Define and maintain testable OBD requirements aligned with regulatory needs and system-level diagnostic concepts for Scout's software-defined vehicle architecture
Translate OBD system requirements into clear validation criteria, test cases, and acceptance conditions, ensuring completeness and consistency
Develop and structure test specifications for OBD monitors, readiness behavior, MIL activation, DTC setting/clearing logic, and fault handling
Ensure full traceability from OBD requirements to verification activities, including linking to test cases, execution results, and release evidence
Collaborate closely with HIL engineers, validation teams, calibration engineers, and software developers to align on test coverage and execution strategies
Support the development and automation of HIL, SIL, and vehicle-level test scenarios, including fault injection, edge cases, and regulatory drive cycles
Review and validate diagnostic implementations against defined requirements, ensuring correct monitor execution and expected system behavior under all operating conditions
Analyze test results, diagnostic traces, and measurement data to identify gaps, inconsistencies, or non-compliances, and drive structured issue resolution
Ensure that OBD validation covers nominal operation, edge conditions, degraded modes, and recovery behavior
Support regulatory readiness by contributing to validation reports, compliance documentation, and readiness assessments
Coordinate activities throughout prototype and serial development, including test planning, execution tracking, and reporting
Work with systems and architecture teams to ensure OBD requirements are designed for testability and scalable validation within the SDV framework
Continuously improve test methods, validation strategies, and requirement quality to enhance efficiency and robustness
Be involved in other related tasks / activities as required
