>Software Validation, Data Acquisition, Data Analysis, and Software Debugging- Leading Diagnostic Testing and Validation for all 83 ECUs with CAN, LIN, and Ethernet interfaces via testing on Engineering Vehicles and Vehicle Bucks.- Testing and validating ECU Software, Bootloader, Application, and Calibration for compliance with ISO 14229 (UDS), ISO 15765 (Diagnostic Communication over CAN), and ISO 13400 (Diagnostics over Internet Protocol).- Collect and analyze flash logs and network traffic data using Vector CANalyzer, Vector CANoe, Vector vFlash, Wireshark software, and Vector hardware.- Root-cause issues related to ECU Reprogramming, diagnostic communication, and gateway ECU communication and led improvements in reprogramming parameters and communication parameters by collaborating with ECU Engineers and Supplier Teams.- Root-caused major reprogramming failures with one of the radar ECUs and led an effort to modify the software with the supplier team. Reduced failure rate from around 40% to 0%.>Diagnostics Requirement Management- Serve as a Diagnostics Requirement Representative and collaborate with Software Integration Test Team, OTA Test Team, and ECU Engineers to ensure all the diagnostics requirements are met from a development and testing perspective.- Developed a Diagnostic DVP&R (Design and Verification Procedure and Report) to help ECU suppliers perform Diagnostic Testing as per Lucid requirements and provide a detailed report during the software release process. > Software Integration Progress Tracking and AnalysisDeveloped a DTC Tracker (Diagnostics Trouble Code) which maps active DTC across different software versions for all the ECUs on development vehicles. The tracker helped discover several issues on vehicles and visualize DTC trends across the sample vehicle group with changing software. Besides that, the tracker helped the Test Team replicate a major issue at the assembly plant's EOL (End of Line) and collect issue data.
