Work experience

Senior Firmware engineer
since 08.2024 - Till the present day |Evert
STM32, C, PLECS, Simulink, Jira, Confluence, Scrum
● Developing next generation Bidirectional EV chargers (STM32). ● Secure OTA bootloaders with rollback authentication and encryption (all bells and whistles). ● 900V DCDC power electronics firmware and hardware and simulation (PLECS). ● Real EV discharging tests ISO15118-20, ISO15118-4, DIN70121. ● A bit of DevOps (Github actions). ● Jira/Confluence Scrum workflows.
Senior Power Electronics Researcher
01.2023 - 09.2024 |UPC - CITCEA BARCELONA
Matlab, Simulink, C
● Developing of electro-mobility solutions (automotive powertrains & wallchargers). ● Mostly Matlab/simulink powertrain simulations and DSP firmware coding (C) with texas instruments C28x piccolo family.
R&D Firmware Engineer
01.2021 - 01.2023 |LUXAE
STM32, Qt, QML, C++, CI/CD
● Prototyping electronics all the way to production release. (STM32), very transversal work but Closer to firmware than hardware. ● Responsible of the full firmware architecture. ● R&D/design/maintenance and electronics debugging (CI/CD). ● Sometimes acting as FAE, sometimes putting down production fires. ● Custom Bootloaders, BLE, LIN, automotive grade system integration, a good friend of CANbus by now. ● Able to develop Commercially available GUI's with Qt+qml (C++)
Embedded Linux Developer (Boot to Qt)
02.2020 - 04.2020 |ALTERIA
STM32Code, Qt, QML, C++
● Took over a project and delivered what expected in time plus proper documentation. ● Qt+qml (C++) and STM32Code for a maintenance sensor gateway. ● Worked in a team of two.
Power Electronics Engineer
01.2019 - 06.2020 |FlyingBasket
STM32, C, Qt, C++
● Developing/debugging power electronics modulations for 10kw BLDC Motor control with STM32 family devices, PCB design, firmware developing (plain C) and power management. ● Spiced up with tons of arduino powered auxiliar systems developing. ● Getting used to Qt (C++).
R&D Firmware Engineer
01.2018 - 06.2019 |ALTERIA
Linux, Qt
● Hardware and software development for embedded solutions, prototyping using microcontrollers (Atmel/ARM) and embedded Linux platforms (Raspberry). ● Developing a project about Predictive maintenance (PdM), smart sensoring and robotics based. ● Getting started with Qt.
Electronics Engineer
04.2017 - 07.2017 |Biji-Biji
C++
● Factory duties, lots of arduinoing. (C++).
