Verification & Validation Engineer - BorgWarner

Project: ADAS Long Range Radar (LRR) / Active Safety

• Worked on an AUTOSAR-based active-safety radar project involving Long Range Radar and an Active Safety Domain Controller (ASDM).
• Validated radar-to-domain-controller communication and detection signals including distance/range, velocity, azimuth angle, elevation angle and number of valid detections.
• Validated detection limits, radar status and vehicle-related signals including yaw, roll, drive direction, steering wheel angle, wiper state and vehicle status.
• Performed AUTOSAR RTE interface validation by changing inputs through CANoe/graphic window and verifying correct signal and variable updates.
• Performed integration-level debugging of RTE ports using Trace32 breakpoints and verified read/write data consistency.
• Validated radar time synchronization by comparing radar internal time with global ASDM time.
• Validated radar position management by changing hardware position pins through harness connections and checking the corresponding position indication/message.
• Executed diagnostics and fault validation including blockage detection, low/high voltage, STG and STB conditions and corresponding DTC behavior.
• Supported software authentication validation involving diagnostic service 0x29 and CMAC-related interface checks before software flashing.
