• System Monitoring: Provide timely and accurate real-time monitoring of assigned system statuses during testing to ensure safe and successful execution.
• Technical Support: Execute basic configuration and setup of instrumentation and telemetry. Assist in on-vehicle and off-vehicle tests focusing on critical components such as control systems and perception.
• Utilize Vector tools (CANalyzer/CANoe) for live debugging, signal tracing, and post-test analysis.
• Documentation & Triage: Maintain accurate, organized, and complete logs of all test activities. 
• Analyze vehicle logs (CAN, telemetry, system logs) to identify anomalies and support root cause analysis (RCA).
• Collaborate directly with developers to reproduce issues and validate fixes.
• Issue Escalation: Promptly and clearly escalate all anomalies or issues to a senior engineer immediately upon detection.
• Simulation Support: Support testing within virtual environments, including Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) platforms.
