About Aniket Padghan

I’m an automotive software engineer with 7+ years of experience architecting and integrating adaptive, platform-level applications for ADAS and vehicle control systems. My work spans end-to-end software design, middleware integration, and HIL validation across multi-SoC environments running QNX, Linux, and RHIVOS on NXP, Qualcomm, and TI hardware. Previously, I developed core EV control and charging software from concept to production, shaping multiple electric vehicle programsI am eager to embrace more challenging assignments and leadership oriented roles, with a focus on advancing my career in Advance Automotive Software Domain

Experience

1. Automotive Software Technical Lead

   ZF Group

   Jun 2022 — Present · Hyderabad, IN

   Integrated C-based Lane Change Assist (LCA) and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) on multi-zonal HPC architectures by developing wrapper modules for data flow, scheduling, and CAN–ETH gateway communication.2. Architected HIL setups using NXP S32G-VNP-RDB2, Vector VX1135/VN5620, and CANoe for exhaustive functional validation; built custom Yocto Linux images with CAN drivers and performed QNX integrations on Qualcomm QDrive and TI TDA4VM.3. Developed a C++ Function Adaptor framework for Adaptive AUTOSAR (ara:com, ara:per, ara:diag, ara:phm, ara:ucm) with Python-based automation for adaptor code generation.4. Implemented S2S service patterns and large object-list handling for ACC feature clusters; Contributed automation of Adaptive AUTOSAR project configuration in Vector DaVinci.5. Led complete ACC feature integration on Qorix Adaptive AUTOSAR middleware (RHIVOS + TDA4VM), validating functional execution and achieving stable multi-core runtime for ELIV 2025 and CES 2026.6. Benchmarked Vector and Qorix Adaptive AUTOSAR middleware stacks for determinism, latency, and inter-process communication, enabling optimized performance across functional clusters.7. Defined SoA design recommendations balancing modularity, communication overhead, and efficiency; formulated integration strategies for mixed-criticality (ASIL) applications across heterogeneous SoCs.Recognitions: Pinnacle Award (2024), Star Team Award (Q3 2025), Excellence Award (Q2 2024), and Kickbox Innovation Finalist (Top 3 of 254 ideas, 2023).
