1. Fault Diagnosis & Localization Responsible for functionality testing and failure analysis of returned products (RMA) in the U.S. market. Utilize precision instruments (oscilloscope, multimeter, Bluetooth tester, microscope, etc.) and fault detection tools, along with software apps, to reproduce failures and perform preliminary component-level failure localization. Conduct product disassembly and physical diagnostics (e.g., solder joint inspection, component stress testing) to identify root causes of failure (such as component aging, design defects, or environmental stress anomalies) 2. Cross-Team Technical Collaboration Work closely with R&D and quality teams in China, providing failure analysis data support to drive production improvements, design enhancements, and process optimizations. Participate in failure analysis technical meetings between China and the U.S., ensuring a clear and structured problem transmission process. 3. Knowledge Management & Continuous Improvement Contribute to the internal knowledge base by producing standardized failure analysis reports, documenting key failure modes and root causes. Maintain and refine the failure analysis knowledge database, ensuring continuous improvement in failure characteristics identification and corrective actions.

Spearheaded end‑to‑end validation of the Telematics Control Unit (TCU) and V2X communication stacks, leveraging CANoe (CAN‑FD, Automotive Ethernet, C‑V2X) and CANalyzer to emulate real‑world bus topologies and radio link conditions. Designed and executed Hardware‑in‑the‑Loop (HIL) and E/E‑integration tests for infotainment and telematics domain controllers using UDS (ISO 14229) and SOME/IP protocols, ensuring seamless interplay between ECU firmware, backend cloud services, and mobile apps. Led continuous‑improvement initiatives—developed custom Python libraries for CAN‑bus stress‑testing, optimized test‑resource scheduling, and enhanced diagnostic toolchains—to boost test throughput and coverage. Contributed as a core member of the E/E Architecture Design Authority, advising on AUTOSAR RTE integration, domain‑controller partitioning, and high‑bandwidth Automotive Ethernet zoning for next‑gen connected‑vehicle platforms.

Developed and executed comprehensive test cases and automation scripts in iDEX, ODIS, and CANoe, adhering to ODX/PDX standards to drive test plan coverage and deliver granular pass/fail reports. Architected and maintained the DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) database and associated parameters to enhance ECU diagnostic accuracy and traceability. Configured and validated UDS (Unified Diagnostic Services) sessions and routines for multiple subsystems, ensuring strict compliance with ISO 14229 specifications. Partnered with product owners, project managers, and software/hardware engineers to capture requirements, align on test objectives, and streamline the end‑to‑end validation workflow. Conducted root‑cause analysis and issue triage, collaborating closely with development and product teams to validate fixes and prevent recurrence.

Provided expert support for Intrepid’s Vehicle Spy software—encompassing network monitoring, ECU simulation, and automated test scripting—empowering OEMs to streamline diagnostics workflows. Configured and troubleshooted Intrepid’s neoVI and ValueCAN hardware interfaces across CAN, CAN‑FD, LIN, FlexRay, and Automotive Ethernet networks, using neoVI Explorer and libicsneo for direct hardware control. Developed custom CAPL scripts and Python_ics modules to automate ECU flashing, fault injection, and high‑speed data logging, reducing test preparation time by 40%. Led in‑vehicle road tests with neoVI devices and Vehicle Spy’s logging panels, capturing high‑fidelity bus traffic for offline analysis in Vehicle Spy and vSignalyzer. Conducted over 20 technical workshops and onsite training sessions on Intrepid products—Vehicle Spy, neoVI, and ValueCAN—elevating client proficiency in vehicle network testing and validation tools.

Developed and managed the vehicle chassis assembly plan by creating detailed bills of materials, specifying tooling requirements, and allocating resources to guarantee uninterrupted production flow. Authored and maintained comprehensive Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for auto‑parts installation, incorporating lean‐manufacturing and poka‑yoke principles to minimize errors and accelerate operator training. Led validation testing—functional, dimensional, and durability checks—on subassembly processes, performing root‑cause analysis and driving corrective actions that bolstered production yield and consistency. Partnered with procurement, quality, and logistics teams to optimize material supply chains, reducing part shortages and assembly downtime through just‑in‑time delivery strategies. Compiled in‑depth validation reports and presented actionable insights to plant leadership, enabling continuous improvement initiatives that enhanced overall manufacturing efficiency and product quality.
