I have 11+ years of end-to-end ADAS and Automated Driving experience spanning perception algorithms, radar-based ADAS, automated parking, and L2+/L2++ feature integration and demos for global OEMs across India, Germany, and the US.
High-level ADAS/AD background
- Started in radar-based ADAS at Bosch delivering perception, diagnostics, and prototype vehicles, then grew into AD (L2) platform, automated parking, and now L2+/L2++ ADAS leadership at ZF.
- Experience covers full lifecycle: concept, requirements, algorithm and software development, V&V, system integration, vehicle demos, customer programs, and business development support.
## Technical depth in ADAS/AD
- Hands-on work on perception (object detection, ego vehicle estimation, lane estimation, sensor fusion), radar-based ADAS subsystems, diagnostics (UDS, CAN), and simulation/build toolchains.
- Defined ISO 26262/ASIL and ASPICE-compliant V&V strategies, HIL simulation frameworks, calibration and flashing setups, and improved ADAS performance through parameter tuning and root-cause analysis.
- Patent holder for an automated parking concept (“Unmonitored Dynamic Vehicle Park Assist”) and contributor to automated valet parking solutions.
Leadership and demos
- Progressed from software engineer to Senior Engineering Supervisor leading 15+ FTEs (algo project leads and application engineers) in AD/ADAS Function & Algorithm at ZF.
- Owns integration of ZF’s new-generation ADAS systems into demo vehicles, responsible for all NA AD/ADAS demos, and acts as technical point of contact for business hunting and customer engagements.
- Managed core/platform AD parking projects, built new teams, coordinated international R&D, and delivered 20+ major vehicle demos for global OEMs in US/EU to support new business wins.
Product and project ownership
- Acted as Product Owner for ADAS simulation frameworks and as Engineering Project Manager for automated driving (parking), handling product strategy, market/feasibility analysis, partner scouting, and supplier negotiations.
- Supported RFQs, defined roadmaps and milestones, maintained backlogs, led agile ceremonies, and ensured on-time, high-quality algorithm and system deliverables.
Business and industry-facing profile
- Combines deep ADAS/AD engineering with an MBA focused on strategy and entrepreneurship, enabling strong alignment of technology roadmaps with business goals.
- Regularly represents ADAS products in external events and demos, publishes technical articles on driver monitoring and regulations, and is recognized as a supportive, high-impact leader in ADAS teams.
