  • Experience with MCU bootloaders, secure boot, software update, diagnostic services, DTC/DID/RID validation, key provisioning, or manufacturing tooling.
  • Experience with hardware-in-the-loop, system benches, Lauterbach, ETAS, Vector tools, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, power supplies, or network analyzers.
  • Experience with Robot Framework, Autobot, Jenkins, Xray, Git/GitHub, Jira, Grafana, or comparable automation and evidence systems.
  • Knowledge of ISO 26262, functional safety, cybersecurity, FMEA, fault injection, code coverage, and automotive quality processes.
