Lead connectivity audio, infotainment software validation, ECU flashing, & RSU/OTA testing across pre-series BMW, MINI, & Rolls-Royce. Validate CarPlay, Android Auto, BT (HFP/A2DP), & Wi-Fi (WPA2/WPA3); top defect finder. Public road drive testing with active BMW Prototype License (Prototypenführerschein) & climate chamber ECU heat tests. Manage global Q-Gate triage via ALM Octane & Jira; lead international Fehlerrunden (USA, Asia, BR). Configure 3 HiL/ViL testbenches with remote enablement.

Primary Diagnostics Responsible for 6 infotainment ECUs; validated ISO 14229 (UDS), DTCs, OEM diagnostic jobs, flashing, & coding. Performed CAN & SOME/IP bus simulation using Vector CANoe, CARMEN, ECU-TEST, & test automation frameworks. Authored & executed 800+ requirement-based test cases; maintained automated regression suites on HiL rigs. Managed feature validation, custom Jira/Confluence dashboards, & represented LTTS in technical alignment rounds (Fehlerrunden) with OEM leads.

Executed functional verification & diagnostic test scripts for pre-series electronic components on HiL test rigs using BMW toolchains. Developed & delivered final engineering project presentation on automotive testing methodologies for ESIGELEC Rouen under LTTS technical guidance. Supported senior validation engineers with test-case automation, daily defect logging, status metrics, & testbench environment setup.
