Job description

The Propulsion Base Software Core Development Engineer is responsible for contributing to the development of embedded software for EE/core and propulsion control modules. This role involves software requirements analysis, design, development, integration, and validation of base software components. The engineer will actively participate in technical reviews, collaborate across teams and suppliers, and ensure delivery of high-quality, standards-compliant software. Experience in low-level driver development, AUTOSAR-based systems, and virtualization methodologies is highly desirable.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, develop, and integrate embedded low-level driver software for ICE propulsion and electrified powertrain control modules.
• Implement and optimize hardware interface drivers for peripherals such as SPI, I2C, UART, ADCs, timers, PWM, and driver circuits (e.g., HSD/LSD, H-Bridge).
• Contribute to MCAL integration and development of complex device drivers aligned with AUTOSAR architecture.
• Analyze software requirements and translate them into scalable design and robust implementation.
• Perform hardware-software integration including interpreting schematics, validating electrical interfaces, and supporting hardware bring-up.
• Debug and resolve complex embedded system issues using tools such as Lauterbach, oscilloscopes, and logic analyzers.
• Optimize embedded software for real-time performance, deterministic behavior, and efficient memory utilization on multicore microcontrollers.
• Collaborate with Base Software Architecture teams to align with AUTOSAR, RTE integration, and system-level design.
• Conduct and participate in reviews of requirements, design documents, source code, and test plans.
• Ensure compliance with automotive software standards and processes including MISRA-C, ASPICE, and ISO 26262.
• Develop and execute software verification strategies including unit, integration, and system-level validation (white box, black box, gray box).
• Support virtualization and simulation-based development methodologies within the software lifecycle.
• Create and maintain technical documentation including design specifications, interface documentation, and test plans.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (systems, hardware, validation, calibration, and suppliers) to ensure seamless integration.
• Drive defect resolution, root-cause analysis, and continuous improvement activities.
• Support vehicle integration, software bring-up, and production readiness activities.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field
• Minimum 5 years of related experience
• Experience with embedded C/C++ software development experience in a real-time operating system (RTOS) environment.
• Experience in Vector/ETAS/AUTOSAR Basic Software configuration (OS, MCAL, IOHWAB, FEE, WDG, etc.).
• Hands-on experience with low-level driver development and microcontroller-based systems.
• Experience with multicore microprocessors and strong ability to interpret hardware schematics.
• Understanding of Functional Safety concepts (ISO 26262).
• Experience with development tools including compilers, emulators, Lauterbach debuggers, and automation scripting.
• Experience in software verification and validation including white box, black box, and gray box testing.
• Familiarity with automotive software quality standards such as MISRA-C.
• Strong understanding of hardware interfaces such as SPI, I2C, UART, SENT, ADCs, timers, I/O, and communication peripherals.
• Experience with hardware-software integration and debugging using oscilloscopes and logic analyzers.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and debugging skills.
• Ability to adapt to changing environments with minimal impact on productivity.
• Strong communication skills, both verbal and written, and ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master’s degree in Engineering (Electrical, Computer, or related discipline).
• Academic or project experience in programs such as Formula SAE or SAE EcoCar.
• Experience with automotive data acquisition and analysis tools such as ETAS, INCA, CANoe, or CANalyzer.
• Hands-on experience with automotive microcontrollers (e.g., Infineon AURIX, NXP, or similar).
• Strong understanding of propulsion systems including internal combustion engines, hybrid systems, battery electric vehicles, and vehicle subsystems.
• Experience working in multidisciplinary engineering teams.
• Exposure to simulation, virtualization, SIL/HIL, or model-based development environments.
• Experience with Electrobit EB tresos Studio MCAL configuration.
• Experience with advanced peripherals such as GTM, PWM, high-speed timers, and ADC synchronization.
• Experience supporting hardware bring-up, early software enablement, and production software delivery.
