Senior SDET and Test Architect specializing in safety-critical embedded V&V and test automation.
IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a results-driven Senior SDET and Test Architect with 15+ years of experience in Verification & Validation (V&V) of Safety-Critical Embedded Systems across Automotive, Railway, and Aerospace domains.
I specialize in Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) testing and Software Integration & Qualification Testing (SWE.5/SWE.6), and I build automation frameworks using Python and Robot Framework to improve regression speed and coverage.
I’ve led end-to-end validation programmes, coordinated defect management and RCA, and served as a technical point of contact for strategic customers—driving up to 80% manual-to-automation conversion.
In my recent work, I performed SWE.6 validation for automotive IVI systems (including QNX-based system testing and Hardware Security Module validation) while ensuring compliance with Automotive SPICE process requirements. I also established keyword-driven test architectures and automated traceability reporting to help teams deliver reliably against functional safety standards.
