PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
High-impact Embedded QA & Systems Integration Engineer combining an analytical background in The-
oretical Physics with low-level systems engineering (C++, Python). Proven track record of owning full-
lifecycle quality verification and production gatekeeping for mission-critical robotic platforms, validating
over 1,600 heavy units (∼130 kg each) to date. Operates as an autonomous technical bridge between R&D
firmware architecture and high-throughput serial manufacturing, eliminating cross-layer hardware/soft-
ware failures and engineering automated validation pipelines under severe delivery constraints.

CORE TECHNICAL COMPETENCIES
• Robotics & Hardware Buses: ROS / ROS 2 nodes, CAN bus (CAN FD, CANopen diagnostics), EtherCAT
(evaluating), UART, SPI, RouterOS networking, TCP/IP, embedded telemetry.
• Software & Test Automation: Python (pytest, custom test frameworks, API automation), C++ (firmware
validation, memory/logic debugging), Linux/Unix shell scripting, Git CI/CD.
• Quality & Systems Engineering: Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing, End-of-Line (EOL) production
acceptance, Root-Cause Analysis (RCA), stress/vibration tolerance, failure mode mitigation.
• Analytical Modeling: Theoretical physics foundation, complex system dynamics, signal processing
logic, algorithm-level defect isolation.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
Hardware / Embedded QA Engineer | Systems Integration 2025 – Present
MilTech & Autonomous Robotics Manufacturing Lviv, Ukraine
• Autonomous Production Gatekeeping: Commanded comprehensive QA acceptance for ∼1,600
mission-critical robotic complexes (∼130 kg each), sustaining continuous throughput of up to 100 units/day
with a sub-1% field defect rate.
• Cross-Layer Root-Cause Analysis (RCA): Primary escalation authority across assembly lines and
R&D; diagnosed and resolved complex, intermittent faults across CAN bus packet loss, ROS communi-
cation latency, RouterOS packet routing, and firmware memory faults.
• Automated Test Engineering (24x Speedup): Architected and deployed an automated Python vali-
dation framework for a proprietary AI-driven diagnostic engine, compressing a 100+ scenario regression
test cycle from ∼2 hours to under 5 minutes.
• R&D to High-Volume Serial Alignment: Identified hardware-level component incompatibilities and
timing anomalies between experimental R&D prototypes and assembly batches; formulated actionable
architectural revisions preventing assembly bottlenecks.
• Test Infrastructure & Bench Setup: Designed customized testing benches and Hardware-in-the-
Loop (HIL) routines to simulate extreme load and communication stress on electro-mechanical actuators
and onboard compute nodes.
• Technical Mentorship & Standardization: Authored comprehensive diagnostic playbooks and men-
tored junior QA personnel in embedded troubleshooting, CAN telemetry decoding, and rigorous physical
verification standards.

EDUCATION
