About

As a System Software Validation Engineer at Intel, I bring over 10 years of experience in software validation, integration, and debugging, with a focus on ATE test platforms and tester stacks. My work includes developing and executing comprehensive test plans, automating test cases using C, and performing various testing techniques such as white-box, black-box, integration, and functional testing. Collaborating with peers, I ensure robust validation and debugging across the software stack. Previously, I contributed to ECU validation and HIL test automation at Mercedes-Benz Research and Development India and software integration for engine management systems at Bosch. My expertise spans test code development, validation of OBD-II features, and low-level device driver development. Proficient in C and C++, I am committed to delivering reliable software solutions through meticulous testing and validation practices. System Software Validation Engineer with thorough hands-on experience in Integration, Validation and Debugging of the Software across the stack for a specific product, platform and feature. Worked on test software development, integration based on different modules and testing (including performance, black-box, white-box, unit test, integration and functionality check and user acceptance testing). Good communication, quick learner, team player, positive attitude, strong decision maker, aptitude, research/analysis skills, versatile and adaptable and able to work with cross functional teams.
