Rassel DSouza

I'm a System Development and Application Engineer with a robust background in automotive electronics, functional calibration, and vehicle diagnostics. With over 7 years of industry experience across Germany and India, I specialize in developing, testing, and optimizing hybrid vehicle functions, calibration strategies, and diagnostic systems.

At FEV Europe GmbH, I played a key role in the calibration and implementation of hybrid functions such as Start-Stop systems and charging strategies, while also driving efficiency improvements through automated testing. Previously at Bosch Global Software Technologies, I led the calibration and delivery of critical ECU software components for Bharat Stage 6 vehicles and introduced streamlined validation processes to minimize commissioning issues. Worked on development of BS6 Projects with Bosch Ltd, India, where my responsibilities include developing, testing and ECU calibration to suit the customer requirement, Dataset management, sub-Project management, Vehicle Calibration and resolving Customer issues. Acted as a customer service point of contact for calibration topics, answering any questions they may have regarding the calibration process.

Armed with a strong academic foundation—holding an M.Tech in Automotive Electronics from BITS Pilani and a B.Eng in Mechanical Engineering—I bring expertise in MATLAB, Simulink, EXAM, and Python, alongside hands-on experience with industry tools like INCA, CANalyzer, dSPACE, and HiL systems.

Master Thesis: "Simulation of PHEV Clutch for a closed-loop HiL application"
•In the master thesis, the results were validated by detailed simulations of real-time tests in the HiL system
•The conclusions showed that the developed clutch model accurately reproduces the dynamic behaviour and significantly
improves the optimisation of the control strategies
•The results showed a correlation coefficient of 0.9437 during the operation of the clutch
