Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJilay Pandya is an embedded systems and control software engineer with 3 years of professional experience, currently building control systems and scalable software architectures at Carl Zeiss SMT in Ulm. He specializes in Zephyr RTOS—contributing drivers, tests and emulators upstream and serving as a Zephyr TSC member and maintainer of the Stepper Driver subsystem. Jilay blends hands-on hardware bring-up and measurement troubleshooting with designing modular, safety-conscious software for medical and precision equipment, including IEC 62304 and ISO26262 contexts. He has a strong background in low-level ARM Cortex-M development, static analysis CI integration, and team coaching through in-house Zephyr trainings. Notably, his upstream contributions include adding LTC2990 sensor support and improving ZBus benchmarks in the widely used zephyrproject-rtos repository. He holds an M.Sc. in Mechatronics from FH Aachen and brings a systems-thinking approach that bridges mechanical, electrical and software domains.
