• Act as the primary technician supporting users and coordinating software-release activities within the flashing area.
• Execute the in-house ECU software-release process with Manufacturing Test, Operations, and contract manufacturers.
• Collaborate with technical program managers, software engineers, and test engineers to implement and maintain release tools, processes, and supporting solutions.
• Provide software-file locations, flashing tools, traceability information, and related technical support for engineering builds and production.
• Communicate activities, risks, issues, and status for assigned programs to the responsible Test Engineer.
• Review, track, and support sign-off of software DEVREQs and ECRs for internal and external ECUs.
• Coordinate multiple concurrent releases, builds, and deployments from development through production rollout.
• Execute and track pre-release software testing in the Manufacturing Test laboratory, contract-manufacturer locations, and internal sites.
• Track open software and test-station issues, perform technical troubleshooting, and drive assigned actions to resolution.
• Inspect, troubleshoot, repair, and verify harnesses, connectors, wiring, and pinouts used in ECU flashing and test stations.
• Diagnose and resolve USB, Ethernet, serial, diagnostic-interface, and flashing-tool communication issues.
• Maintain test-station computers through Windows troubleshooting, software setup, driver installation, network-connectivity support, and peripheral configuration.
• Provide practical technical guidance to other technicians and users within the assigned scope when required.

Skills

• Advanced practical knowledge of ECU flashing, manufacturing test activities, electronics troubleshooting, and production support.
