Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and integrate embedded software for advanced vehicle control systems using C/C++ and MATLAB/Simulink.
• Own vehicle-level software architecture and design, ensuring alignment with system and customer requirements.
• Translate system-level requirements into robust, testable embedded software designs and implementation plans.
• Support and contribute to simulation activities, including HIL and virtual simulation, to validate software behavior and performance.
• Participate in and support vehicle-level testing to verify embedded software integration and system functionality.
• Lead the software integration process from development through verification, validation, and production deployment.
• Apply model-based development practices using MATLAB/Simulink and related tools to create and refine control algorithms.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including systems engineering, hardware, and test teams, to ensure cohesive system performance.
• Interface directly with customers and suppliers to clarify requirements, discuss technical solutions, and resolve integration issues.
• Provide technical leadership and mentoring to other engineers, guiding design decisions and best practices in embedded software development.
• Use version control and configuration management tools to maintain code integrity and support collaborative development.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of development processes, including DevOps and CI/CD practices where applicable.
• Participate in software verification and validation activities, including reviews, unit testing, integration testing, and documentation.
• Apply knowledge of vehicle systems, vehicle controls, and embedded systems to ensure safe, reliable, and efficient software behavior.
• Support troubleshooting and root cause analysis for software and system issues discovered during simulation, testing, or field use.
