I was mostly responsible for testing minor bugs relating to the HMI and back end controllers for commodity car audio (think radio, bluetooth). This was done on both test benches and development mules, at customer facilities and at the company's own garage. My bug spreadsheet eventually comprised about 80 different issues in various stages of investigation at the time of my exit. Testing involved opening the ticket, recording the reproduction procedure, following it in the vehicle or test bench on a specific software patch, and noting the result while running a CAN traffic recorder to get the data. On some issues I was shown how to debug the traffic record and find possible causes of the issue in software. Depending on the urgency of the issue, I was often required to work at Ford facilities and sometimes over weekends or after COB. When at Ford, I interacted closely with their engineers as the resident interface for my company. They were usually some shade of angry that our tech was causing problems for them when I had to show up, requiring me to manage expectations and think on my feet about ways to defuse the situation.
