Applied DFMEA methodologies to assess and improve feature designs.. Executed feature validation using SIL simulation, modeling, and dynamic systems analysis with MATLAB, Simulink, and State flow.. Built and optimized control algorithms, signal-processing flows, and system architectures. Automated MIL/SIL testing using Simulink–Gherkin frameworks.. Optimized feature models for performance, efficiency, and AUTOSAR compliance.

Designed high-level network, wiring, and power distribution topologies and system diagrams.. Defined feature APIs, system-level test paths, state machines, and use cases.. Conducted requirements engineering at concept, subsystem, system, and component levels.. Performed DFMEA analyses and led 8D problem-solving for system-level issues.

Led and coordinated a validation team of 12–16 engineers in the execution of testing plans for Ford, GM, and Nissan platforms.. Planned, assigned, and tracked validation activities, ensuring on-time delivery and compliance with project requirements.. Supervised test case development, requirements analysis, and validation execution across multiple vehicle programs.. Monitored testing progress, identified risks, and implemented corrective actions to maintain project timelines.. Acted as the main point of contact between validation teams and project stakeholders, ensuring clear communication and alignment.

Conducted manual and automated testing for Instrument Panel Clusters (IPC).. Designed test cases and evaluated compliance with ISO, FMVSS, and ICE standards.

Led and coordinated a cross-functional testing team of 8 engineers for actuator motor validation (seats, windows, sunroofs, spindle systems).. Planned and assigned testing activities, ensuring alignment with project timelines, quality standards, and customer requirements.. Monitored and reported KPIs related to test progress, defect tracking, and laboratory performance to support decision-making.. Managed laboratory operations, including resource allocation, scheduling, and purchase orders for testing activities.. Facilitated communication between engineering, laboratory teams, and stakeholders to ensure smooth project execution.

Performed testing for actuator motors and analyzed data for quality and durability.. Designed test assembly and fixture equipment.

Managed operation, monitoring, and maintenance of wind turbines, solar farms, and electrical substations.
