Subash brings a diverse spectrum of industrial vehicle R&D experience, spanning from optimising purely mechanical systems to developing sophisticated embedded software solutions for automotive applications. After completing a BTech in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Calicut and an MTech in Engineering Design from Amrita University, Subash began his career in 2009 as a scientist at the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO)—one of India’s most prestigious central government organisations. There, he worked on analysing and optimising the kinematics of the hydro-pneumatic trailing arm suspension system for the Main Battle Tank.

After over six years in this role, Subash pursued further specialisation by studying Automotive Engineering at Cranfield University (2015-16), gaining specific expertise in Vehicle Dynamics Control applications. In 2017, he joined Continental Automotive as a Technical Specialist, initially working as a base developer for Active Yaw Control (AYC), a critical safety function within electronic braking systems. He advanced to the role of Senior Technical Architect, where he led a team in developing vehicle models for V&V testing and supported test automation efforts.

To continue advancing his expertise, Subash is currently pursuing a PhD in Cooperative Motion Control of Connected and Automated Vehicles from Jan 2022. He is passionate about sharing knowledge and currently offers a popular online course on Vehicle Dynamics & Control, alongside managing a YouTube channel dedicated to clarifying some of the automotive industry’s most challenging concepts.
