Responsibilities

  • Strong experience in AUTOSAR BSW testing (with sensors camera, video, radar, ultrasonic), including MCAL, ECU Abstraction, OS, and Services layers.
  • Hands-on testing of communication protocols – CAN, LIN, Ethernet, FlexRay, and diagnostics (UDS/DoIP).
  • Strong knowledge of ADAS sensors (camera, video, radar, ultrasonic).
  • Good understanding of sensor data interfaces, BSW integration, AUTOSAR know-how, Test architecture design for System Test (/HIL/Vehicle).
  • Define and own end-to-end safety test architecture for ADAS Radar (Gen6/Gen7), ensuring compliance with across sensor, ECU, and vehicle levels.
  • Develop ASIL-driven test strategies ( B–D) for radar functions such as object detection, tracking, and classification, aligned with safety goals, , and FSC/TSC.
  • Architect BSW safety testing approach covering MCAL, communication stacks (CAN, Ethernet), diagnostics, and OS, ensuring robustness of safety mechanisms.
  • Lead verification & validation () of radar safety functions including latency, signal integrity, interference handling, and degraded mode behavior.
  • Design and execute advanced fault injection strategies (sensor-level, ECU-level, and network-level) to validate diagnostic coverage and safety mechanisms.
  • Establish /MIL/HIL-based validation frameworks using tools like Vector CANoe, dSPACE, and radar-specific simulators for corner-case validation.Integrate AI/ML-driven testing approaches (GenAI, anomaly detection, test optimization) to improve coverage, automate test generation, and enhance defect prediction.
  • Ensure end-to-end traceability and compliance using tools like IBM DOORS and Polarion, linking safety requirements to test cases and results.
  • Collaborate with system, safety, and SW teams to validate radar perception chain safety, including edge cases like multipath reflections, ghost objects, and environmental disturbances.
  • Lead safety audits, assessments, and release readiness, working with certification and mentor teams on best practices in safety, automation, and AI adoption.
  • ISO26262 Safety certification (preferred), Strong know-how of FUSA, HW Fault injection Test, Security know-how
