Senior Embedded Software Engineer

Job description

W e may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses and identifying potential inconsistencies or verification signals in application materials based on available information. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans. If you would like more information about how your data is processed, please contact us.

Job responsibilities

  • As a Senior Embedded Software Engineer , you will be driving the design, development, and validation of all firmware running on our vehicle drive & Safety controllers.
  • Act as design responsible engineer for a vehicle program that includes controllers for: Traction Control, Actuator Control, IO Control, Sensor Control, and Functional Safety Firmware.
  • Define technical direction for embedded software architecture, coding standards, and system interfaces.
  • Review electrical schematics, direct I/O mapping, and work with hardware engineers to ensure firmware and hardware are well-integrated.
  • Debug complex issues using ARM JTAG/ETM systems and other tools.
  • Develop safety-critical code in compliance with MISRA C or similar standards.
  • Use data intense sensors such as 3D LIDARs and Cameras to create ‘Virtual Bumper’ systems to achieve PL=D ratings (Roughly ASIL-C equivalent) on microprocessors such as i.MX-6 series
  • Create and maintain documentation including APIs, state diagrams, and test matrices.

Job requirements

  • 8–12+ years of experience developing embedded software in a product-focused environment.
