• Architected and led the redesign of the Sensor Fault Injection Framework into a scalable Event Injection Framework to inject multiple scheduled events, and verify their system response within required time intervals. This framework is widely used to gate Safety Clearance of the Zoox Robotaxi

• Partnered with hardware-in-loop, software core and simulation teams to design and implement topic meddlers for Fault Injection in AI system

• Participated in defining functional safety requirements for Collision Avoidance System, in accordance with the Safety Case of the Zoox Robotaxi

• Developed creative validation scenarios for Fail Operational Response using the Closed Loop HIL system, injecting system level faults, and validating the system response on high speed junctions.

• Developed and shipped a low-level transport protocol over SPI for end-to-end communication between Apple SoC and UWB endpoints; powering precision-finding features on Apple Watch.

• Designed a userspace-accessible framework for device drivers exposing HAL APIs, following multi-team collaboration to define the API interface.

• Developed sensor drivers and their co-ex mitigation framework as per defined sensor spec and engineering requirements on iPhones and Apple Watches

• Partnered with the display team to deliver a system-level Always-On Display optimization, extending Apple Watch battery life in AOD mode.

• Maintained the Attention Awareness framework on iPhone and iPad, ensuring stability.

• Mentored a junior engineer in driver bring-up, code reviews, and kernel debugging best practices.

• Engineered high-fidelity real-time sensor simulations for Chandrayaan 2’s lander control algorithms, enabling safe verification of guidance and control logic prior to flight; Chandrayaan 2 served as the precursor to Chandrayaan 3; the world’s first successful lunar south pole landing mission.

• Developed and integrated real-time mechanical flexibility simulations into HIL heritage software to validate satellite control algorithms

• Optimized legacy Linear Algebra and HIL frameworks, achieving up to 50% faster simulation throughput and reducing test iteration time

• Enhanced the fidelity of legacy Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) systems to support latency-sensitive satellite actuators, reducing test iteration time and operational costs. This upgrade enabled earlier detection of software defects, significantly minimizing the risk of damage to expensive flight hardware during testing.

Designed and fabricated cantilever MEMS Bio-sensors using Polymers SU-8 and Parylene as the cantilever material for the purpose of Hydrogen Sensing. Tackled the challenge of Parylene patterning and etching and fabricated functional Parylene Cantilevers in the lab.

Different statistical metrics like Mutual Information, Distance metrics, etc. were implemented on Optical and SAR images and analyzed in detail for their feasibility to be used for Multi-sensor image registration.
