About

Embedded Platform Software Engineer
Our Embedded Platform provides the foundational software that enables the next generation of vehicle ECUs to operate reliably, safely, and efficiently. The platform includes the RTOS, low-level drivers, common services, shared libraries, and core functionality used across multiple ECUs throughout the vehicle. This team is responsible for early ECU bring-up, platform enablement, and the development of reusable software components and services that scale across a distributed, safety-critical vehicle architecture. We are looking for a highly skilled Embedded Platform Software Engineer to help design, develop, and validate the software foundation for our next-generation vehicle programs. The ideal candidate has deep experience in embedded software development, strong systems-level thinking, and the ability to work effectively in complex, hardware-software environments. Responsibilities
What you'll do... Define requirements, design, implement, and test low-level embedded software for bare-metal and RTOS-based systems. Develop scalable embedded platform software used across multiple ECUs. Support initial ECU bring-up, board-level debugging, and platform integration. Design and implement multicore, real-time, and safety-critical software architectures. Develop efficient, reliable software components and interfaces for common platform services. Resolve ambiguity in requirements, specifications, and system designs while driving toward robust technical solutions. Work closely with hardware, systems, and application teams to integrate and validate platform functionality. Use bench setups, debuggers, and HIL environments to verify software behavior and diagnose system-level issues. Define and implement system-level solutions for power, compute, memory, and communication requirements. Profile CPU, power, memory, and bus utilization to identify optimization opportunities at both component and system levels. Develop software component test strategies, test plans, and automated tests to ensure maturity, stability, and release readiness. Validate firmware functionality, robustness, performance, and behavior across operating conditions, including low-power modes. Qualifications
You'll have... Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field. 5+ years of relevant embedded software development experience using C. Experience developing low-level software for bare-metal and RTOS-based embedded systems. Experience with ECU or board bring-up, hardware debugging, and embedded software integration. Familiarity with multicore embedded systems, real-time constraints, and resource-constrained environments. Experience using hardware debuggers, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, or similar bench-level debugging tools. Experience with JIRA, Confluence, and git-based development workflows. Experience with build systems such as make, Bazel, or similar tools. Experience with scripting languages such as Python or Bash. Understanding of electrical engineering fundamentals, including circuit analysis and basic hardware design concepts. Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to debug complex hardware/software interactions. Excellent communication skills and the ability to collaborate across software, hardware, systems, and validation teams. Even better, you may have... Experience developing device drivers or integrating RTOS components. Experience with automotive ECU platforms or distributed embedded systems. Experience with ISO 26262 or safety-critical software development practices. Familiarity with automotive communication protocols such as CAN, LIN, UDS, Ethernet, or DoIP. Experience with automotive test and diagnostic tools such as Vector CANoe. Knowledge of MISRA C or other embedded software coding standards. Experience with commercial embedded compilers, linkers, and debugging tools. Familiarity with PCB-level hardware components and related analysis/debug tools. Experience optimizing embedded systems for low power, startup time, CPU utilization, memory usage, or communication bandwidth.
