The team develops FreeRTOS, SafeRTOS, and bare metal environments for both QM and ASIL applications on a variety of embedded targets including ARM. Projects often impact all levels of the stack from the bootchain to applications and usually require cross-functional collaboration with other engineering teams. We have a strong passion for technical excellence and rigorous compliance with ASPICE and ISO26262. What you'll do: * Support the development and maintenance of an on-vehicle UDS (ISO 14229) diagnostic stack running as a Linux userspace application on an embedded ARM-based compute platform, working alongside the subsystem owner * Develop and maintain embedded C++ software running in Linux userspace on ARM-based compute platforms, contributing to a real-time capable HLOS environment * Drive a test-first mindset - routinely designing and implementing unit, integration, and bench-level tests to ensure subsystems are well validated end-to-end * Own specific modules or subsystems - responsible for both design and implementation, producing code that is clean, well-tested, and built for long-term maintainability * Debug complex system-level issues involving IPC frameworks, network stacks, and hardware peripherals, escalating to more senior staff when appropriate * Perform code reviews within the team, ensuring algorithmic correctness, robust edge case handling, and adherence to coding standards * Collaborate with other engineering teams to understand system requirements and incorporate them into well-architected software designs that account for system-level dependencies * Manage competing priorities across multiple implementation tasks, proactively communicating blockers or risks to senior staff * Produce clear documentation for diagnostic workflows, test procedures, and integration notes; begin mentoring junior team members in the diagnostic domain as experience grows ## Related Videos - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [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) - [Docker Compose: Rediscovered](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1978-docker-compose-rediscovered) - [The best of two worlds - Bringing enterprise-grade Linux to the vehicle](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/67-the-best-of-two-worlds-bringing-enterprise-grade-linux-to-the-vehicle) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) - [Docker build without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100114-docker-build-without-docker) ## Related Articles - [How software is steering vehicle technology](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/515-how-software-is-steering-vehicle-technology) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Where to Find Entry-Level Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/397-where-to-find-entry-level-software-engineering-jobs) - [Dev Digest 120 - Apple and peers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/455-dev-digest-120-apple-and-peers) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs)
