How the work runs

The pressure that made this worth automating, the steps the system runs, and what came out the other side.

Pressure & Trigger Points

Hardware engineering teams revised PCB components and microcontroller chip revisions without synchronized updates to the Software BOM (SwBOM).
Embedded firmware builds compiled for older microcontroller silicon steppings failed during vehicle flash programming at assembly plants.
Software and hardware revision mismatches caused vehicle functional test failures, delaying factory gate releases by up to 12 days.
