Monika Jaskolka is a Software Platform Architect Lead with a PhD in Software Engineering and over a decade of experience driving software architecture, toolchains, and model-based development in the automotive industry. Based in Ottawa, she has led architecture teams and platform initiatives at Stellantis, applying AUTOSAR, product line engineering, and variant management to simplify complex vehicle software across multiple domains like exterior lighting and recharging. She combines deep research-led expertise in Simulink/Stateflow and MBD—developing tooling, CI/CD processes, and VRAM analysis utilities—with hands-on delivery of safety-compliant workflows for ISO 26262 and ASPICE. Monika has a track record of translating academic research into production-grade tools, managing GitHub-based release processes and supplier hand-offs, and even building custom S-function C blocks for optimized code generation. Colleagues rely on her to bridge rigorous verification practices (MIL/SIL/PIL, coverage analysis) with pragmatic architecture decisions that reduce variant complexity across platforms. Her blend of research, tooling craftsmanship, and automotive systems thinking makes her adept at turning intricate models into auditable, maintainable software platforms.
