About Pratik Ambegaonkar

Engineering professional with 9+ years of experience in automotive electronics, embedded systems, and IoT hardware, specializing in hardware and system requirements engineering, system architecture, and compliance-driven product development.I have hands-on experience in defining and decomposing requirements with end-to-end traceability using Cradle, JIRA, and Cameo, ensuring alignment to ISO 26262 and ASPICE (SYS.4 / HWE.1) processes. I contribute across the development lifecycle including HSID / interface definition, DFMEA and WCCA inputs, hardware verification planning (DVP & R), and integration of cybersecurity measures such as secure boot readiness, JTAG lock, and TRNG controls.My domain exposure includes Rotary Gear Shifters, ePumps, Brake Modules, Smart Clusters, and HVAC IoT devices. I am recognized for driving structured engineering execution through strong cross-functional collaboration with hardware design, software, safety, validation, and system teams to deliver traceable, robust, and production-ready solutions.
