PROFILE
Lucas Zahlan
Worked on the concordia-fsae/firmware repository, delivering enhancements and fixes for embedded vehicle control and battery management systems. Focused on C programming and firmware development, the work included expanding GPIO pin multiplexing and improving hardware configurability to support evolving vehicle architectures. Addressed safety and reliability by aligning GPIO naming with datasheet specifications and implementing a precharge timer in the BMS, reducing misconfiguration risk and enforcing safe precharge durations. Refined contact cycling logic in the BMS to ensure stable power management, demonstrating attention to safety-critical state management and threshold-based control. Emphasized maintainability and traceability across hardware and software integration.

May 1, 2025May 2025: Delivered a targeted BMS contact cycling bug fix for the firmware repository concordia-fsae/firmware, tightening trigger conditions to improve stability and safety of the power management system. The change ensures cycling occurs only when (MC is valid and traction system voltage is above threshold) or (charger is valid and DC bus voltage is above threshold), reducing false cycling and wear on contacts. This work enhances reliability for safe startup/shutdown sequencing and fault tolerance of the BMS subsystem.
