Hello, World! I am
Dr. Poom Kongniratsaikul
Test Manager & System Integration Expert
I am a multifaceted engineer with a cross-domain background spanning computers, programming, robotics, and quality assurance. Backed by real academic and industrial experience, I bridge the gap between hardware and software to ensure robust, high-quality systems from prototype to production.
My core focus is on developing comprehensive test strategies and automation frameworks for embedded systems. With deep expertise across all levels of testing, my true strengths lie in Integration and System Testing—whether that means SiL, HiL, or validation on real hardware. I have led testing efforts for a wide range of innovative products, including Smartglasses, advanced sensors, ECUs, and automotive headlamps. I am a collaborative, solutions-oriented professional dedicated to driving excellence within dynamic engineering teams.
