SoundAI Microphones

Mercedez-Benz

Software Development Engineer

Jan 2019 – November 2019

• Led the department’s first Vector BSW stack integration, enabling diagnostics, communication, and NVM features—and improved stack configuration and automation by 30%.
• Architected and implemented AUTOSAR service SW-components (SWE.1–SWE.6) across COM, diagnostics, and NVM, reducing traceability gaps by 20% versus legacy components.
• Built a proof-of-concept on Infineon AURIX TC2x, validating SoundAI’s quad-microphone acoustic-hazard detection and advancing the product from Concept Validation to Design Validation.
• Spearheaded the integration of a modern software development toolchain, creating automatation scripts for Lauterbach Trace32, CMake, Git, Visual Studio, and Jira—cutting setup and build times by 40%.
• Collaborated with hardware and validation teams on design validation, slashing cross-functional handoff issues by 35%.

• Performed requirements engineering for SYS.1 requirement elicitation with the system team, clarifying requirements with Mercedes-Benz on technical feasibility.
• Designed and modeled software architecture and detailed design in IBM Rhapsody, supporting scalable, AUTOSAR-compliant software architecture.
• Performed AUTOSAR BSW stack integration and configuration, ensuring diagnostics, communication, and NVM functionalities were ready for the PoC and vehicle demo in the CV phase.
• Improved the build environment continuously with modern methods such as CMake, compiler/linker optimization, uniform artifact creation, and a standardized folder structure.
• Conducted intensive software debugging with Lauterbach Trace32 on the AURIX microcontroller, resolving complex memory issues and watchdog resets.
• Led development of camera fault-management functionality, defining UDS services and error-handling workflows across all operating modes.
