About
Automotive software engineer seeking ADAS simulation and validation, scenario-based testing or connected-vehicle software roles.
Automotive Software Engineer — ADAS Simulation, Validation & Vehicle Software
Automotive software engineer with an M.Sc. in Automotive Software Engineering (TU Chemnitz, 2026, grade 2.0). My master's thesis built a closed-loop Automatic Emergency Braking framework in CARLA — ECU-style Perception, Planning and Actuation components, a dynamic safety envelope handling latency, friction and perception uncertainty, and a custom detection-plus-depth network — evaluated across 7,847 braking episodes.

I am also hands-on with real-time CAN bus communication between distributed ECUs in a cloud-connected autonomous vehicle project, and with production backend development in secure REST APIs and relational data. I am looking for ADAS simulation and validation, scenario-based testing or connected-vehicle software roles in an English-speaking team.

Automotive & Systems Experience
Master's Thesis — Development and Analysis of Dynamic Brake State Scenarios in a Simulation Environment
08/2025 - 01/2026 — grade 2.0
Technische Universität Chemnitz, Chair of Computer Engineering
- Built a closed-loop Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) evaluation framework in the CARLA simulator, architected as communicating Perception, Planning and Actuation ECUs over a message-bus abstraction, with a deterministic timing model and a safety manager handling degraded behaviour.
- Designed a dynamic safety envelope combining measured control-loop latency, friction coefficient, detection confidence and range uncertainty, driving a multi-stage braking policy with time-to-collision confirmation gating, debouncing and hold/release logic.
- Developed a MobileNetV4-SSD network with a depth-regression head for joint object detection and per-detection ranging; benchmarked against YOLOv10, SSD and Faster R-CNN backends for accuracy against real-time latency.
- Implemented deceleration tracking with a PI brake controller and slip-aware ABS augmentation, plus telemetry export, structured logging and a graphical experiment launcher.
- Evaluated across 7,847 logged braking episodes: 0.25% collision rate and 25.70% nuisance-stop rate; ablation studies showed envelope parametrisation and range-estimation mode shift nuisance rates by nearly two orders of magnitude.
Research Internship — Real-Time CAN Bus Communication for a Cloud-Connected Autonomous Vehicle
10/2023 - 04/2024
Technische Universität Chemnitz
- Developed real-time CAN bus communication between Raspberry Pi nodes acting as ECUs, within a cloud-connected autonomous vehicle project.
- A camera-equipped central Pi streamed sensor data to a cloud service for analysis; returned commands were distributed to actuator ECUs over CAN.
- Implemented and tested the node-to-node CAN messaging layer in Python and C/C++, prioritising real-time responsiveness so the vehicle reacted immediately to detected objects.
- Worked with OpenCV-based vision input, debugging and modular development across four structured task modules. Repository
