I build automated validation frameworks for EV, ADAS, and embedded systems.

What I'm looking for

I'm open to Test Engineer and QA roles in embedded, e-mobility, or safety-critical domains, with remote or hybrid work options.

At Spyrosoft, I develop automated HIL test frameworks for high-voltage EV traction inverters and lead diagnostic test design for ADAS systems.

I build reusable CAPL and Python automation for torque limits, thermal logic, voltage derating, UDS services, fault injection, DTC triggering, bootloader flashing, and OBD verification.

Across ALTEN, Huf Group, Honeywell, and TT Electronics, I've validated embedded control software, automotive door and steering-lock systems, fire-safety devices, and electronic products. My work spans SIL and HIL environments, system requirements, hardware debugging, and CANoe-based test infrastructure.

With over 10 years in software validation, I bring a structured, pragmatic approach to traceability, ISO 26262, ASPICE, and safety-critical testing.
