Blog — Biró István | Systems Engineering

Writing on systems engineering, AI-assisted development, and building things at the intersection of hardware and software. Posts are infrequent and long-form — no schedule, no padding. I write when I have something genuinely useful to say.

Systems Engineering
Requirements engineering, model-based systems engineering (MBSE), system architecture, and verification and validation. Drawn from practice in automotive E/E at Bosch and Jaguar Land Rover — real tooling (IBM DOORS, MSOSA, 3DEXPERIENCE), real project constraints, and the gap between what engineering standards prescribe and what teams actually do on a deadline. Practical work includes requirement decomposition from system to component level, interface specifications, and traceability coverage analysis — disciplines where tooling often lags behind engineering need.
AI-Governed Development
Designing workflows where AI agents implement and humans govern. The model: committed specifications in version control, implementation agents on isolated branches, verified artefacts, and human sign-off at every merge gate. This site is a working demonstration — every line of code was agent-generated from committed specifications, every decision is in the register. The governance toolkit behind this site is an example of that model in practice: specifications are committed before dispatch, branches stay isolated, and nothing reaches main without a human gate.
Building & Making
Hardware design, additive manufacturing, FEA and simulation, and small-series production — work from BWEngineering, the engineering studio I run alongside the day job. From concept to physical artefact, without outsourcing the understanding. Projects span early-concept validation through production-intent designs, with process documentation that makes decisions reproducible and failures instructive.
