How You’ll Make An Impact
- Understand product owner’s requirements for various TCU software components and translate them into clear, reusable, and scalable software solutions.
- Analyze existing OEM requirements across customer programs to identify common features, reusable platform capabilities, and product-level design opportunities.
- Design and implement modular embedded software components using Embedded C/C++ on Embedded Linux-based TCU platforms.
- Work on platform areas such as connectivity, TCP/IP networking, V2X, eCall, security, diagnostics, OTA, and other TCU services.
- Apply ASPICE-aligned engineering practices, including requirement analysis, traceability, software design, implementation, code reviews, unit testing, and verification.
- Ensure software quality through debugging, root cause analysis, unit testing, issue fixing, and continuous improvement throughout the development lifecycle.
- Use tools and workflows such as Git/GitHub/Gerrit, Make/CMake, shell scripting, Jira, Confluence, and CI/CD pipelines for efficient development and collaboration.
- Support integration of reusable software components into OEM customer programs by making them configurable, maintainable, and easy to configure and integrate.
- Guide and support team members through technical discussions, design reviews, issue analysis, implementation guidance, and best-practice adoption.
What Makes You A Strong Fit
- Strong hands-on experience in Embedded C/C++ and Embedded Linux software development.
- Good understanding of Linux device driver basics, multi-threading, IPC, and TCP/IP networking.
- Experience with Git/GitHub/Gerrit, code reviews, and collaborative software development workflows.
- Ability to debug complex embedded software issues and perform effective root cause analysis.
- Familiarity with Make/CMake build systems and Bash scripting for development and automation.
- Ability to understand requirements, design reusable software components, and ensure quality through reviews, traceability, unit testing, and verification.
- Clear communication and collaboration skills to work with product owners, architects, developers, QA, and customer-facing project teams.
- We see AI as an important part of how work gets done. While tools may vary, a baseline familiarity with using AI to support efficiency, problem-solving, and quality is expected.
Bonus Points if You Have
- Experience with AUTOSAR fundamentals, automotive diagnostics such as UDS/DoIP, or automotive communication protocols such as CAN, CAN FD, Ethernet, or SOME/IP.
- Hands-on exposure to Yocto build systems, Linux-based TCU platforms, or telematics software architecture.
- Knowledge of OTA software updates, MQTT/REST APIs, cloud integration, or connected vehicle service frameworks.
- Experience with Docker, CI/CD pipelines, Jira, Confluence, or Enterprise Architect for software development and documentation workflows.
- Working knowledge of ASPICE processes, including requirement traceability, design documentation, review practices, and verification activities.
