About Ronak Panchal

I am a graduate in Mechanical Engineering with more than 6 years of experience working with automobiles. My focus lies in Embedded Control Systems using Model-Based Development. I am dedicated to improving the efficiency, productivity, and profitability of organizations through the research and development, and execution of innovative solutions. For me, problem-solving is an exhilarating experience, and I enjoy being in a challenging environment.I have been a part of the FSAE Team \'Orion Racing India\' where a number of enthusiastic students come together to design, develop, test, and compete in a Formula-style open-wheel single-seater prototype Electric Race Car. I designed and developed a Single Motor Differential Transmission System and a test bench for performance testing and tuning the prime mover, motor controller, and battery pack of a racecar.Furthermore, I have a research experience of 1 year at ARAI (The Automotive Research Association of India) where I worked on the effect of optimized Steering knuckle (Lightweight Unsprung mass) on Vehicle Dynamics and Ride Quality. Currently, I am working at Cummins as a Technical Specialist in System Simulation where I contribute to the development of Software-in-Loop (SIL), Model-in-Loop (MIL), and primarily Controller/Hardware-In-Loop (CIL/HIL) system simulations:Programming - C| C++| Python| RSoftware and Tools - MATLAB| Simulink| Stateflow| NI LabView| OBDwiz| MotoHawk| MotoTune| Kvaser CanKing| Autocad| Solidworks| Creo| Ricardo Wave| Optimum Lap| MoTeC | MS Office Key Skills - Integral LQR| LQG| State Estimator| MIL| HIL| Embedded C Code Generation| CAN| OBD-II| ADAS| xEV Powertrain| Combustion Testing| Emission Testing| Calibration Having worked not only on a number of projects, but also participating in International Conferences and FSAE competitions throughout my studies, I have developed strong teamwork, communication, and leadership skills that I know are critical to the success of any team.I hope we along with our knowledge and skillsets implemented competently make this world a better place to live in.
