Door Seat Module:

Door seat module control functionalities such as manual and memory modes, Easy Entry/Exit, Staggering, Rejuvenate, Auto Save, Pie Plate, and Power Pitch. DSM architecture and ECU interactions across DSM, BCM, DCU, CAPM, and GWM over MS-CAN and HS-CAN networks, along with implementing motor-control logic for multiple seat axes using 2A, 3A, and 8A motor drivers. Development, including arbitration, prioritization, soft-stop/stall protection, and precondition-based operations for secure movement execution. Additionally, it’s handling memory seat logic—including store/recall behavior, key-fob association, and enhanced profiles—while ensuring smooth HMI and CAN-based interactions for seat control. It's worked on integrating switch mechanisms, such as hardwired and LIN switches, including debouncing and diagnostics support. Developed scalable and maintainable code, ensuring long-term stability of the software.

• Integrated new technologies into existing systems, increasing capabilities and improving overall performance.

Responsibilities:

• Analyze functional and system requirements to ensure clarity, completeness, and testability for ECU software development.
• Design, develop, and maintain test cases for unit testing, feature testing, and system-level validation.
• Execute Model-in-the-Loop (MIL), Software-in-the-Loop (SIL), and Processor-in-the-Loop (PIL) testing to validate automotive software functionality.
• Perform coverage analysis, and generate coverage justifications to ensure sufficient test coverage of software models and code.
• Collaborate with clients, including design, software, and system engineers, to address defects, clarify requirements, and optimize models.
• Maintain traceability between requirements, models, test cases, and validation results to support compliance with automotive standards.
• Provide recommendations for model optimization and process improvements to enhance software reliability and development efficiency.
• Tools: JIRA, MATLAB, Simulink, Stateflow, SVN, GIT.

Wipers and Washers Project

• The windscreen washer system consists of several components: the wash water/fluid pump pumps the water/fluid from the water tank to the jets at the bottom of the windscreen and rear window. The jets spray the wash water onto the windscreen, where the wipers remove the water and dirt.
• A warning will display when the fluid level is low.
• There are three modes for the activation of wipers: Fast mode, intermittent mode, and Low mode. The wiper slow relay becomes active when any of the above modes become active. The wiper fast relay becomes active only when the fast mode becomes active. The wiper system shall return to, and remain in, the park position when the wiper switch is deactivated, or the ignition switch is turned off.

Responsibilities:

• Performed model-based development (MBD) for ECU software design and validation.
• Analyzed functional and system requirements to ensure completeness and testability.
• Developed and maintained test cases for unit testing and system validation.
• Executed Model-in-the-Loop (MIL) and Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) testing to verify software functionality.
• Conducted coverage analysis and prepared coverage justification reports to ensure sufficient test coverage of models and code.
• Maintained traceability between requirements, models, and test cases to support compliance with ASPICE.
• Collaborated with the client to resolve defects and clarify requirement ambiguities.
• Recommended model optimizations and process improvements to enhance software reliability and efficiency.
• Prepared test documentation, reports, and participated in review meetings to validate software quality.

Tools: JIRA, MATLAB, Simulink, Stateflow, DOORS.
