Systems Integration Engineer

Aircraft systems, simulation & verification

Bengaluru, KA 560016

Systems engineer with 11+ years integrating aircraft and vehicle subsystems, building simulation models, and closing verification evidence with customers, airlines, and suppliers.

Strongest fit is hardware–software integration, interface control, test execution, and root-cause closure on high-integrity systems. Recent cockpit-domain work adds multi-display integration, bench and vehicle testing, and OEM-specific acceptance of configured systems. Model-based background in MATLAB/Simulink and SCADE, with safety evidence under ARP4754, ARP4761, and ISO 26262.

Most recent

Nov 2024 — Aug 2026

System Architect

Marelli · Bengaluru, India

  • Cockpit
  • Cluster · IVI · HUD
  • OEM acceptance
  • Owned end-to-end architecture and integration of cockpit domain controllers with cluster, IVI, and HUD, so hardware, software, and displays operated as one system against regional OEM specifications.
  • Led cross-functional hardware and software integration, bench integration, and vehicle-level testing; isolated interface and configuration faults and drove them to closure.
  • Engineered customer-specific cockpit configurations and was the technical point of contact for interpreting OEM requirements and confirming the integrated build met them.
  • Executed verification and validation against system requirements and functional-safety expectations, and recorded deviations and corrective actions for acceptance.

Technical Manager

KPIT Technologies · Bengaluru, India

  • ADAS
  • MATLAB/Simulink
  • ASIL D
  • Led cross-functional delivery of model-based ADAS controls (forward collision warning, ACC, intelligent park, exterior lighting) in MATLAB/Simulink, with CANoe and CANdb interface definition on the vehicle network.
  • Tuned braking thresholds and time-to-collision logic for payload and stopping-distance variation and closed the gap between model prediction and measured vehicle response.
  • Drove ISO 26262 compliance up to ASIL D: authored HARA, DFMEA, and safety cases for longitudinal and lateral control, producing the evidence set used in design and safety reviews.
  • Raised team throughput with agile workflows, launch readiness reviews, and a single status rhythm across design, integration, and validation.

Engineer III — Avionics, Flight Warning System

AKKA Technologies · Bengaluru, India

  • Flight warning
  • SCADE
  • ARP4754
  • Integrated and evaluated the flight-warning system with contributing aircraft systems and interface devices across ATA 22, 27, 28, 29, 31, and 32.
  • Analysed top-level requirements, wrote high- and low-level requirements, and built system models in SCADE; defined and documented interfaces between the warning function and other aircraft systems.
  • Created and ran validation strategies, including independent checks and joint validation with stakeholders, and flowed requirements to suppliers until deliverables met the agreed baseline.
  • Investigated flight-warning incidents reported by airlines, traced root causes, and supported safety and certification evidence under ARP4754 and ARP4761.

Bengaluru, India

Jan 2019 — Feb 2022

Engineer — Aerospace Systems & Simulations

Capgemini · Bengaluru, India

  • FMS
  • ECAM/BITE
  • Simulation
  • Integrated aircraft systems in a simulation environment, including FMS and ECAM display health monitoring (BITE), and retuned model parameters with operational data to improve simulation fidelity.
  • Designed, integrated, and evaluated high-integrity aircraft systems, interface devices, and computing equipment across ATA 22, 27, 28, 29, 31, and 32.
  • Built custom simulation tools that shortened analysis cycles and made integration results easier to review, debug, and hand over.
  • Reviewed algorithm implementations, cleared defects, and ran regular integration status meetings so subsystem owners stayed aligned on open issues and deadlines.

Bengaluru, India

Apr 2015 — Jan 2019

Engineer — Structures, Dynamics & NVH

Aeronautical Development Agency · Bengaluru, India

  • CAE / FEA
  • NVH
  • Test
  • Improved CAE and FEA fidelity by validating models against test data, and standardized NVH test setup, data acquisition, and reporting.
  • Diagnosed complex noise, vibration, and harshness issues across the product lifecycle and recommended corrective test or design actions before release.
  • Supported product acceptance by checking results against internal standards and applicable regulations.
