• Process and route messages from the control hub.
• Communicate with lower-level vehicle systems and ECUs.
• Develop and integrate Ethernet-based communication protocols.
• Support secure network communication, including TLS and/or DTLS.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to diagnose and resolve communication issues.
• Contribute to software quality, testing, debugging, and production readiness

Required Qualifications

• Strong professional experience in C and/or C++.
• Experience developing software for embedded Linux systems.
• Solid understanding of Ethernet, TCP/IP, and network protocols.
• Experience with embedded communication, ECU communication, or automotive networking.
• Ability to debug complex software and communication issues across system boundaries.
• Familiarity with software development practices for production embedded systems.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with TLS, DTLS, or other secure networking technologies.
• Experience working with vehicle communication architectures.
• Familiarity with ISO/TCM or related automotive communication layers.
• Experience bringing existing embedded implementations to production.
• Understanding of real-time or safety-critical embedded systems.
