Project history

Software Test Architect

Owned end to end validation for 400–850V traction inverters, including torque/power limit tests, fault injection, and real-time monitoring.
•
Analyze and validate embedded control, monitoring and protection functions for high-voltage electric powertrain systems.
•
Defined the diagnostic test architecture for 3 EV programs (400–850V), implementing CAN/LIN/XCP automation in CAPL/Python and standardizing fault injection & DTC validation across all projects.
•
Maintain requirements traceability, test coverage and validation evidence using Jama, Jira and related engineering tools.
•
Authored technical RFQ responses and presented test solutions in client-facing proposal meetings.

Diagnostic Test Lead

Magna
Built comprehensive UDS & OBD test suites for next-gen ADAS ECUs, validating fault memory, bootloader flashing, and DTC behavior.
•
Designed automated test scripts in CAPL and vTestStudio, enabling 24/7 regression runs and reducing manual validation effort by 30%.
•
Collaborated with Magna's system engineering team to align test coverage with ISO 26262 safety requirements.
•
Analyzed requirements and ensured traceability between diagnostic specifications, test cases and results.
•
Coordinated defect analysis and technical clarification with development and system teams.

Software Tester, Software to Hardware Integration Tester

Huf-Group
(1 year and 7 months)

Software Tester, Software to Hardware Integration Tester
(Automotive Industry)

Projects: PSA - ESCL, VW Sliding Doors

The scope of the project is to test that all software interfaces have been correctly
specified and implemented. I wrote multiples tests based on requirements on different
levels. For software test, I used Renesas and Lauterbach debugger.
For subsistem integration test level, for data aquisitions,we use VT-Systems
Canoe(CAPL) scripts and osciloscopes.

System Test Engineer, Component Test Engineer

Honeywell
(3 years and 7 months)

System Test Engineer, Component Test Engineer
(Fire Industry)

Project:Fusion devices integration and validation

The scope of the project is to create a common bus for all existing fire devices on the
market owned by Honeywell and a solution for implementing new features on demand. I




was part of System Test team which developed most of the test environment and
different modules for simulating real life situations in automated way. The modules and
devices were controlled by python scripts in order to run testcases automatically.
Regarding component testing ,I used my experience to create new test capabilities of
the devices in a new environment. We use NI tools and hardware for data aquisition and
create a common ".dll" for importing most of the function wrote in python for system
testing.

* Create VI's in order to run automated tests
* Aquire signals and measurements and run testcases automatically in Teststand
sequences
* Develop and implement new functions in Labview libraries
* Analyze device requirements to determine test scenarios
* Designing scripts for automated testing
* Executing, debugging own automated scripts and evaluating the results of the
measurements
* Improve and implement new changes in the test process
* Program different uC and make use of sensors and servo-motors for interacting
with the environment(Arduino,RaspberryPi)

Technical Environment:
A customizable length loop with maximum 256 devices,Labview, Teststand , R&D
laboratories including most of the equipments suchs as osciloscopes, multimeteres ,
power supplys , climatic chambers, electronic loads.
The tools for comunication with the loop was OSB TestTool.

Test Engineer - Integrated manufacturing services

TT Electronics IMS
(1 year and 1 months)

Test Engineer - Integrated manufacturing services

* Analyze client requirements to define test coverage
* Create functional tests for components and products
* Modify test programs for In-Circuit-Tests
* Maintainance of test equipments (ICT, TAKAYA)
* Train operators for testing procedure
* Debug failed products

Technical Environment:
JET 3000 , Takaya , ROBOT




I also like to program by myself different things for home automation. I currently have a
few projects finished : Ambient Light (for TV) , Digital termostat , Automated Irigating
system for garden, wireless light controller and others. All of the projects are based on
arduino and raspberry pi uC .
