Responsibilities
Work with cross functional teams to integrate hardware and software components on various vehicle platforms
Drive the development and use of in-vehicle and off-vehicle diagnostic tools
Identify, document and highlight cross-functional gaps and dependencies - proactively work towards creative solutions to resolve integration issues and ensure vehicle functionality
Deep-dive into vehicle log data and source code if required to root-cause system-level issues and facilitate rapid issue resolution in collaboration with domain experts
Support preliminary functional verification of ADAS-related SW releases on various test vehicle platforms prior to hand-off to development & validation teams
Prototype tools and solutions to accommodate rapid development and to bring efficiency (IE. Python scripts and parsing vehicle data)
Review vehicle data and correlate data with requirements
Review and analyze large datasets from vehicle logs utilizing platforms like Databricks and Hex to correlate vehicle performance with requirements and develop insightful Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), particularly for DTC reporting
Accelerate the utilization of Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) for early integration testing, resulting in a significant reduction in vehicle regressions. Responsibilities include collaborating with the HIL team to expand smoke and regression testing capabilities, defining and implementing new test cases, managing the test environment (e.g., test branches), and ensuring clear, actionable reporting on test results
Drive continuous improvement in DTC reliability and definition by identifying cases of falsely triggering DTCs due to timing/bootup issues and pushing for clear documentation on what triggers a DTC, its faults, and feature/vehicle impacts
Own diagnostic readiness for vehicle platforms which includes regression testing on vehicle and HIL to ensure the appropriate DTCs/RIDs/DIDs are correctly implemented to support debugging, build readiness, factory routines, and service
Find gaps and work towards filling them with engineering solutions or implementing processes. Incorporate automation and leverage AI to improve efficiency and drive faster development
