About Kunal Thakore
I am a Senior Firmware Design Engineer based in Bengaluru, specializing in embedded systems and power electronics. With a strong foundation in C programming and microcontroller architecture, I am passionate about building robust, efficient, and safe firmware for critical hardware platforms. Currently, at Schneider Electric, I lead firmware development activities for the Split-Phase Online UPS program and integrate digital control loops for PFC, DC-DC, and inverter subsystems. My journey with Schneider Electric began as an Intern in 2021. Since then, I have grown into a Senior Design Engineer, taking end-to-end ownership of firmware modules that are utilized across international design centers. Core Competencies & Technical Expertise:• Embedded Development: Extensive experience with ARM Cortex-M (STM32H7, STM32H5, STM32F4) and AVR microcontrollers, utilizing C programming. • Peripherals & Protocols: Hands-on expertise with DMA, ADC, SPI, I2C, UART/USART, Timers, and PWM. • System Design: Skilled in designing state machines, developing bootloader firmware, and executing complex microcontroller migrations. • Quality & Safety: Strong advocate for firmware quality through Agile and SDLC processes. Proficient in static code analysis using Coverity and Klocwork. Key Milestones & Achievements:• Patent Holder: Filed a patent (US 19/293,675) for a \"Battery Disconnect Mechanism\" after successfully addressing a safety-critical AFMEA problem statement. • Award-Winning Innovation: Recognized with the \"SPARK\" award for \"Innovation of the Year\" at Schneider Electric’s Parivartan - 2025 event. • Mentorship: Actively mentoring junior engineers and driving team competence in complex hardware-software integration. I hold a B.Tech in Electronics & Communication Engineering from the Vellore Institute of Technology. To further deepen my domain expertise, I also completed a 5-course specialization in Battery Management Systems Algorithms from the University of Colorado Boulder. I am always open to connecting with fellow engineers and industry professionals to discuss embedded systems, power electronics, and innovative firmware design.
