Software Field Issue Investigation: Lead investigations into customer-reported software concerns impacting contracted fleet vehicles, including vehicle functionality, connectivity, diagnostics, user interfaces, system interactions, performance degradation, and feature execution.
Root Cause Analysis & Corrective Actions: Drive structured root cause investigations involving vehicle software, cloud services, embedded controllers, system interfaces, diagnostics, telematics platforms, APIs, and fleet-management applications. Validate corrective actions and ensure long-term prevention of recurrence.
Software Integration Quality: Evaluate interactions among vehicle systems, software modules, hardware components, cloud infrastructure, mobile applications, and third-party integrations to identify software integration failures and systemic quality risks.
Fleet Software Performance Monitoring: Analyze fleet telemetry, software health metrics, diagnostic trouble codes, system logs, vehicle events, OTA installation data, and customer feedback to identify emerging software quality concerns before wide-scale customer impact.
OTA Release Readiness: Partner with Software Engineering and Program teams to assess software-release readiness, quality risk, deployment strategy, rollback plans, validation evidence, and fleet impact prior to production deployment.
Field Validation & Issue Reproduction: Coordinate vehicle testing, data collection, log analysis, simulation activities, software debugging, and issue reproduction efforts to verify root causes and confirm corrective action effectiveness.
Technical Escalation Management: Support the escalation of critical software issues affecting fleet operations, vehicle availability, safety, customer satisfaction, or business objectives. Provide technical assessments, risk evaluations, containment recommendations, and resolution plans.
Data-Driven Quality Analysis: Leverage vehicle telemetry, cloud analytics, customer feedback, service records, software performance indicators, and field data to identify trends, measure issue severity, and prioritize engineering actions.
Cross-Functional Problem Resolution: Work directly with Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, Vehicle Integration, Product Management, Service Engineering, Field Quality, Warranty Engineering, and Fleet Operations teams to drive rapid issue closure.
Software Corrective Action Validation: Develop validation plans and success criteria to confirm software fixes, configuration changes, feature updates, and deployment improvements effectively resolve identified issues.
Fleet Operational Readiness: Support contracted fleet operations by ensuring software updates, diagnostic tools, release documentation, service instructions, and technical communications are aligned with deployment plans and operational requirements.
Quality Feedback Loop: Ensure field learnings, customer feedback, issue trends, and failure analyses are translated into improved software requirements, release processes, validation strategies, and quality standards.
Continuous Improvement: Identify opportunities to improve software quality monitoring, deployment processes, issue detection methodologies, fleet diagnostics, and release governance to increase fleet reliability and customer satisfaction.
