  • Evaluate any new requests for adding or updating ADAS software, vECUs, models and programs into SIL package configuration

  • Compile and provide requirements to Simulation Tools and Infrastructure teams to update / add capability to their SIL environments for required testing

  • Support automation of test cases following established test procedures in X-Ray / CGs

  • Work with feature owners, systems engineers, and calibration engineers to reproduce issues in SIL and support triage of test results

  • Support process automation for test result data analysis

  • Contribute to documentation and standard work for SIL usage, including how‑to guides, user training as required

  • Identify and communicate opportunities to improve testing efficiency, coverage and automation in SIL environment

  • Share status, risks, and learnings with team members and leads and participate in regular reviews and stand‑ups

  • Provide technical mentorship to less experienced engineers on SIL usage, test execution and automation

  • Drive continuous improvement and innovation in ADAS virtualization capabilities and contribute via sharing lessons learned, escalating risks and informing stakeholders of status, timing, risks, and technical issues / roadblocks
