• Early tenure – Validation & tools
• Performed bench validation of automotive ECUs, executing functional test cases, OTA update checks, and bootloader flashing/rollback scenarios to verify alignment with customer requirements and specifications.​
• Ran UDS service tests (session control, data readouts, DTC handling, routines, DIDs/RIDs) to confirm correct diagnostic behavior, protocol compliance, and fault handling.​
• Documented validation outcomes, logged deviations and defects, and used Vector CANoe, CANalyzer, JIRA, ClearQuest, and ClearCase for test execution, analysis, and version/issue tracking.​
• Mid tenure – Automation, analysis & traceability
• Developed Python scripts within the NATS framework to automate requirement-based test cases, increasing coverage, repeatability, and efficiency of ECU validation
• Translated customer and system requirements into executable test logic and maintained requirement-to-test mapping to provide clear visibility of coverage and gaps
• Applied Astrée static analysis to embedded C code, worked with developers to interpret and resolve alarms, and contributed to stronger MISRA-oriented code quality and robustness
• Maintained requirement traceability in IBM Rational DOORS and participated in cross-functional requirement reviews to clarify specifications and strengthen the validation strategy
• Later tenure – Integration & customer delivery
• Assisted Git repository management (branch merges, minor conflict resolution), executed smoke and regression tests on integrated builds, and maintained integration documentation such as release notes and commit histories.​
• Monitored CI/CD pipelines and build health, reporting and following up on build/test failures to keep integration flows stable.​
• Investigated customer-reported issues, reproduced problems on internal setups, supported root-cause analysis, and fed learnings back into test cases and automation, forming a strong foundation for later senior integration and automation responsibilities
