• Defining and implementing KPI measurements to monitor software quality, reliability, and testing efficiency. 
• Creating reusable libraries, APIs, and services to support validation and testing activities across engineering teams. 
• Contributing to the evolution of software architecture, coding standards, and development methodologies. 

Embedded Systems Validation 

• Supporting all software testing activities from requirements management through test specification, implementation, execution, reporting, and defect tracking. 
• Analyzing CAN communication traces and system behavior to identify issues and improve product quality. 
• Working closely with software, electronics, and system engineering teams to ensure complete validation coverage. 

Tooling & Infrastructure 

• Working with modern development and testing tools in a Linux environment. 
• Utilizing Git, GitHub, Jira, Jenkins, and CI/CD pipelines to support efficient development and validation processes. 
• Integrating and utilizing debugging and analysis tools such as Lauterbach and SEGGER interfaces. 
• Supporting automation and infrastructure improvements for validation environments. 

Documentation & Reporting 

• Creating and maintaining technical documentation, including software architecture, test frameworks, operational procedures, and user guides. 
• Producing clear, traceable test reports and ensuring transparency of testing results. 
• Supporting knowledge sharing and continuous process improvement within the team.
