Tasks 

Review feature requirements and vehicle architecture documentation to design comprehensive L3 test cases. Develop and implement automated test cases as robust, reliable, and maintainable code using the provided automation framework and relevant programming languages. Implement test cases following defined test design rules and appropriate test design methods. Execute automated test suites and manual tests on relevant test environments (SIL, HIL, Vehicle). Analyze test results, debug test failures, identify root causes, and report software defects accurately with necessary technical details. Validate software fixes through targeted re-testing and regression execution. Ensure issues found are properly tracked and managed throughout the software development lifecycle in collaboration with developers. Participate actively in agile ceremonies (e.g., Scrum meetings, Sprint Planning, Retrospectives) and contribute to technical discussions. Effectively communicate test status, technical challenges, and issues with test leads, developers, feature owners, and management. Contribute to ongoing test process improvements, including refactoring test code, enhancing test case design, and developing complex or negative scenarios within the automation framework. Maintain and update automated test code, test documentation, and test artifacts following team standards. Integrate the core automation enablers, libraries, and tools provided by the external team into the team's test environments and workflows. Manage and ensure correct versioning and dependency management for automation libraries, tools, and components utilized by the team from the external framework. Troubleshoot technical issues related to the automation framework setup, configuration, execution environments, and library compatibility. Research and recommend technical solutions for automation implementation challenges within the team's scope, leveraging the available framework and industry knowledge. Ensure the automation infrastructure and dependencies required for feature automation are correctly configured, maintained, and compatible with the framework versions in use.
