Project : Online Connectivity Unit 4 (Volkswagen- MEB Platform)

• Improved in-car test coverage by leading TRXM and OCU4 validation on VW ID models.
• Reduced verification risk by owning backend MSDS checks for ROA iCall and emergency services.
• Strengthened eCall service reliability through pan-European emergency services testing across variants.
• Minimised routing errors by validating O-econ server logs using VOCS voice routing.
• Accelerated release readiness through full-cycle and delta acceptance testing on vehicle and test bench.
• Increased trace usefulness by setting recording standards for OCU4 TRXM and ICAS3 traces.
• Decreased validation rework by challenging assumptions via Europe-wide test-driving runs.
• Improved onboarding continuity by controlling unit readiness with SOK and DLC key provisioning.
• Supported smooth onboarding for offshore delivery by managing remote setup delivery for Indian crew.
• Raised test discipline by governing Vector CANoe, ODIS, and CPTool serial 2 tooling execution.
• Enabled consistent system updates by delivering flashing outcomes using DoIP CAN python and IFU USB tools.

Project: Instrument Cluster (Audi & Volkswagen)

• Improved SIA tankinhalt and wegstrecke verification by developing targeted test cases.
• Reduced integration risk by validating Audi and Volkswagen clusters 43 and 46 through testing.
• Supported reliable acceptance by completing vehicle and bench tests for cycle and delta.
• Strengthened issue diagnosis by recording and examining ICAS3 traces using ESO trace viewer.
• Enabled timely validation by bringing isolated test benches online via SOK and DLC keys.
• Accelerated offshore delivery by providing remote setup, KT, and execution collaboration.

Project: Online Connectivity Unit 3 (Volkswagen-MQB PL)

• Conducted end-to-end online connectivity unit 3 tests on Volkswagen MQB platform vehicles.
• Verified telematics, FOTA, OTA flows, and car2x features with MBB.
• Validated eCall, pan-eCall next-generation, private SOS, and PSAP delivery paths.
• Tested car2x security, including HMI privacy-level message handling with Tm.
• Executed media feature tests for FM/DAB, USB music, and CarPlay/Android Auto.
• Performed remote feature verification through BlueLink connectivity across vehicles.
• Performed emergency feature testing covering pan-eCall next generation and private SOS.
• Checked eCall O-econ server logs for MSD delivery through IVS and in-band modem.
• Logged defects, collected serial logs, and retrieved Ethernet, AP, and MCU logs.
• Performed KL15 drive tests with clamp30 on/off, including CAN sleep checks.
• Ran sanity checks, full validation, and MQTT-based regression test preparations.
• Prepared test and regression reports and tracked defect status in tools.

Project: Telematics FUSO Onboard Validation

• Validated tele diagnostics for eCanter 2.1 using CAN and diagnostics routines.
• Executed end-to-end telematics feature testing with ESS communications and signal streaming.
• Built OTA campaign on Daimler server and triggered software updates.
• Captured defects by logging issues and collecting USB logs for analysis.
• Pulled USB logs via VN1630 using DLT Viewer for clearer diagnostics trails.
• Reviewed software requirements and specifications in DOORS before test execution.
• Ran quick verification sanity tests and full validation on MQTT workflows.
• Prepared test reports and regression test reports after completing each validation pass.
• Tracked defects in Jira defect management tool through triage and follow-up.

Project: Telematics FUSO Onboard Validation

• Own infotainment connectivity test coverage for telematics control unit, drive assist, HVAC, seats, and park assist components.
• Lead requirements analysis by mapping vehicle architecture features to test objectives and interfaces.
• Account for telematics module testing covering e-call, PSAP, pan-EU e-call, B-call, OTA, and USB.
• Coordinate end-to-end telematics and drive assist validation via V-next server over IVC, bench and in-vehicle.
• Oversee LDWS, seat, EV, ambient lightning, and carwings feature tests against defined acceptance targets.
• Set up part authentication and bootstrapping using certificate, partition, and region download mechanisms.
• Drive functionality sign-off for emergency call, ACN, X-call, and back-end USB communication scenarios.
• Manage OTA end-to-end firmware testing using Harman server to validate deployed update behaviour.
• Own defect logging to supplier and manage follow-up to close out fixes.
• Define quick verification, sanity, and full validation test execution using MQTT and traceability.
• Establish test report preparation and Python-based scripting support for test automation consistency.
• Own ECU scope for telematics control unit, BCM, TXRM, and ADAS during validation planning.
