Communication Stack Delivery for Renault-Nissan (Vehicle)

After a promotion to a role responsible for the communication team, we received multiple software deliveries at the same time with very tight deadlines.

I planned my teamwork, tasks, and projects in line with the higher management decision's objectives, aiming to create an effective and efficient team.

I attended meetings, prioritizing emails, and researching information applicable to the projects. Through accurate and fast work, we completed the job before the software freeze with a green quality matrix.

It was satisfying to complete the job to a high standard despite stringent deadlines.

Concern Manager and Root Cause Identification

During the last delivery before the start of production (SOP), the concern manager took ill, and our client sent us a red alert.

This was particularly stressful because the person who was off sick had the knowledge and expertise of all parts of our ECU. I volunteered to take on his responsibilities and began learning about his role in the fastest as quickly as possible. Although it was stressful, I remained calm, worked longer hours, and investigated this unexpected issue.

I found the root cause of the bug and delivered a satisfying presentation to our client, explaining the behavior. My ability to work well under pressure and deliver results was greatly appreciated.
