SW Test Engineer

Volo
Bangalore
07.2019 - 04.2021

Title: SRR

Client: Daimler

Tools : CANoe, VTestStudio, VFlash

Role : SW Test Engineer

Description:

The project is to implement the functionality of RADAR is to detect objects around CAR and give information to driver. This includes object detection, diagnostic testing of RADAR ECU. Diagnostic testing of all implemented services over CAN and Ethernet based on UDS.

System Test Engineer

MTSL
07.2022 - Current

Title : MCS (Mirror Camera System)

Client : Daimler, Iveco, Volta

Tools : Canoe, DLT viewer, Sale logic analyzer, Mem tool, Flash GUI, Venus flashing tool

Role : System Test Engineer


Description:

The main functionality of MCS is the driver will no longer need to rely on traditional mirrors for image capture. Instead, an LCD display will be installed inside the cabin, and a camera will be mounted outside the cabin to take pictures while keeping an eye on blind spots. The images will then be shown on the monitor. There will be two LCD displays on the driver's and passenger's sides, as well as two cameras mounted on each side. This product is designated ASIL-A by HARA and achieved 2% fuel economy. Avoiding visual freezing, image delay, and image flipping are the few safety objectives that have been established. This product's safe state is a black screen; if there is a system malfunction, the display will switch to an off state in 200 milliseconds.
