeline overhaul
implemented .doc/.xls/.ppt processors (OLE2 → OOXML → HTML fallbacks, no LibreOffice) and registered them in the processor registry; replaced LibreOffice with WeasyPrint and python-docx for brand-compliant DOCX/PDF export plus a live PDF-preview React component.
Prompt architecture & scalable ops
DRY'd 12 shared rule blocks via a <<PLACEHOLDER>> _inject() mechanism across 20+ system prompts (zero runtime overhead); operated a GPU-bounded sequential Celery worker in a distributed India/Germany team on Bitbucket, Jenkins CI, Kubernetes/Helm and Keycloak.
End-to-end software integration ownership
served as technical anchor for ADAS validation programmes across Tier 1 OEM customers; responsible for the full pipeline from requirements decomposition through branch coordination, integration test execution, defect triage, and release evidence delivery; held direct accountability for integration quality at programme milestone reviews.
CI/CD pipeline design & quality gates
architected scalable GitLab CI / Docker pipelines (Python + Bash), enforcing smoke tests, regression coverage, and automated quality-gate criteria across multiple vehicle software platforms; 25 % reduction in integration cycle time; reused without rework across three major VW software releases.
Software release engineering & SDLC coordination
coordinated software content delivery across development, test, and project teams; managed Git branching strategies aligned to release milestones and SDLC phase exits; owned test case readiness, defect lifecycle status tracking, and quality gate compliance; reported integration health and release readiness to OEM programme stakeholders weekly.
Requirements & test traceability
maintained bidirectional traceability from safety goals through system requirements to test cases and validation evidence in DOORS and Jira Xray; automated coverage-matrix generation via Jira Xray REST API; zero untraced requirements at every programme milestone review.
Integration dashboards & observability
built CI/CD-integrated dashboards (GitLab, Python, Jira Xray) aggregating real-time integration health, quality KPIs, and test campaign status across multiple software builds; automated alerting on integration failures and quality-gate violations.
Defect triage & root-cause analysis
led structured triage of integration and regression failures with feature teams; isolated defects across ECU software, communication stacks, and test infrastructure; produced high-fidelity root-cause reports and drove corrective actions to closure; translated findings into concise summaries for programme management.
Cross-functional integration leadership & SDLC governance
chaired integration planning meetings, defect lifecycle review calls, and release decision gates across ADAS software, hardware, network, and test infrastructure teams; managed stakeholder escalations and drove conflict resolution for integration blockers; defined test plan entry / exit criteria and enforced release QA standards; mentored junior engineers in Git branching, CI/CD practices, and structured test processes.
HIL / SiL simulation & CARLA-based validation toolchain
designed closed-loop test sequences on HIL benches (dSPACE, Speedgoat) for ADAS ECU validation; built a complete CARLA 0.9.14 simulation toolchain (Python, Docker, AWS EC2 GPU) automating scenario execution, KPI evaluation, and Jira Xray REST API traceability updates; worked daily with CAN, LIN, and Ethernet at integration layer using Vector tools and Wireshark; managed ECU flash workflows and software update validation sequences.

IAV GmbH

Function Developer / Application Engineer

09/2021 – 03/2023

Gifhorn, Germany

Automated data integration tooling
built Python + Bash pipelines for .a2l / .hex ECU calibration file ingestion via INCA; automated feature extraction, sensor deviation correction, and structured database population (MySQL, InfluxDB) for time-series vehicle measurement data; zero manual steps after initial deployment.
Model-based development & validation
developed and validated Simulink / Stateflow models for vehicle air management systems; applied control theory, system identification, and statistical verification against CAN logged measurement data; maintained UML diagrams and DOORS style documentation for cross-team audit traceability; ensured model fidelity at SiL level before handover to HIL integration.
AI-driven controller optimisation
applied DDPG Reinforcement Learning to autonomously optimise controller parameters; achieved overshoot reduction from 15 % → 4 % over 50,000 training steps with formal convergence validation and documented performance evidence; implemented in Python / TensorFlow with structured test reports reviewed by engineering leadership.
Requirements engineering & measurement data analysis
decomposed vehicle system requirements into testable specifications; maintained traceability from system requirement to validation evidence; built pandas / asammdf data processing pipelines for multi-channel time-series analysis; produced structured reports for cross-functional review sessions including function owners and release management.

Fraunhofer IPA

Research Engineer — Simulation & Automation

07/2018 – 04/2019

Stuttgart, Germany

Simulation & automation tooling
developed simulation and automation tools for industrial manufacturing scenarios: cycle-time modelling, safety-zone analysis, and robot / sensor configuration evaluation; worked with multi-disciplinary teams across research and production-floor contexts.
Safety zone & risk assessment modelling
developed simulation models for safety zone definition in human-robot collaboration scenarios, applying risk assessment methodology (ISO 10218 / EN ISO 13849) to establish safe operational boundaries — directly analogous to ODD and MRC analysis used in autonomous driving functional safety.
Robot & sensor evaluation tool
engineered a Java application for systematic robot and sensor selection (cost, time, automation potential); designed SolidWorks 3D models of mechanical assemblies and produced manufacturing drawings and documentation to optimise production workflows and quality assurance.
Cross-functional research collaboration
integrated design, evaluation, and implementation phases within interdisciplinary teams spanning research and industrial automation; maintained project documentation on Confluence and managed version-controlled codebases with Git throughout the research lifecycle.

BMW Group / Mercedes-Benz Egypt

Automotive Diagnostics Trainee

2013 / 2014

Egypt

ECU diagnostics & safety verification
performed functional safety-system verification and ECU diagnostics on production-ready vehicles using OEM diagnostic platforms (CAN / LIN); interpreted DTC fault codes, live data, and test logs to distinguish hardware faults from software / configuration defects; supported final inspection and test-drive quality gates.
Automated test plan execution & sensor calibration
assisted technicians in executing systematic automated test plans using BMW diagnostic platforms; validated sensor calibration and verified the functionality of safety-critical and comfort systems across integrated electrical / electronic E / E architectures.
ECU software flashing & DTC fault-finding
applied OEM diagnostic tools over CAN / LIN to read and clear DTCs, perform control-unit tests, and execute guided troubleshooting; observed and supported ECU software update and flashing procedures, reinforcing understanding of software load validation and post-flash verification on commercial vehicles.
