* Vehicle‑level testing (HIL, SIL, CAN, network validation)
* UAT, field trials, dogfooding, and pre‑SOP fleet testing
* Network mode testing (ignition cycles, sleep/wake, roaming, weak signal)
* Ensure validation across vehicle modes and transitions, regions, markets, and regulatory variants.
* Review and sign off launch validation reports.
4. Defect & Incident Management
* Act as launch triage focal point during SOP and early‑life support.
* Analyze defects across:
* Vehicle software
* Backend/cloud services
* Drive root cause analysis (RCA) and corrective actions with internal teams and suppliers.

* Track supplier deliverables against launch milestones.
* Ensure alignment across global OEM, ESP, and supplier teams.
6. Compliance & Market Readiness
* Ensure connected features are compliant with:
* UN R155 (CSMS) & R156 (SUMS/OTA)
* Data privacy & cybersecurity requirements
* Validate regional enablement (EU, NA, APAC, MEA, etc.).
7. Launch Documentation & Reporting
* Create and maintain:
* Launch readiness checklists
* Feature enablement matrices (by market/variant)
* Present launch status, risks, and mitigations to management and customers.
8. Post‑Launch & Continuous Improvement
* Support early‑life production (ELP) and stabilization phase.
* Monitor real‑world telemetry, incidents, and customer issues.
* Feed learnings into next vehicle programs, OTA releases, and process improvements.
Knowledge
* Strong understanding of:
* Connected car architecture & telematics systems
* OTA platforms (FOTA/SOTA)
* Vehicle networks (CAN, Ethernet, LIN)
* Cloud‑based automotive services
* Experience with tools such as:
* CANoe/ CANalyzer /ControlDesk
* Jira, Confluence
