ecdsa-with-SHA256

ecdsa-with-SHA256: an ECDSA signature with SHA-256, used on certificates issued by ECDSA keys.

1.2.840.10045.4.3.2 identifies ecdsa-with-SHA256, a signature algorithm. DER: 06082a8648ce3d040302.

RFC 5758 §3.2 says the encoding MUST omit the parameters field for the ECDSA signature OIDs — no NULL, unlike RSA — a detail strict parsers enforce. The signature value is a DER SEQUENCE of r and s.
