Nagaraju Thirunahari

I’m a Results-driven Automation Engineer with 4+ years of experience in automotive infotainment testing, focused on Python-based automation using Appium, Robot Framework, and Pytest. I’ve consistently helped teams increase automation test coverage by 80% by building data-driven frameworks and executing end-to-end validation across multiple infotainment domains.

I automate across Media, Audio, Android Auto, CarPlay, Bluetooth, Climate, HMI, S2R, and OTA using scalable, maintainable test suites. Leveraging Appium to extract UI elements from Android applications and integrating UIAutomator, image processing, and OCR, I improve reliability and enable early defect detection.

I also design automation CI/CD workflows with Jenkins pipelines and accelerate releases in Agile environments. From OTA software update testing to HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) validation on real automotive interfaces, I log and track defects in Elvis and deliver clear test execution reports to keep stakeholders aligned.

My work extends into automotive diagnostics and tooling as well, including CAN and UDS (ISO 14229) validation and troubleshooting. I was recognized with the BE-BRILLIANT Award for outstanding automation quality and reliability, and I’m proud to support global OEM clients like John Deere, Harley Davidson, and Ferrari.
