Senior Automotive Validation Engineer at Cognizant supporting Stellantis, with CAN/LIN testing across 7 vehicle programs and Python automation that cut testing time 30%.

United States

Message

At Cognizant, I lead CAN and LIN Network Management testing for Stellantis across 7 North American vehicle programs and 2 vehicle architectures. I develop Master Test Plans and maintain traceability from requirements through test results and defects.

I configure dSPACE and NI VeriStand HIL benches and execute vehicle-level validation for features including ADAS, body electronics, and infotainment. I also mentor validation engineers and coordinate issue triage with engineering stakeholders.

At Caterpillar, I developed and validated engine-control software using HIL benches, Python scripts, and CAN and SAE J1939 protocols. Earlier, I developed semi-automated Python scripts at Cognizant that reduced feature testing time by 30%, and contributed to continuous-testing deployment across 8 vehicle programs for Ford.
