Teams at Rivian and Volkswagen Group Technologies, LLC

Lead end-to-end testing for automotive infotainment firmware and features. Develop and execute test plans, design automated integration tests, identify and drive defect resolution, maintain test environments, and mentor QA engineers. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define test strategy and communicate risks and results.

Investigate cross-stack vehicle-to-cloud issues at fleet scale by analyzing telemetry (SQL, PySpark, Databricks), debugging embedded Linux and networking, performing on-vehicle diagnostics, gating releases with fleet data, building automated monitoring and dashboards, and driving durable fixes with firmware, platform, cloud, and vendor teams.

Integrate and validate vehicle features across software, hardware, and diagnostics. Perform bench/HIL/vehicle testing, debug networked ECU interactions (CAN/LIN/Ethernet), triage issues, execute integration test plans, and develop Python-based tooling to accelerate log analysis and root cause investigation.
