You will collaborate closely with system architects, hardware engineers, and software development teams to deliver reliable, scalable automotive control solutions aligned with industry standards.

Key Responsibilities

1. Embedded Software Development & VCU Firmware

• Port, refactor, and optimize existing MATLAB/Simulink autogenerated VCU code into structured, maintainable C/C++.
• Develop and maintain safety-critical vehicle control software in accordance with AUTOSAR principles and relevant automotive standards.
• Implement and optimize embedded software components, including low-level drivers, middleware, and application layers as required.

2. Software Architecture & System Design

• Design and implement a modular, hardware-agnostic software architecture supporting multiple vehicle platforms.
• Enable vehicle-specific behavior through configurable parameters, including powertrain settings, actuator timing, and safety limits.
• Define software interfaces and maintain technical architecture documentation.
• Implement calibration and measurement functionality using XCP.
• Develop service diagnostics using UDS and OBD-II protocols, including Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) management.
• Support automotive diagnostics, troubleshooting, and system validation.
• Develop and maintain an x86-based simulation and mock environment for virtual testing and rapid prototyping.
• Implement automated unit testing to validate software functionality without requiring physical hardware.
• Debug complex embedded software issues, optimize performance, and improve system reliability.
• Participate in code reviews, testing, and validation activities.

5. Firmware Management & Updates

• Design and implement secure firmware flashing infrastructure using XCP with credential enforcement.
• Support Firmware Over-the-Air (FOTA) update capabilities and optional A/B partitioning.
• Ensure firmware update mechanisms are reliable, secure, and maintainable.

6. Vehicle Communication & System Integration

• Define and maintain CAN-based communication interfaces between the VCU firmware and GSM/telematics modules.
• Establish and maintain telemetry data contracts and communication protocols.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate embedded software with vehicle hardware and connected systems.
