Salman Ali

With 11+ years of experience in safety-critical automotive embedded software, I have worked across braking ECUs, HVAC motor control, body control and zonal controller platforms for global OEM and Tier-1 programs including Volvo, VW, Daimler, Renault-Nissan, Hyundai, Mahindra, Geely and ZF.

My expertise is centered around low-level firmware, platform software, hardware-software integration and system-level debugging for production-grade embedded systems.

I follow structured development practices aligned with ASPICE, V-model and ISO 26262 requirements, with strong focus on reliability, traceability, validation and maintainable software architecture.
