Embedded Software Engineer

Job Description
Software Automotive Engineer – BSW Integration

Position Summary
We are seeking a Software Automotive Engineer with strong expertise in Basic Software (BSW) integration for next-generation electrified propulsion systems. The role focuses on architecture, configuration, integration, and validation of embedded platform software that enables robust inverter and motor control applications in high-performance, safety-critical automotive environments.

The ideal candidate combines deep knowledge of AUTOSAR-oriented platform software, real-time scheduling, and MCU-level integration with strong automotive software engineering practices aligned with ASPICE and ISO 26262.

Key Responsibilities
• Implement software architecture and integration strategy for BSW layers supporting inverter and motor control ECUs.
• Configure and integrate core platform modules, including OS services, communication stack interfaces, diagnostics interfaces, memory services, watchdog handling, and I/O abstraction.
• Translate system and software requirements into platform-level requirements, architecture elements, and implementable designs with bidirectional traceability.
• Define and maintain interfaces across application software, BSW/MCAL, diagnostics, and communication stacks (CAN, LIN, Ethernet).
• Support multi-core execution strategies, resource sharing, synchronization mechanisms, and safe partitioning concepts for complex ECU platforms.
• Define and execute verification strategies for BSW integration, including unit tests, SIL/HIL testing, bench validation, and integration regression testing.
• Support DV/PV activities and production readiness milestones by resolving platform-level integration issues during validation and launch phases.
• Perform root-cause analysis for functional, timing, startup, and field issues; drive corrective and preventive actions in collaboration with cross-functional teams.
• Contribute to reusable platform patterns, coding standards, and technical mentoring for junior engineers.

Quality, and Compliance
• Develop and integrate platform software in compliance with ASPICE SWE process areas and quality work products.
• Apply defensive coding and quality practices such as MISRA-C compliance, static analysis, and structured peer reviews.
• Support release governance with clear traceability, change impact assessment, and objective quality metrics.

Required Qualifications
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, Software Engineering, or related discipline.
• 6+ years of automotive embedded software experience, including direct responsibility in BSW integration.
• Strong understanding of AUTOSAR Classic concepts, BSW architecture, MCAL interaction, and ECU software layering principles.
• Proficiency in embedded C for production software in resource-constrained microcontroller environments.
• Experience with real-time debugging, timing analysis, and optimization on automotive MCU platforms (for example Infineon AURIX, NXP, Renesas, TI).
• Familiarity with requirements and traceability tools (for example DOORS, Polarion, Jama) and issue/version control tools (for example Git, Jira).
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and cross-functional communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications
• Experience with inverter and e-motor control ECU integration in electrified powertrain domains.
• Experience with multi-core ECU architecture, timing isolation, and safety-oriented partitioning strategies.
• Exposure to cybersecurity process integration for embedded automotive software (ISO/SAE 21434 concepts).
• Experience with CI/CD and automated testing/reporting workflows for embedded software platforms.
• Experience supporting SOP readiness and launch stabilization for customer programs.

Key Competencies
• Systems thinking with high attention to detail in safety-critical implementation.
• Ownership mindset with the ability to balance innovation, robustness, and delivery commitments.
• Effective collaboration in global, multidisciplinary development teams.
