Summary

With 3+ years of IT experience in the Automotive Industry, I have been integral in the validation phase of the software tester lifecycle. Proficient in tools like Canoe, troubleshooting, and raising bugs, I possess expertise in infotainment and protocols such as CAN, CAN TP, and UDS Protocols. I am adept at preparing test cases and validating Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs). Additionally, I excel in bench setup preparation and CAPL scripting, with a strong grasp of communication protocols like CAN, CAN TP, and UDS. My experience includes phone projection testing on infotainment using Android Auto and Car Play, as well as testing navigation features comprehensively. I am skilled in collecting various logs and validating HMI features with CAPL. Handling real-time defects like black screen issues and bug tracking/reporting using JIRA are among my strengths. I've performed a range of testing including smoke, regression, and ad-hoc testing, and have exposure to National Instruments and HIL bench setups. My experience extends to automation processes and validating vehicle safety features like door ajar warnings, child safety locks and seat belt warnings.
