• Resolve issues related to ECU flashing using the ETAS Inca, Lauterbach, and DPS toolchain, and lead issue resolution in VeSCoM software testing

• Verify and validate that the Hardware in Loop (HIL) / Vector benches are operational and configured for propulsion without any hardware or instrumentation issues.

• Address CAN communication errors to ensure the smooth functioning of MAC, Multi CG, and OTA testing.

• Install required software as per user requests and manage license updates for Vector, Intrepid, dSPACE, and DPS.

• Respond to user requests to set up benches according to testing requirements.

• Coordinate with cross-functional teams (HIL AE, HIL Simulation, CIE, & IT) and serve as a liaison between customers for unresolved issues.

• Maximize runtime on all assets.

• Assist with key program events for subsystem/system level tests

• Identify the root causes of ECU’s and instrumentation issues

• Provide support in analyzing and resolving customer’s issues related to bench hardware, instrumentation, and PC’s.
