Embedded Software Engineer

The business is recruiting an Embedded Software Engineer to support a major vehicle development programme, replacing an existing platform with a new electric vehicle platform.

You will develop and integrate production-intent Embedded software, turning stakeholder requirements into vehicle functionality and control systems. This is a hands-on engineering role covering model-based development, software implementation, systems integration, verification and vehicle testing.

You will work with MATLAB/Simulink, Embedded C/C++ and vehicle communication technologies, supporting the software through model, software, hardware-in-the-loop and vehicle-based testing. The position also offers involvement in vehicle commissioning, calibration, functional safety and Embedded cybersecurity., * Develop Embedded control software for an electric vehicle application.

• Use MATLAB/Simulink and model-based development techniques to implement vehicle functionality.
• Translate stakeholder requirements into production-quality Embedded software.
• Integrate software into a new vehicle platform and support production deployment.
• Use software verification tools to assess code coverage and software structure.
• Implement and execute tests that demonstrate compliance with defined requirements.
• Support model-in-the-loop, software-in-the-loop, hardware-in-the-loop and vehicle testing.
• Assist with vehicle commissioning, calibration and debugging.
• Contribute to functional safety and cybersecurity analysis, implementation and testing.
• Work with the wider engineering team to meet tight, project-driven deadlines.
