Telematics & OTA/FOTA Validation
Validation of real-time telematics data including vehicle status, ignition, battery, fuel, GPS, and event-based alerts between cloud, ECU/TCU, and actual vehicle behaviour, including OTA/FOTA validation.
ADAS & Radar Testing
Analysis of requirements and authoring of test scenarios and test cases for ADAS and radar software, including testing of a 24 GHz steerable-antenna short-range radar system for blind-spot detection, parking aid, and collision avoidance.
Defect Management with JIRA & ALM
Logging and tracking of defects in JIRA and ALM, working closely with development teams to verify fixes through re-testing and regression cycles, and preparing test reports for cross-functional stakeholders.
Manual & Automated Testing (Functional, Regression, Smoke)
Execution of manual and automated testing including functional, regression, and smoke testing across multiple automotive domains and project cycles.
MQTT Protocol & IoT Testing
Knowledge of MQTT Protocol (Publisher/Subscriber) and IoT testing, applied in the context of telematics and cloud-based vehicle data validation.
Agile/Scrum Methodology
Application of Agile and Scrum methodologies throughout project cycles, enabling efficient collaboration with development and cross-functional teams.
Additional Tools: Lauterbach, DOORS, Polarion, PyCharm, Postman API, Git, Linux
Practical experience with a broad set of engineering tools including Lauterbach, DOORS, Polarion, PyCharm, Postman API, Git, DB Viewer, and Linux for embedded software testing and documentation.

Project history
Analysing live vehicle data streamed from the cloud to verify accuracy, reliability, and correct behaviour of motorcycle parameters. Validating real-time telematics signals including vehicle status, ignition, battery, fuel, GPS, and event-based alerts. Comparing ECU/TCU signals against actual vehicle behaviour to identify mismatches and data-quality issues. Supporting OTA/FOTA validation, ensuring data integrity before and after over-the-air software updates.
Analysed requirements and authored test scenarios and test cases for ADAS/radar software. Performed manual and automated testing (functional, regression, and smoke testing). Logged and tracked defects in JIRA; worked closely with developers to verify fixes through re-testing and regression cycles. Prepared test reports and communicated results to cross-functional stakeholders. Key project: Short Range Radar Detection (Blind Spot Detection) - tested a 24 GHz steerable-antenna SRR system used for blind-spot detection, parking aid, and collision avoidance (Mar 2024 - Nov 2024).
Designed and executed test cases from requirements; performed manual testing and defect reporting. Collaborated with development teams to resolve issues within tight timelines. Maintained test documentation and test reports across project cycles. Key project: LRR ADAS Domain Controller - tested time sync, bootloader, AUTOSAR, blockage-fault detection, authentication, CAN and UDS layers (BSW/RTE, SWE.2, SWE.5) for a long-range radar domain controller feeding vehicle speed, steering, and ABS actuators. Tools: Vector CANoe, Lauterbach, Trace32, DOORS (Aug 2022 - Nov 2023). Key project: Restraint Control Module (Ford) - tested airbag deployment via crash-file simulation, seatbelt buckled/unbuckled logic, RSUs, eCall, and battery-disconnect (STG/STB) scenarios on a fault-free bench setup, covering CAN and UDS. Tools: CANoe, Trace32, Polarion, ALM, JIRA (Oct 2020 - Jun 2022).
