Challenge

The company struggled to correlate logs across distributed ECUs, making it difficult to visualize integration issues and delaying software debugging and feature development.

Solution

Standardized Logging Library

Toptal developed a unified logging solution using C++ and Python, transforming fragmented ECU data into MCAP format and enabling Mosaic-based visualization through a successful multi-ECU proof of concept.

Cross-team Integration Framework

Toptal led collaboration across hardware, DevOps, and project management teams to create a scalable framework that standardized signal formats and enabled synchronized analysis of vehicle data.

Outcome

Improved Debugging Accuracy

The new system helped engineering teams replay integration issues across ECUs with clarity, reducing miscommunication and accelerating development timelines.

Scalable Engineering Blueprint

Following successful North America and Japan demos, the project was greenlit for broader implementation and now serves as a system-wide model for future ECU development.
