Responsibilities

Architect and deploy cloud-based OTA pipelines that support concurrent updates across multiple vehicle modules (e.g., ADAS, BCM, PCM, telematics, ect)

Develop, test, and maintain robust update applications and scripts—packaged as standalone executables or containerized services—that automate version control and validation

Collaborate with diagnostics and validation teams to define firmware validation criteria, leveraging tools such as DET, ValueCAN, Vector, and CANalyzer to verify update integrity

Coordinate with electrical test engineers to schedule in-vehicle or bench-top flashing sessions that align with production milestones and minimize plant downtime

Monitor real-time telemetry and performance metrics during OTA rollouts, analyze diagnostic logs for error codes (DTCs), and drive continuous improvement of update success rates

Document all OTA procedures, test plans, and post-update verification steps in TestRail, JIRA, or equivalent platforms to ensure audit readiness and traceability

Provide in-plant support for troubleshooting update failures, performing partial recoveries, and executing manual recovery procedures when automated processes encounter exceptions

Train cross-functional teams on OTA best practices, including in-plant infrastructure setup and update scheduling fostering a culture of collaboration and operational excellence
