Job description

Work across embedded software development, functional safety (ISO 26262), architecture design, and system integration in a highly collaborative engineering environment.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement robust embedded software for ethernet switch, adhering to safety standards (ISO 26262 ASIL B) and coding guidelines (e.g., MISRA C)
• Derive and document software requirements and test specifications from system-level requirements, ensuring full traceability within the V-Model process
• Model and design software architecture using UML (e.g., PlantUML), defining component interfaces, state machines, and sequence diagrams
• Set up and maintain development environments (IDE, Build Systems) and automated test setups, including Unit Testing frameworks to ensure high code quality and coverage
• Conduct software integration testing and debugging on hardware-in-the-loop (HIL)
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (Hardware, System Engineering, Validation) to troubleshoot interdisciplinary problems and optimize system performance

Qualifications

• University degree in Computer Engineering, Electronics, Electrical Engineering, or a comparable field
• Minimum 9 years of hands‑on embedded software design and development, with at least 2‑3 years in automotive or safety‑critical domains
• Expert‑level C programming for for RTOS and bare‑metal development; Python skills for test automation are highly preferred
• Hardware & Debugging: Comfortable working with microcontrollers, sensors, and lab equipment; proficient with debugging/tracing tools (e.g., Lauterbach TRACE32, Vector CANoe, or JTAG/SWD)
• Proven experience with functional safety standards (ISO 26262, ASIL B) and automotive development processes (Automotive SPICE)
• Basic understanding of Ethernet stack protocols is a strong plus
• Excellent team player with strong problem‑solving and troubleshooting abilities
