• As an automation OTA engineer my major responsibilities are to validate OTA updates of Mercedes Benz CIVIC(Car Head Unit)
• To do so, I need to set up the CIVIC test bench from scratch which includes CIVIC, harness, Vector box, CANoe, PC with required tools like ETFW, Low level flashing - QFIL, Telematics Update Tool(TUT)
• As I'm into R&D , most of the testing would be into feature development
• I'm skilled in understanding new features and the implementation levels so I could write the appropriate test cases followed by execution and maintaining the test reports
• The software update of car CIVIC is wireless , the test cases must be automated
• I have introduced the Automation of end-to-end OTA updates from DMS (Device Management Server) to Head Unit (CIVIC) as the updates are triggered from the DM server
• To make sure the CIVIC sample is stable after OTA update various features must be tested like Diagnostics, Ignition OFF and ON, Remote wakeup
• Being the only test engineer in a team I have handled all the CIVIC samples setup, bring up , test case writing, test execution
• I have set up 9 testbenches and brought up around 30 CIVIC'S including ECE(for India), USA(for US) ,ROW(For Rest of the World) variants
• Along with development testing I have handled the regression testing of Bump MR's (The merge requests from 8 different teams)
• Test requirement analysis, test planning, test case creation and execution
• Expert in Embedded Linux
• Expert in APRICOT Software
• Familiar with GIT, VDI, JIRA
• Various connectivity mechanisms (Cellular, Wi-Fi)
• Regression testing, RPM verification, and regular test suite execution
• Bug reporting and tracking using APRICOT Software
• Active participation in Sprint retrospectives, Sprint reviews, and Sprint Planning for better product releases
• As a highly motivated and results-oriented team member I always stay connected with the team.

• As a Test engineer at Qualcomm Technologies my responsibilities are to test Qualcomm Snapdragon chipsets in the platform domain
• At platform testing I make sure the build/software flashing on the IOT chipset is compatible and is not blocking all the supported features like Audio, Video, Modem, Telephony, OTA by doing a Sanity and stability testing
• Automating test cases for IOT using Axiom framework
• Testing of supported Audio codec (AAC, MP3, MP2, PCM) and Video Codec (H264, MPEG4)
• Sanity Testing includes Audio, Video, Camera, WIFI, BT, Telephony, ADSP, and PDR
• Stability test automation framework development using perl & shell scripting languages to verify Performing Stability Test Suites like Reboot, APStress, Monkey
• Performed each stress test on 15 devices at a time
• Along with IIOT , Worked on Mobile chipsets(QCM6490 - QDM) as well
• OTA Mechanisms on IIOT SP's (Data Partition, and Recovery)
• Collecting bug logs and force crash dump logs using QPST and PCAT
• Regression testing for every modification
• Defect tracking and closure using JIRA
• Daily Scrum meetings to understand client requirements and collaborate with product owners and business analysts.

• Testing infotainment features focused on Connectivity, Browsing, and Playback for clients Renault, RCAR, BANMA, and MAZDA using API and HMI testing.
• Verifying the build by flashing and followed by sanity testing.
• Testing all the features by performing system testing including stress and performance testing.
• Writting test scenarios and test cases based on the SRS.
• Creating test data with various audio and video codec combinations.
• Audio - AAC, MP3, FLAC, ALAC

Audio containers - MP3, AAC, FLAC, WAV, OGG, M4A

• Video codecs - Mpeg2, H264 and H265

Video containers - MP4, MOV, AVI and MKV

• Testing online streaming protocols like HTTP, HTTPS, RTSP, and HLS
• Testing on various Android device versions staring from 4.4 to latest, and USB formats like FAT32, NTFS, exFAT, ext4.
• Maintaining test documents like Test Plan, RTM, SRS, test reports and test data.
• Managing defect life cycle using Bugzilla.
• Training the interns and provide the technical support to the developers and other cross functional teams.
