Description

Develop and integrate embedded software for prototype electronic control units (ECUs) and electrical subsystems. Collaborate with cross-functional teams including electrical, mechanical, and systems engineers to define and implement prototype architectures. Work cross-functionally with designers, engineers, and fabrication teams to develop functional electronics and mechatronic prototypes. Design and validate hardware interfaces for sensors, actuators, and communication modules. Support rapid prototyping cycles by creating modular, scalable, and testable embedded solutions. Support the design and development of prototype electronic circuit systems and components. Conduct system-level testing, debugging, and validation in lab and vehicle environments. Execute the writing and testing of electrical systems and subsystems, including EMI/EMF mitigation, and integrate prototype systems into production hardware and software. Document design decisions, software architecture, and test results to support knowledge transfer and future development. Support demonstrations of prototype systems for senior leadership reviews, research showcases, and media events. Stay informed on emerging technologies and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives. Established and active employee resource groups Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Software Engineering, or related field. 3+ years of experience in embedded systems development, preferably in automotive or robotics applications. Proficiency in C/C++ and Python; experience with microcontroller platforms. Familiarity with automotive communication protocols (CAN, LIN, Ethernet). Experience with hardware/software integration and debugging tools (e.g., oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, debuggers). Strong analytical and problem-solving skills. Effective communication and collaboration abilities. Experience with prototype vehicle development and rapid iteration cycles. Familiarity with version control systems (e.g., Git) and CI/CD practices. Exposure to hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing environments.
