Automation Framework Development: Design, implement, and scale test automation frameworks to support continuous firmware and software regression testing.
CI/CD Pipeline Engineering: Build and manage automated pipelines using GitHub Actions to trigger firmware flashing and test execution on physical HiL runners.
Real-Time Simulation Modeling: Develop high-fidelity RT models for motor, encoder, communication framework and sensor emulation to support sub-system and full-system HiL benches.
Hardware Interface Libraries: Create and maintain robust software libraries for interfacing with industrial hardware protocols, including EtherCAT, CAN, SPI, I2C, SCPI-controlled power supplies, and PXI relay APIs.
Infrastructure Management: Configure and maintain Linux-based workstations as GitHub Actions self-hosted runners, ensuring deterministic and traceable test environments.
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Electrical Engineers and Firmware teams to define signal mapping, fault injection requirements, and sensor data simulation strategies.
Fault Injection Implementation: Programmatically control Fault Injection Units (FIU) to simulate short-to-battery, short-to-ground, and open-circuit conditions on critical robot signals.
