- Lead defect-triage activities; ensure issues are properly logged, classified, prioritized, assigned, resolved, and verified.
- Analyze software defects using cloud-based analytics, logs, telemetry, diagnostic data, and conventional debugging methods.
- Develop, acquire, and implement software tools that improve testing efficiency, coverage, automation, and reporting.
- Provide hands-on support for system testing activities as required.
- Produce test status reports, quality dashboards, risk assessments, and release-readiness recommendations for stakeholders.
- Collaborate with development, integration, validation, supplier, customer, and end-user teams in a global environment.
- Ensure compliance with applicable development and testing processes, including Automotive SPICE, ISO 26262, ISO/SAE 21434, and internal quality standards.
- Drive continuous improvement in test processes, automation, tooling, test coverage, and operational efficiency.

Team Development and Mentoring

- Mentor and develop junior engineers in software testing practices, methodologies, and tools.
