Model-Based Development Engineer
|
Safety-critical powertrain control software, built the full model-based way — from ISO 26262 requirements through Simulink/Stateflow design and MISRA-clean generated C to MIL/SIL verification — delivered across four Cummins vehicle programs.
I'm a Model-Based Development Engineer with 3+ years building safety-critical automotive control systems at KPIT Technologies. My work spans MATLAB/Simulink algorithm development, AUTOSAR architecture, and ISO 26262 compliance — delivering production software for Cummins powertrains across multi-ECU platforms.
What drives me is the engineering culture behind elite precision — where milliseconds matter, failure is not an option, and every decision is fully traceable. That discipline I carry from the racetrack into every model, every design review, and every line of code.
A deliberate model-based-design suite spanning the three pillars of production powertrain software — closed-loop control, OBD diagnostics, and ISO 26262 functional safety — each with a live in-browser simulation, traceable requirements, and a model-as-code repo.
The same standards that decide a championship are the ones I hold safety-critical software to — real-time, sensor-driven, and tested for every case before it ever runs.
"Milliseconds decide a race. They also decide whether a control loop holds at the limit. I build both the same way — no margin for error, every path tested."

A rolling embedded-systems lab: ~300 sensors feeding 1,000+ telemetry channels, a terabyte of data a weekend, and one mandated spec ECU running its control strategy on a 1 ms loop. It's the sharpest version of what I do — real-time control and safety-critical code that can't fail at 360 km/h.
A spec ECU fuses IMU, GPS and wheel-speed to run traction, anti-wheelie and engine-braking control. Márquez holds ~65° of lean mid-corner — and once saved a 70.8° slide at 67 km/h — then the same electronics fire the bike down the straight at 360+ km/h. The same discipline I bring to every ECU review.
I'm actively exploring opportunities at premium automotive OEMs where safety-critical software, AUTOSAR architecture, and functional safety meet cutting-edge vehicle platforms. If you're building something that demands precision — let's talk.
