Chandra Sekar is a dedicated Software Development Engineer in Test (SDET) at Silicon Labs, specializing in the design, development, and rigorous testing of embedded software. With a primary focus on media layers (OSI layers 1, 2, and 3), Chandra plays a pivotal role in ensuring robust communication protocols, including Bluetooth, BLE, Z-Wave, ZigBee, and Wi-Fi. His expertise lies in translating complex functional specifications and requirements into comprehensive test plans that not only meet industry standards but also enhance the overall quality of the software.
In his current role, Chandra is instrumental in developing and supporting a Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) automated regression environment. This involves setting up and configuring advanced test equipment, which is crucial for maintaining the integrity of firmware and embedded software. He leverages his proficiency in programming languages such as Python and Java to design and develop innovative tools, simulators, and test frameworks that streamline the testing process.
Chandra's commitment to performance improvement is evident in his ability to design, develop, and debug tests that verify the functionality of embedded systems. He maintains a rigorous smoke and regression testing regimen, ensuring that any updates or changes to the software do not compromise its reliability. With a solid foundation in Embedded Linux and Software Quality Assurance, coupled with experience in cloud technologies like Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Chandra is well-equipped to tackle the challenges of modern embedded software development. His contributions not only enhance product quality but also drive innovation within the organization, making him a valuable asset to the Silicon Labs team.
