Job Description:

Embedded Software Engineer

Position Overview

We are seeking an experienced Embedded Software Engineer with strong hands-on experience in Embedded C, MATLAB/Simulink development and modeling, and embedded software testing.

The ideal candidate will work at the intersection of embedded software and hardware, developing, debugging, integrating, and validating low-level software for embedded systems. The candidate should have demonstrated experience translating system and software requirements into embedded code and algorithms, developing MATLAB/Simulink models, and performing unit, integration, and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing.

Experience with automotive embedded systems, including CAN, LIN, diagnostics, NVM, and low-level debugging, is strongly preferred.

This position requires a hands-on engineer who can work closely with software, hardware, systems, controls, and test teams to identify issues, perform root-cause analysis, and deliver reliable embedded software solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, debug, integrate, and maintain embedded software using Embedded C for hardware-connected and low-level applications.
• Develop and maintain MATLAB/Simulink models, algorithms, and supporting code based on system and software requirements.
• Translate system, functional, and software requirements into embedded software designs and implementable algorithms.
• Perform unit testing, integration testing, and system-level testing of embedded software.
• Develop and execute Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test scenarios and analyze test results.
• Perform low-level debugging of embedded software and investigate software, hardware, and integration issues.
• Develop, integrate, and troubleshoot software involving CAN and LIN communication protocols.
• Support embedded systems involving diagnostics and NVM (Non-Volatile Memory) functionality.
• Analyze software and system test failures, perform root-cause analysis, and implement corrective actions.
• Collaborate with hardware, systems, controls, software, and test engineers to ensure successful software and hardware integration.
• Participate in requirements management, requirements traceability, test planning, defect tracking, and verification/validation activities.
• Support software integration, validation, and release activities across embedded system development cycles.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of embedded software development, debugging, and testing processes.

Important Supplier Screening Guidance

The customer is specifically seeking candidates with a strong embedded software engineering background.

Primary Experience to Prioritize

Candidates should have substantial hands-on experience with:

• Embedded C
• MATLAB/Simulink
• Embedded software testing
• Hands-on embedded software development

Candidates should also be evaluated for experience with:

• CAN
• LIN
• Diagnostics
• NVM
• HIL testing
• Low-level debugging
• Requirements management
• Algorithm development
• Hardware/software integration

The successful candidate should be able to demonstrate actual hands-on experience:

• Developing and debugging embedded code
• Working with MATLAB/Simulink
• Translating requirements into algorithms and software
• Validating embedded software through unit, integration, system, and/or HIL testing

Please do not prioritize or submit candidates whose experience is primarily general software development, web development, application development, or software testing without substantial hands-on embedded software development experience.
