Technical Mastery: o5+ years of deep expertise in Embedded Firmware & Real-Time Controls (ECUs, TCUs, HAL, BSPs, RTOS, and CAN/Ethernet protocols). o5+ years of hands-on experience in Connected Vehicle Platforms & Telematics (V2X pipelines, MQTT, OTA update systems, and edge telemetry). o2+ years of specialized experience in automotive cybersecurity (HSM, Secure Boot) and hardware testing/debugging utilizing HIL test beds and Vector tools (CANoe). oProven adherence to functional safety standards (ISO 26262 / ASIL) and coding standards (MISRA C/C++, AUTOSAR). Core Competencies: Strong communication skills to align cross-functional teams on complex architectural decisions; ability to "lead by doing" across coding, design, and execution; passion for mentoring and maximizing team potential. ## Description We are seeking an experienced, visionary, and hands-on Senior Software Engineer to play a pivotal role in the design, development, testing, and release of advanced software-defined vehicle platforms and embedded firmware solutions. In this role, you will partner with skilled developers and cross-functional engineering teams to drive our digital and vehicle engineering roadmap from concept to production., Embedded Firmware & Real-Time Controls Firmware Development: Design, code, test, and maintain real-time embedded firmware for automotive Electronic Control Units (ECUs), Telematics Control Units (TCUs), and microcontrollers. Low-Level Architecture: Implement device drivers, Hardware Abstraction Layers (HAL), bootloaders, and Board Support Packages (BSPs) across bare-metal, RTOS, FreeRTOS, and Linux environments. Bus Integration: Integrate complex automotive communication protocols including CAN, CAN-FD, LIN, Ethernet (100BASE-T1), and FlexRay. Functional Safety: Ensure software strictly complies with functional safety standards (ISO 26262 / ASIL) and coding guidelines (MISRA C/C++, AUTOSAR). Connected Vehicle Platforms & Telematics V2X Pipelines: Architect and implement TCU software to handle secure vehicle-to-cloud (V2X/V2C) data pipelines utilizing LTE/5G, GPS/GNSS, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi. IoT Messaging: Develop secure, lightweight IoT messaging protocols (e.g., MQTT, gRPC, Protobuf, HTTP/REST) for real-time vehicle telemetry and edge diagnostics. OTA & Edge Analytics: Architect reliable Over-The-Air (OTA) update systems with rollback capabilities and build edge data caching mechanisms to optimize cellular bandwidth. Testing, Security & Leadership Cybersecurity: Implement robust security safeguards including Hardware Security Modules (HSM), Secure Boot, end-to-end encryption (TLS), and key management. Validation & Debugging: Utilize Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test beds, oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and Vector tools (CANoe, CANalyzer) to debug low-level hardware/software interactions. Technical Mentorship: Lead from the front in Agile scrum ceremonies, mentor junior and offshore engineers, and foster a culture of innovation and engineering excellence. ## Related Videos - [Exploring the Power of gRPC-Gateway for Writing RESTful Services](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2072-exploring-the-power-of-grpc-gateway-for-writing-restful-services) - [Car's are Technology on Wheels - Impact of Software and IT Competence in Automotive](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/780-car-s-are-technology-on-wheels-impact-of-software-and-it-competence-in-automotive) - [Boosting OpenSearch Performance: gRPC Search in Action](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1964-boosting-opensearch-performance-grpc-search-in-action) - [Software defines the vehicle: Why customers and developers will love cars even more](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1114-software-defines-the-vehicle-why-customers-and-developers-will-love-cars-even-more) - [On developing smartphones on wheels](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/258-on-developing-smartphones-on-wheels) - [Boosting OpenSearch Performance: gRPC Search in Action](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1935-boosting-opensearch-performance-grpc-search-in-action) ## Related Articles - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [Fully Remote Software Engineer Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/447-fully-remote-software-engineer-jobs) - [What is Software Engineering?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/289-what-is-software-engineering) - [Software Engineer Career: Things You Should Know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/143-software-engineer-career-things-you-should-know) - [Best Countries for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/267-best-countries-for-software-engineers)
