Munich, DE

BMW needed a skilled leader to guide their Autonomous Vehicle ECU platform rollout. I joined via LTTS and led QNX and BSP integration and testing onsite. I managed milestone tracking, backlog coordination, and supplier collaboration while resolving architectural blockers. My work ensured delivery aligned with QNX systems and Agile processes. Later, I have promoted as Technical leader for Linux OS.• Reviewing the Test case for Linux driver and feature in coordination with architect.• Mentored and coached the team technically, accelerating the onboarding process.• Led QNX BSP-based hardware bring-up, conducted system-level error analysis, and maintained issue tracking in JIRA.• Drove cross-functional requirements alignment between BMW and Valeo.• Executed and optimized TFTP side-loading and configured network infrastructure such as DHCP and TFTP.• Led QNX BSP-based ECU bring-up for IPNEXT platform; conducted system-level error analysis and maintained issue tracking in JIRA. • Performed requirements engineering between Valeo and BMW. Supported BMW/Valeo in Ethernet configuration with Marvel. • Enabled the ePTM system feature. Gained proficiency in CERT, key management, MACsec, Ethernet PHY switch configuration.• Automated boot KPI tracking with Bazel CI/CD Python scripts, reducing manual effort by 20%. Fixed and analyzed booting issues.

ABOUT GAURAV KUMAR

Struggling to align infotainment software platforms across distributed teams, shifting priorities, and safety constraints? Need technical expertise for the Low level development and bare metal platform. Development and design in IoT Based product. I\'m Gaurav Kumar — a Technical Lead with 16+ years of experience across India, Japan, and Germany.As a results-driven Embedded Software Professional Automotive, Infotainment, and Safety-Critical ECU platforms.I specialize in Embedded Linux, Yocto, and platform bring-up for safety-critical infotainment ECUs. From Daimler to BMW, I\'ve led teams across 4 countries and resolved core Linux kernel issues, driver-level defects, and secure boot architecture challenges.Currently contributing to BMW Munich, I focus on Embedded Linux OS lifecycle management, BSP bring-up, and platform stability.My career spans technical leadership roles at Bosch, Magna, Continental, and Expleo, where I’ve consistently delivered end-to-end embedded software solutions — from low-level driver development in Embedded C to secure boot frameworks, Ethernet configurations, and QNX/Yocto-based integration.• Led the resolution of a two-year floating socket issue at Daimler by coordinating multi-site teams - system and software architect in India.Provided a solution focused on user space rather than kernel space considering system instability.• Identified PHY chip silicon revisions and developed a 1 Gbps initialization sequence within the Linux kernel module. This was done incoordination with Bosch management, Marvell, and international teams to clarify requirements.• Optimized system boot time by 22% and reduced the kernel image size to 8 MB, which improved hypervisor memory efficiency.• Published: “Implementation of Multichannel GPS Receiver Baseband Modules” © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2012.Here\'s what I bring:Supplier and Milestone ManagementFeature Ownership across ECUsISO 26262 (ASIL-B&D), ASPICEAgile Coordination.Ready to lead software platforms that meet milestones, safety goals, and real-world deployment standards.
