Unit Test Automation: Develop scalable unit tests for FCU firmware (C/C++).

Build System Transition: Migrate firmware build flow from IAR to GCC and maintain automated builds.

Test Case Development: Automate tests for diverse hardware and system scenarios.

Regression Testing: Collaborate with US-based teams to run and analyze tests on real hardware.

Simulation & Debugging: Use Simics to reproduce issues and automate simulation workflows.

Hardware Variance Testing: Create frameworks to stress firmware across hardware variance using Simics.

Visualization & Reporting: Build dashboards/GUI for test coverage, defect tracking, and failure statistics.

Defect Analysis: Diagnose and classify bugs, providing actionable insights to developers.

Tool Development: Build Python tools to enhance diagnostics, documentation, and team productivity.
