Rekha Naidu

Led qualification of L2+ ADAS/Automated-Driving systems vs GSR/NCAP/ISO26262/SOTIF. Architected scalable test strategies and HiL/vehicle/field validation. Elicited requirements and authored test specs for perception & control (object/lane detection; TSR; ISA; emergency assist; lateral, highway & traffic-jam assist/pilot). Defined KPI metrics for go/no-go. Managed test schedules; coordinated cross-functional teams, customers and global stakeholders; standardized frameworks; drove automation-first practices.

- Delivered value-added software features for customer-specific active safety solutions in fastpaced development cycles - Integrated modular components within the Application Layer of Active Safety Projects, ensuring seamless system operation - Liaised with engineering teams to resolve integration issues and optimize system performance

- Spearheaded verification & validation efforts for ADAS functions such as AEB, CDD, HHC, E-PT, HBC - Defined test spec for safety-critical features using CAN and KWP2000 protocol - Conducted fault injection testing for fail-safe systems, ensuring compliance with functional safety standards ISO26262 - Led test planning and milestone execution, defect reporting/tracking, and sprint-level delivery - Mentored junior engineers and coordinated with Japan-based counterparts during 9-month onsite assignment

- Executed HIL-based validation for active safety systems in passenger vehicles - Automated test scripts for efficient regression and performance testing - Performed requirements-based testing for diagnostics (KWP2000) and in-vehicle CAN communication - Facilitated peer reviews and defect triaging to uphold test quality standards

- Conducted validation for two-wheeler safety systems, focusing on ABS OFF and OEM-specific requirements - Authored test scripts to automate functional tests in HIL environments - Verified CAN and UDS-based diagnostics, ensuring robustness in embedded communication
