I’m a M.Sc. Engineer in Electronics and have mostly been consulting within R&D in the automotive industry since graduation 2006 from Chalmers. I have also covered many areas such as Hardware design, Embedded systems, FPGA programming, Bootloader applications, Graphical design and electrical harness design. Throughout the years I’ve experienced many international meetings and developed a deep knowledge of vehicle architecture, project-management, test management and electronics design. Areas of main interest, Electric vehicles, Climate, Test management, Embedded systems and fieldwork in general.
The story of the “Helge the robot”, a home project to design my own smart mobile baby monitor. The heart was a Raspberry Pi 2 rev C with a Pi Camera using an Arduino card to maneuver the robot. The Python interface used i2c to control the movements. The project was more of a software project than building cool robot features and looks, so I just glued the wheels with integrated engines on an old ice cream box and the controller cards just striped on the inside with the Camera raised on a straw. Final touch was a web interface to present Helge’s videostream and provide control buttons to move the robot.
For the last two years I’ve been employed at Evidente as a System Engineer, and my main focus is to help customers to adapt to new Standards and regulations. There is some attention on the Functional safety standards ISO-26262 for vehicles and the included validation tools in CI/CD environments. To verify the safety for embedded software releases I’m supporting Python scripts and configuration of build files together with safety documentation in SystemWeaver.
During the privious four years I have been working as a system designer at Mitsubishi Logisnext Europe AB (MLEAB), involved in the implementation of a new Functional safety standard, EN1175, for lift trucks. My role was leading the development of a new aftermarket tool for laptops, used by service technicians, production personnel and also by R&D for configuration, calibration and software update. The role included daily visits to the factory, fault tracing in production, security checks, diagnostics, software updates, demo-runs, investigations of tool-design, etc. Aftermarket product changes and designing the updates of new features in the electrical harnesses was done in an AutoCAD Electric.
Before this I was working as a Component Owner at CEVT (now Zeekr Technologies) for the Electronic A/C Compressor for electric/hybrid cars within Geely and Volvocars. The project leader role was mostly to ensure fulfillment of all hardware requirements, EMC, environmental, quality, etc. Also helping the test department with CAN-tools to control object in the lab.
Just before this I was assigned at Volvocars to help Emerald Automotive LTD to use Volvocars Battery Electric Control Module, BECM, for London Taxi Corp. These roles have been very challenging with plenty of international contacts and a great responsibility for holding together the team’s deliveries and keeping all parties satisfied, or at least informed.
Recently I was at Volvo 3P developing an IT-system for brake verification close together with end-users and hardware suppliers. The final product was a fully scalable test rig that could be controlled by a web interface on laptops, tablets or phones. A lot of field support for in-vehicle installations, fault tracing and analysis of test data was also covered for the Testing Technology dept.
Early in my career I also did some low-level C code hacking for embedded systems using a 16-bit processor for Volvo Technology. Setting up the low layers with bus interfaces and buffer management for vehicle communication for the diagnostic bus SAE J1587.
At SAAB Security and Defense Solutions I did some HMI user interfaces for air traffic controllers. The end product was a remote tower concept where the air traffic controllers could sit in a virtual location with big screens replacing the normal tower windows and control any airport with the help of a camera tower at the physical airport.
