At least 3 years, * Minimum 3 years of experience in embedded software development using the C programming language.

 * Hands-on experience with 16-bit and/or 32-bit microcontrollers, with TriCore preferred but other architectures acceptable.
 * Proven experience developing software that runs directly on microcontrollers, focusing on low-level implementation.
 * Experience with CAN communication protocols, including implementation and analysis.
 * Exposure to AUTOSAR concepts and architecture, with understanding of how components fit into an AUTOSAR-based system.
 * Experience working in ASPICE-compliant development environments and producing related work products.
 * Strong debugging skills at both the embedded and system level, including use of debuggers and diagnostic tools.
 * Proficiency with embedded development tools such as cross-compilers and hardware debuggers.
 * Ability to support system-level analysis, integration, and issue resolution in a complex automotive platform.

Additional Skills & Qualifications

 * Experience integrating software into microcontrollers or preparing software for integration into ECU platforms.
 * Prior experience supporting early-phase or advanced development programs in automotive or similar domains.
 * Hands-on experience with CANalyzer and CANoe for communication analysis and testing.
 * Familiarity with SENT (SAE J2716) communication interfaces and development of related device drivers.
 * Understanding of basic ISO functional-safety principles applied to embedded software.
 * Exposure to modern automotive software architectures and AUTOSAR-based systems.
 * Interest in low-level embedded development with system-level impact and collaboration with architects and AUTOSAR specialists., Individual compensation offered for this position within this range will depend on many factors, including qualifications, skills, relevant experience, job knowledge, geographic location, internal equity, and other pertinent job-related factors.

## Description

* Develop embedded C software that serves as the foundational building blocks of a platform-based software system.
 * Collaborate closely with the Software Architect to define module behavior, software interfaces, and integration strategies.
 * Design and implement power-management logic, diagnostic handling, communication services, and internal software infrastructure.
 * Support system-level analysis, debugging, and issue resolution across embedded and platform components.
 * Develop and analyze CAN communication behavior using tools such as CANalyzer and CANoe.
 * Support the development and analysis of SENT (SAE J2716) communication interfaces and device drivers for bench prototype hardware.
 * Execute unit testing, perform static analysis, and carry out internal software verification activities.
 * Use cross-compilers, debuggers, and other embedded development tools during software development and system bring-up.
 * Produce ASPICE work products and follow structured automotive software development processes.
 * Apply basic ISO functional-safety principles during software design and implementation.
 * Collaborate with global engineering teams during platform planning, design reviews, software integration, and system bring-up.
 * Contribute to early-phase and advanced development programs, ensuring robust integration into microcontroller and ECU platforms.
