Undergraduate Engineer

• Jun 2018 - Dec 2018

Software Architecture, Systems and SoftwareAs part of my MEng Project, I ported a supplier-developed firmware and communications stack to a new microcontroller platform, as part of a JLR R&D project investigating the use of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) software design principles for automotive applications. This allowed flexible deployment of hard real-time software, e.g. brake/steer by wire and active suspension damping systems, across vehicle domains over a range of hardware platforms. I fed back the knowledge I gained and lessons learned to JLR's software architecture team and provided introductory documentation and demos. I received an A grade for this project.I gained an understanding of middlewares in an automotive context; I used this knowledge to support JLR software developers using a supplier-developed middleware for virtual machines on-vehicle. I also developed demos using the middleware and provided feedback to the supplier regarding bugs and issues using JIRA.Technologies:-Embedded systems-Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS)-Service oriented architecture (SOA)-Software architecture design-Distributed computing-Real-time UDP networking-Time sensitive networking (TSN)-Embedded C, C++, and Arm assembly programming
