Contract
Reference: BH-392197
Responsibilities- Lead the specification, design, development, and implementation of real‑time embedded software for safety‑critical chassis control systems, ensuring compliance with industry standards and best practices.
- Hands‑on coding, implementation, and integration of embedded software components for chassis control systems, including designing and implementing sophisticated advanced control algorithms, state machines, diagnostic routines (including UDS), and fault management strategies.
- Own the full software development lifecycle from concept and requirements definition, through design, coding, integration, validation, and deployment in production vehicles.
- Perform hands‑on system debugging, root‑cause analysis, and optimize embedded code for performance, memory footprint, and resource utilization on target hardware.
- Design, develop, and oversee comprehensive test plans, including unit, component, and system‑level regression tests, and contribute to the development of automated testing frameworks to ensure software quality and reliability.
- Collaborate closely with systems engineers, hardware engineers, calibration teams, and other software domains to ensure seamless integration and optimal system performance.
- Define robust system requirements and conduct comprehensive system safety analyses (e.g., FMEA, FTA, HARA) to derive stringent safety requirements and ensure functional safety
ISO 26262).
You’ll have…
- Bachelor's or master's degree in electrical engineering, computer engineering, mechatronics, computer science, embedded systems, or equivalent experience.
- 8+ years of progressive experience in embedded software design and development, with demonstrated technical leadership in safety‑critical domains.
- Provide technical leadership, guidance, and mentorship to junior engineers, foster best practices, and contribute to architectural decisions and strategic technical roadmaps.
- Strong proficiency in C for embedded firmware development; solid comprehension and practical experience with Python for scripting, tooling, and test automation.
- Experience with model‑based design, translating Simulink models into high‑performance, optimized C‑code.
- Deep understanding of real‑time operating systems (RTOS), Experience with micro‑controller architectures such as ARM, NXP, Infineon.
- Proficiency with embedded debugging tools (e.g., Segger, GHS, CANalyzer, CANoe).
- Extensive experience with automotive communication protocols (e.g., CAN, CAN‑FD) and related Vector CAN tools. Experience with Unified Diagnostic Services (UDS).
- Proven experience with unit testing, static analysis, integration testing, and developing automated test strategies.
- Hands‑on experience with requirement management tools (e.g., JAMA, Polarion, DOORS) and version control systems (e.g., Git).
- Experience with V‑model or Agile software development methodologies.
Even better, you may have…
- Direct experience with controls development and algorithm design for Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems (TPMS), including working with TPMS sensors (e.g., via BLE), Electric Park Brakes, or advanced steering systems.
- Fundamental understanding or experience with OTA update mechanisms for embedded systems.
- Understanding of chassis controls and vehicle dynamics fundamentals.
- Familiarity with continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) practices and tools.
- Experience with electrical wiring, circuit building, troubleshooting, and the ability to read basic electrical schematics.
- Familiarity with vehicle cybersecurity measures and secure coding practices.
- Understanding and practical application of automotive functional safety standards (e.g., ISO 26262).
