TAE Power Solutions | United States

Mrs. Soujanya Reddy Annapareddy is a seasoned Firmware Automation and Software Test Engineer with over 7.5 years of professional experience in embedded systems testing, automation frameworks, and data-driven validation methodologies. Her research and professional interests lie at the intersection of firmware validation, automation engineering, and intelligent system testing, focusing on how advanced test automation techniques enhance the performance, reliability, and scalability of embedded and IoT systems. At TAE Power Solutions, she has contributed to the automation and validation of Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) control platforms, integrating hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) environments and open-source frameworks such as PyTest, pandas, and matplotlib to improve regression coverage and testing efficiency. Her work explores the application of data analytics, fault-injection methods, and CI/CD pipeline integration in firmware testing to ensure real-world performance and fault tolerance. Her prior experience at Google Inc. involved automation testing for Android devices, wearable technologies, and data center systems, where she developed automation scripts in Python, Go, and C++, applied object-oriented design principles, and leveraged tools such as Mobly, Blueberry, and Buganizer for large-scale system validation. Soujanya’s analytical research focuses on automated testing frameworks, system-level reliability modeling, and signal strength optimization in wireless and connectivity domains. Methodologically, she employs Python-based automation, statistical analysis, and cloud-integrated validation frameworks, with hands-on experience in Linux environments, GCP cloud infrastructure, and RF system automation. Her interdisciplinary expertise bridges firmware engineering, test analytics, and computer science, offering insights into how automation accelerates innovation in embedded systems. Soujanya holds a Master of Science in Computer Technology from Eastern Illinois University and a Bachelor of Technology in Electronics and Communication Engineering from Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University Hyderabad (JNTUH), where she graduated with distinction. Her academic projects and industrial research underscore her commitment to advancing intelligent automation, embedded testing, and data-driven system optimization in modern technology ecosystems.
