PROFILE
Lucas Zahlan
Lucas Zahlan developed and enhanced embedded firmware for the concordia-fsae/firmware repository, focusing on battery management systems and vehicle control modules. Over three months, he expanded GPIO pin multiplexing and redefined hardware configuration to support flexible, future-proof integration. Using C programming and embedded systems expertise, Lucas aligned GPIO naming with datasheet specifications to reduce misconfiguration risk and implemented a precharge timer to improve BMS safety. He also addressed a critical bug in BMS contact cycling logic, refining state management to ensure reliable power sequencing. His work demonstrated depth in firmware development, hardware-software alignment, and safety-critical control logic implementation.

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.
