Job description

  • Ramp up on the existing codebase, build pipeline, and regression testing
  • Develop and maintain the software stack for hardware verification and validation of RTOS-based automotive ECUs
  • Perform board bring-up, verification, and debugging of automotive electronics
  • Debug and triage across the software and hardware stack, and work with multiple teams to resolve issues
  • Use build systems, device trees, and kernel driver development (essential)
  • Communicate clearly with peers, stakeholders, customers, technical leaders, and OEMs/ODMs
  • Collaborate with architecture, hardware, and software teams on debugging and validation
  • Train and guide junior engineers
  • Provide weekly status, risk, and decision documentation to program leadership

Requirements

The lead owns software and validation work on RTOS-based automotive ECUs, including board bring-up and debugging across hardware and software.

The role requires 8+ years of embedded software experience on microcontrollers., * Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field

  • 8+ years of embedded software experience on microcontrollers such as Infineon, NXP, or ARM
  • Solid understanding of FreeRTOS or SafeRTOS fundamentals: tasks, scheduling, interrupts, synchronization, and memory management
  • Experience bringing up or configuring at least one RTOS-based platform
  • Proficiency with embedded debug tools (JTAG/SWD, Lauterbach or similar, in-circuit debuggers, flashing tools) and lab equipment (oscilloscope, logic analyzer, multimeter, power supplies)
  • C/C++ for bare-metal and RTOS, plus Python or Rust
  • Board bring-up and low-level drivers for SPI, I2C, UART, GPIO, timers, ADC/DAC, and external memories
  • Automotive diagnostics and flashing (UDS, CAN, automotive Ethernet)

Preferred

  • Platform and BSP development for MCU-based ECUs, including clocking, device configuration, and hardware abstraction layers
  • Experience with hardware components such as sensors and gate drivers
  • Familiarity with the Infineon SDK and toolchain
  • ISO 26262 functional safety awareness
