Suresh Jayagondar is an Embedded Engineer with 18 years of experience across aircraft and electric vehicle development. He began his career in 2007 on the 787 Power Distribution Verification team and later contributed to major programs such as the Bombardier C Series and Embraer E2 at Hamilton Sundstrand (now Collins Aerospace), focusing on system and software design and test equipment development for safety-critical systems. For the past decade, he has led R&D initiatives in electric propulsion for aerospace.
In 2019, Suresh joined Electric Power Systems (EPS), where he led the end-to-end development of Battery Management System (BMS) software for primary propulsion—the first such system to pursue aerospace certification. He oversaw architecture definition, safety analysis, verification strategy, and overall certification planning. In parallel, he built and managed high-performing multidisciplinary teams across the US and India, establishing processes for model-based development, continuous integration, and requirement-driven design. He played a key role in aligning software, hardware, systems engineering, and program management teams to deliver a scalable, reliable, and certifiable electric propulsion platform adopted by multiple aircraft programs.
Beyond his core roles, he actively explores advanced methods for efficient embedded system development and certification for next-generation aerospace products. He holds a bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering from India.
