As a Test Automation Engineer, I support the offshore test automation team in validating DAVIE4, DAF’s diagnostic tool, by maintaining and enhancing Jenkins-based test pipelines. I orchestrate weekly regression and smoke tests, automate manual tasks, and develop tools and proof-of-concepts, including BDD component tests for diagnostics content. I ensure test benches and diagnostic devices are always operational, manage simulation hardware (VCI, HSX, TCS), and act as a Scrum Master to facilitate Agile practices and resolve technical issues.

Key Responsibilities:

• Maintain and improve the test automation framework for DAVIE4 diagnostics validation.
• Develop and execute Jenkins pipelines for automated daily/weekly smoke and regression testing.
• Build Robot Framework BDD proof-of-concepts for component testing of diagnostics content.
• Maintain test environments and manage test assets (VCIs, truck simulation hardware).
• Provide validated test data in collaboration with diagnostics test specialists.
• Coordinate cross-team activities and support Agile processes.
• Troubleshoot hardware issues (e.g., VCI disconnections) and lead upgrades (e.g., HSX to TCS).
• Support updates to QF test libraries and development of carryover system tests.

Key Achievements:

• Smoke Tests Trigger Pipeline: Automated monitoring and job generation for new DAVIE4 content using dynamic Jenkins pipelines.
• Orchestration Pipeline: Created a configurable pipeline to select installers, test suites, and machines, dynamically balancing loads and optimizing node usage.
• VCI Management Tools: Developed AutoIt3 tools for firmware status checks and automatic updates, integrated into Jenkins.
• VCI Reset Device: Prototyped a relay-based USB/OBD2 reset system controllable from Jenkins.
• TCS Autoloader (C++): Built a tool to automatically load simulation files onto TCS hardware via API.
• Dynamic Response Generator (Python): Enabled legacy HSX C-based scripts support by dynamically modifying TCS simulation file.
• ASCII to TXT Converter (Python): Built a script to convert logged CAN traces from .asc to .txt format resembling legacy HSX traces, enabling easier debugging of TCS-related issues by test automation team members with limited CAN protocol knowledge.

Tools & Technologies:
Test Automation, CAN Traces, Diagnostics Content (GradeX, OTX, ODX, UDS), Jenkins, Groovy, QF-Test, Python, Robot Framework, Azure DevOps, Git, Visual Studio, PowerShell, AutoIt3, Vehicle Communication Interface (VCI), Softing HSX Breakout (samDia), Softing TCS (TCS.Admin, C++)

Worked in the Software Integration & Testing team, developing tools and processes to support hybrid Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT) powertrain projects in compliance with ISO 26262, ASPICE, and AUTOSAR standards. Focused on automating, standardizing, and improving the Model-Based Development (MBD) workflow using MATLAB/Simulink.

Key Responsibilities:

• Developed reusable tools and workflows to support Controls Software integration across hybrid DCT projects.
• Configured Simulink models for AUTOSAR integration and automated software generation (code, ARXML, documentation) and release processes.
• Created and implemented custom Model Advisor checks to enforce model compliance with safety and quality guidelines.
• Wrote automation scripts for ISO 26262 and ASPICE-compliant Controls Software development.
• Used dSPACE SystemDesk to refine generation scripts and address AUTOSAR validation issues.
• Supported continuous integration activities related to Controls Software build and validation.

Key Achievements:

• Resolved numerous integration issues and tickets within tight project timelines.
• Improved and automated key development and quality assurance processes.
• Increased reliability of code generation by reducing validation warnings/errors.
• Strengthened expertise in MATLAB/Simulink and Model-Based Development for embedded automotive applications.
