ABOUT PIYUSH JIKADRA
Automotive Software Test Automation Engineer with a strong background in infotainment, connected vehicle systems, and E/E architectures. I have hands-on experience designing, automating, and executing manual and automated test cases for complex automotive software in OEM environments, with a strong focus on quality, reliability, and process optimization.My core expertise includes Python-based test automation, Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) testing, CI/CD integration, and validation of Android-based HMI and backend services. I have worked extensively on features such as OTA updates, Mobile Device Key, Functions on Demand, eCall services, and connected vehicle functionalities across multiple E/E platforms including PPE, MQB, and MEB.I bring solid experience in ECU flashing, trace and log analysis, regression and system testing, and collaboration with development and integration teams using agile methodologies. I am proficient with industry-standard tools such as CANoe, CANalyzer, CANape, Jira, Confluence, Git, and diagnostic and analysis frameworks used within major German OEM ecosystems.In parallel, I hold a Master’s degree in Automotive engineering, electrical and information technology with a specialization in automotive electronics, embedded and real-time systems development, and AI-driven engineering. My academic work includes applied machine learning and deep learning for battery safety and time-series analysis, bridging data-driven methods with real-world automotive systems.I value structured problem-solving, clean automation design, and continuous learning, and I enjoy working at the intersection of software quality, vehicle technology, and innovation.#AutomotiveEngineer #VehicleElectronics #SoftwareTesting #TestAutomation #Python #EmbeddedSystems #AutomotiveSoftware
