AutomotiveManufacturing

Responsibilities

Drive EE/SW integration activities for prototype, pre-production, and production builds

Manage ECU-level and network-level integration issues across CAN, LIN, FlexRay, and Automotive Ethernet

Ensure bootloader, flashing, and software update processes (OTA or UDS-based) are fully validated

Oversee network bring-up, diagnostics verification, and DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) testing

Align interface control documents (ICDs), network description files (DBC, LDF, FIBEX, ARXML), and ensure configuration consistency

Review ECU software release notes to confirm feature completeness and backward compatibility

Coordinate SIL (Software-in-the-Loop), HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop), and full vehicle integration testing

Drive test automation and regression coverage for system-level functionality using tools such as dSPACE, Vector CANoe/CANalyzer, ETAS LABCAR, or NI Veristand

Ensure test results are traceable to system and software requirements

Track power consumption, network load, wake-up/sleep, and timing analysis during integration phases

Own open issue dashboards (JIRA, ALM, or similar) and ensure clear root cause tracking with engineering teams

Support change management and version control (Git, SVN, or PTC tools) to maintain ECU software integrity

Validate that ASIL-level software components meet ISO 26262 compliance requirements

Coordinate FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) and DFMEA closure for integration-related issues

Interface with EE design teams, SW developers, calibration engineers, and supplier integration teams to align dependencies

Communicate integration readiness metrics (flash status, network stability, regression pass rates) to leadership

Prepare gate review documentation, highlighting technical maturity and open risk items before release
