# Embedded Software Engineer - Body Control Modules in Livonia

- **Company:** Energy Jobline
- **Location:** Livonia, MI, United States
- **Contract:** Permanent contract
- **Skills:** AUTomotive Open System Architecture (AUTOSAR), C++ (Programming Language), Communications Protocols, Software Debugging, Embedded Software, Python (Programming Language), MATLAB, Regression Testing, Release Management, Simulink, Stateflow, Systems Integration, Scripting, State Machines, Canoe Software
- **Published:** July 26, 2026
- **Apply:** https://www.energyjobline.com/job/embedded-software-engineer-body-control-modules-livonia-31250660

## About the Role

* MATLAB - Candidate should demonstrate hands-on experience using MATLAB/Simulink (including Stateflow) to model, design, and simulate embedded control algorithms for BCM features. Example: Building a Simulink state machine to model a vehicle lighting or door control feature, running Model-in-the-Loop (MIL) simulations to validate logic, and using Model Advisor checks to ensure modeling standards compliance before code .

 * Coding - Candidate should be able to write clean, efficient, and standards-compliant code for embedded automotive applications, including scripting for automation. Example: Developing a Python automation script to parse test logs and auto-generate pass/fail reports, reducing manual validation time during regression testing cycles.

 * C++ - Candidate should show proficiency writing and debugging C/C++ code for real-time, resource-constrained embedded targets, including implementing AUTOSAR software components. Example: Implementing a C++ AUTOSAR SWC (Software Component) for a BCM feature (e.g., power window control), integrating it via DaVinci Developer, and validating memory/timing constraints on target hardware.

 * Embedded Software - Candidate should demonstrate the full lifecycle of embedded software development - from requirements to implementation to on-target validation - for safety-critical automotive systems. Example: Taking a system-level requirement for a new BCM feature, translating it into a functional spec, implementing the control logic, and validating it through SIL/HIL testing using Vector CANoe before production release.

 * Embedded Systems - Candidate should understand the broader hardware-software interaction, real-time constraints, and communication protocols (CAN/LIN) governing embedded automotive systems. Example: Diagnosing a field issue where a BCM module intermittently fails to respond over CAN, performing root cause analysis using CANoe traces and the MULTI debugger, and implementing a fix that accounts for timing/interrupt behavior on the target ECU.
