* Own the diagnostic communication concept for OBD-relevant functions, including service definitions, DID strategies, DTC access, routine behaviors, session concepts, security interaction, and tester workflows 
* Define scalable and robust requirements for how OBD-related data and services are exposed through UDS across domains, controllers, and diagnostic gateways 
* Act as the technical lead for UDS-based OBD architecture, ensuring alignment between systems engineering, software development, diagnostics, validation, cybersecurity, and aftersales teams 
* Establish a coherent strategy for diagnostic communication behavior in prototype, development, production, and service environments 
* Review and approve diagnostic concepts, interface specifications, and implementation proposals to ensure consistency, compliance, maintainability, and serviceability 
* Drive requirements traceability from architectural intent through software implementation, validation evidence, and release approval 
* Support issue resolution by reviewing traces, service logs, communication behavior, and test evidence to identify root causes and define corrective actions 
* Guide development teams on best practices for diagnostic communication design, integration, and robustness in an SDV environment 
* Partner with platform and architecture teams to ensure the UDS strategy supports future scalability, OTA updates, centralized compute evolution, and long-term service needs 
* Coordinate and contribute into prototype and serial development stages in terms of software availability, test planning, data review, diagnostic behavior alignment, and technical reporting 
* Be involved in other related tasks / activities as require
