  software qualification levels.
• Validate in‑vehicle network
  protocols such as KWP2000, UDS, J1939, and
  communication interfaces like CAN and LIN.
• Conduct failure analysis,
  root‑cause investigations, and
  collaborate with development teams for issue resolution.
• Perform CAPL scripting, code
  stubbing, and debugging activities to support test automation and
  simulation.
• Ensure alignment
  with safety and regulatory standards (e.g., IEC 61508, ISO 26262).

Test Environment & Toolchain Coordination

• Develop and maintain test
  environments including HIL systems, simulation tools, test benches,
  oscilloscopes, multimeters, and power supplies.
• Utilize tools such
  as CANoe, CANalyzer, WinIdea, HIL platforms, and proprietary
  test automation frameworks.
