Shalini Prabhakar — Embedded Software Engineer

Chennai, Tamil Nadu

Embedded software engineer with nine years on motor control and battery management firmware for electric two-wheelers. Wrote the state-of-charge estimator now running on 180,000 vehicles, which has held under 2% error through its third Indian summer.

Experience

Senior Embedded Software Engineer, Vaanam Mobility Systems · June 2021 – present

Battery management and motor controller firmware for two electric two-wheeler platforms.

Wrote the state-of-charge estimator shipping on 180,000 vehicles, holding error under 2% where the previous coulomb-counting model drifted to 11%.
Cut controller boot time from 1.9s to 260ms by executing calibration tables in place and deferring diagnostics to the first idle window.
Built the over-the-air update path with A/B partitions and rollback; 94% of the fleet now takes a release in ten days, against a dealer visit before.
Closed an ISO 26262 ASIL-B gap analysis on the regenerative braking path, taking the audit from 23 findings to none over two cycles.

Embedded Engineer, Thendral Micro · March 2018 – May 2021

Ported a sensor stack from bare metal to FreeRTOS across four board revisions, cutting missed CAN frames from 400 a day to 3.
Reduced standby draw from 18mA to 0.7mA on an industrial gateway, taking field battery life from five months to four years.
Built the hardware-in-the-loop rig that replaced bench testing by hand, running 240 regression cases every night.

Firmware Engineer, Meghadoot Instruments · July 2015 – February 2018

Delivered the Modbus interface for a water-pump controller installed at 2,600 sites, ending a recurring class of calibration site visits.
Cut a motor-drive interrupt handler from 40 microseconds to 9, which let the control loop move from 4kHz to 16kHz.

Why this Embedded Software Engineer résumé works

Each bullet is measured in the units firmware is judged by: boot time “from 1.9s to 260ms”, standby draw from 18mA to 0.7mA, an interrupt handler from 40 microseconds to 9. That precision is the skill being hired.
Field scale is stated plainly: the state-of-charge estimator runs on 180,000 vehicles with error under 2%, against 11% drift from the coulomb-counting model it replaced.
Safety work is named by standard and level: the ISO 26262 ASIL-B gap analysis taken from 23 findings to none, which is what an automotive employer screens for.
The Patents section lists two applications filed with the Indian Patent Office, one covering the thermal model on 180,000 vehicles, which gives a senior engineer evidence of original design beyond delivery.

Embedded Software Engineer résumé: common questions

What skills should an embedded software engineer resume include?

Group them as languages (C, C++, Python, Rust), platforms (ARM Cortex-M, FreeRTOS, Zephyr, CAN), and practice (ISO 26262, hardware-in-the-loop testing, low-power design, bootloaders and OTA). Back each one with a bullet.

How long should a senior embedded engineer resume be in India?

Two pages for nine or more years of experience. Keep personal details to contact information and skip a photo, date of birth and declaration line unless the employer asks for them.
