Embedded Systems & Electronics Engineer

At Tork Motors, an electric motorcycle company, I worked as part of the R&D team on projects spanning vehicle control systems, cluster development, testing automation, and compliance certification. My work contributed to improving efficiency, reliability, and scalability of production-ready EV systems.

Key contributions included:

• Hardware-in-Loop System: Designed and deployed a HIL system, using a Renesas-based automotive-grade controller for the Vehicle Control Unit, cutting testing time in Quality Control and improving production efficiency by 20%, while adding encryption for better data security and traceability.
• Automotive Clusters: Built an automotive cluster prototype on Raspberry Pi with a TFT display (Python-based), relaying real-time CAN data for vehicle monitoring.
• Fleet-Adaptable Software: Developed production cluster firmware on a Renesas-based automotive-grade controller, which is adaptable to multiple 3-wheeler variants, improving system efficiency by 10%.
• Testing Automation: Initiated a .NET Framework based proprietary CAN test automation tool, boosting testing efficiency by 30% and enabling broader test case coverage.
• Compliance & Reliability: Assisted with EMI/EMC compliance testing at ARAI, diagnosing interference issues and implementing design improvements to ensure certification readiness.

This role strengthened my expertise in embedded systems, automotive electronics, compliance testing, and production optimization, while giving me hands-on exposure to scaling innovations for the electric mobility industry.

During my internship with the E-Mobility division at Kalyani Powertrain, I worked on the research and evaluation of battery thermal management systems, a critical component in electric vehicle performance and safety. I gained firsthand exposure to the design and development process of an electric vehicle project, learning how different engineering disciplines integrate to bring a concept to life. This experience deepened my understanding of the end-to-end EV development cycle, from component-level research to system-level integration, and strengthened my knowledge of the thermal and electrical challenges in e-mobility solutions.

As part of CRCE Formula Racing, a Formula Student team, I led the electronics and powertrain development for our racecar that competed at Formula Bharat, a national-level engineering design and racing event. My work spanned across vehicle wiring, data acquisition, safety systems, and transmission automation.

Key contributions included:

• Engine & Electrical Systems: Wired and integrated the new engine, designed the air intake system, and optimized the electrical system for performance and reliability.
• Data Acquisition & CAN Integration: Developed a real-time data acquisition system using CAN tools to monitor engine and vehicle performance.
• Semi-Automatic Transmission: Engineered a DC motor–based actuation system that converted the manual sequential gearbox into a semi-automatic transmission, reducing lap times.
• Safety Innovations: Built an analog safety device using comparators and a timer IC to shut down the engine if both brakes and accelerator were pressed together, automatically resetting after 10 seconds for driver protection.

This experience sharpened my skills in embedded systems, automotive electronics, control systems, and motorsport engineering, while also teaching me the value of teamwork and innovation under competitive conditions.
