About Chirag P.

I am a big picture control system professional with focus in converting system level design into final implementation efficiently. At MathWorks, I work with engineers in the area of control system design to streamline the transition from desktop simulations to real-time testing and hardware-in-loop (HIL) testing. At Lucid Motors, I worked on evolving model-based design processes for fast-paced development environment and develop next generation control algorithms for various vehicle systems of next generation Electric Car.I have 10 years of experience in mathematical modeling and simulation of complex multi-domain systems, closed-loop analysis, algorithm design and implementation, rapid controller prototyping and hardware-in-loop (HIL) testing. Previously at MathWorks, I worked with engineers engaged in challenging control system design problems to achieve their overall goal by helping them adopt Model-Based Design and in the process, generate new business opportunities and help achieve revenue goals.Before joining MathWorks, I worked in Aerospace industry for more than three years, creating simulation models for aircraft brake systems and cabin environment systems, developing and testing embedded algorithms using very complex Hardware-In-Loop test setup.Specialties: Modeling & Simulation of Dynamic Systems, Control System Design, Analysis and Implementation, Rapid Prototyping and Hardware-In-Loop Testing.
