• Contributed in the SWE.04, SWE.05 and SWE.06 in the Software Verification and Qualification processes.
• Involved in the process of finding inconsistencies in both SW requirements on DOORS and the corresponding implemented SW architecture on Enterprise Architect (EA) and the implemented code in both Application layer and BSW layer in Classic AUTOSAR framework.
• Passed several trainings in-house like Classic and Adaptive AUTOSAR sessions, C++, SOLID principles, STL, Design Patterns, Google Test Framework in Unit Testing, and Introduction to Automotive Cybersecurity, Introduction to ASPICE, Introduction to OSEK (AUTOSAR OS), and CyberSecurity Upskilling program.

• Designing component diagrams for several features in ECU on Enterprise Architect tool using UML diagrams.
• Supported in finding defects in SWCs and fixing them.
• Collaborated in maintaining Cybersecurity features as SWCs for maintaining authenticity, data integrity and authorization for diagnostic data in ECU.
• Used UDS protocol (ISO 14229-1) for performing integration testing (SWE.05) and qualification testing (SWE.06).
• Performed debugging for testing using WinIDEA debugger and Vector CANoe Network Simulation.
• Maintained code in SWCs in Application layer and BSW layer according to the vendor requirements from Volkswagen.
• Managed defects/issues/bugs in the code on PTC Integrity Lifecycle Manager tool.
• Used Git and GitHub for code collaboration.
• Used critical thinking to break down problems, evaluate solutions and make decisions.
• Maintaining professional and friendly attitude with customers we support and good communication skills

Responsibilities were:

• Maintained legacy code for GPS tracking devices.
• Learnt and deployed MQTT concepts to be implemented on GPS tracking devices.
• Improved legacy code by adding new features as per customer needs.
• Managed data packets that are sent to and received from server using HTTP protocol.
• Increased device quality by refactoring GPS tracking devices' legacy code by porting Linux OS along with device's modules to be managed via OS kernel to ease mounting and un-mounting kernel devices.

Handling maintenance activities on Fabric Printing Machines like:

• Avoid low-quality tone images printed on fabrics by assuring fixations and accuracy of pigment nozzles and cleaning them on frequent basis.
• Apply maintenance routines on fabric printing machines.
• Applying maintenance routines for other customers' machines on site.
