Key Responsibilities

  • Define and guide firmware and software architecture for embedded automotive platforms with a focus on scalability, maintainability, and real-time performance.
  • Own end-to-end software delivery—from concept and design through validation, qualification, and final release.
  • Collaborate with hardware, systems, and applications teams to optimize integration between software and silicon.
  • Develop and refine SDKs, drivers, middleware, reference designs, and development tools that accelerate customer implementation.
  • Ensure all software outputs meet stringent automotive standards for quality, robustness, and long-term reliability.
  • Identify and resolve technical risks related to software early in the development cycle.
  • Improve developer experience through intuitive tooling, comprehensive documentation, and platform usability enhancements.

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field, plus 10 or more years of relevant industry experience.
  • Proven track record in developing production-grade embedded software for microcontroller-based systems.
  • Strong command of real-time systems, motor control software, and embedded development workflows.
  • Hands-on experience with embedded C/C++ and RTOS environments.
  • Familiarity with host-side development using C#/.NET, Python (for automation and tooling), or UI frameworks such as Qt, WPF, or WinUI.
  • Experience connecting host-side tools with embedded targets via USB, UART, CAN/CAN-FD, or Ethernet across multiple operating systems.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Background in AUTOSAR driver development or embedded firmware ecosystems.
  • Experience creating widely adopted SDKs or embedded development platforms.

Technical Environment

Core technologies include C, C++, RTOS, C#, .NET, Python, Qt, WPF, WinUI, and communication interfaces such as USB, UART, CAN, CAN-FD, and Ethernet.
