I lead automotive embedded testing, AUTOSAR validation, and quality automation.
What I'm looking for
I've delivered embedded system testing and AUTOSAR validation for General Motors airbag modules, including system-level qualification, software debugging, HIL setups, and CAN/CAN-FD network analysis. My work spans functional, smoke, regression, manual, and automated testing for safety and infotainment products.
Across Veoneer, Wipro, and Bosch projects, I've supported GM, Daimler, Panasonic, and Jaguar infotainment and safety systems. I lead test planning, automation framework development, requirements reviews, defect management, ASPICE-aligned documentation, and QMS execution, using CANoe, CANalyzer, CAPL, UDS, Code Beamer, and PTC Integrity.
I'm an Agile and Scrum practitioner who leads teams, recruits and onboards engineers, delivers knowledge-transfer sessions, and partners with developers, system engineers, quality teams, and stakeholders to improve test cycles and product quality.
