ABOUT SHUBHENDU GAUTAM
I\'m a Software Systems Architect with 17+ years building safety-critical automotive software for top Japanese and US OEMs - from SoC platform architecture and real-time RTOS systems (QNX/Linux) to radar-based perception pipelines and ISO 26262-compliant ADAS stacks.I hold an MBA from the Indian Institute of Management Lucknow (IIM-L)- one of India\'s top-3 business schools, established by Act of Parliament, with ~2% acceptance - which shapes how I approach engineering: not just as a technical problem, but as a product and business challenge. I\'ve led cross-functional teams, owned OEM customer relationships, driven warranty resolution under aggressive timelines, and translated complex system requirements into scalable, modular architectures.Core areas of depth:# Real-time embedded systems: QNX 7.0, Linux, SoC software architecture (C/C++17)# Sensor pipelines: radar point cloud processing, camera systems, ROS/ROS2 tooling# Functional safety: ISO 26262, FMEA, FTA, DRBFM - from requirements through validation# Leadership: cross-discipline teams, Japanese OEM engagement, architecture ownership# Business acumen: MBA-trained in strategy, operations, and product-market tradeoffs I\'m currently exploring Staff/Principal Architect and Manager of Engineering opportunities - where deep engineering expertise and business judgment compound.
