Design and development of an industrial embedded control system to replace existing analog electronics with a robust, modular, real-time digital architecture.

The project covers architecture definition, low-level development, and integration of multiple microcontrollers, with a clear separation between critical real-time functions and configuration/communication functions.

Implementation of reliable inter-MCU communication protocols, including hardware synchronization, error detection (CRC), collision management, and secure parameter persistence.

The system was designed to operate without permanent network connectivity, with controlled activation of external interfaces as needed.

The entire software was developed with an industrial/safety logic: determinism, fault tolerance, fine-grained timing management, and ease of maintenance.

On this assignment, I handled the complete electronic design, focusing on power consumption management to ensure a battery life of over 5 years. I also developed the embedded firmware, integrating Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), and LoRaWAN communications, with an MQTT-based communication protocol.

I also assisted the client in the industrial process, helping to identify a suitable manufacturer and contributing to the setup of mass production.

Diesel engine monitoring and control using OBD port. The idea was to build a data collection and analytic system for Diesel Engines with Edge technology. The system analyzes and sends information to a cloud platform in case of an emergency or uncomprehensive result.
