Implement signal processing algorithms including:

Kalman Filter for altitude smoothing

CFAR algorithms for clutter and false detection reduction

Work on FPGA interfacing (Spartan-6) and VHDL-based hardware implementation.

Perform simulation and modeling using MATLAB.

5. Qualification, Testing & Validation

Plan and execute environmental and EMI/EMC qualification testing.

Conduct system-level functional testing and hardware-in-loop validation.

Support flight test campaigns and certification trials.

Ensure compliance with aerospace quality frameworks (AS9100D, IMTAR-21, FAR-23).

6. Program & Stakeholder Management

Lead cross-functional teams (Design, Manufacturing, Quality, Supply Chain).

Drive Agile-based avionics development as a Certified SCRUM Master.

Coordinate with defence stakeholders, certification agencies, and aircraft OEMs.

Manage BOM finalization, obsolescence planning, and vendor alignment.

Ensure adherence to cost, schedule, and technical baselines.
