Job Description

As a Software Engineer with a focus on the embedded systems on the Tools & Infrastructure team you will be responsible for delivering high quality systems software spanning deeply embedded firmware libraries to code generation and tooling. You will solve problems inherent to complex communications networks such as reliability, testability, extensibility, and developer ease of use. Tools & Infra embedded software engineers use creative software engineering techniques at both the tooling (i.e. code generation) and firmware (i.e. c libraries) levels to implement communications standards where available and design custom protocols when necessary. Tools & Infra embedded software engineers also develop high quality systems and frameworks that enable application developers to write reliable actor based, concurrent, real-time applications. Be part of an innovative engineering team bringing modern software development tooling and practices into the world of embedded systems.

Responsibilities

What you’ll be able to do:

  • Design tools and development practices that leverage modern software engineering techniques and best practices
  • Develop code generation systems and libraries to leverage communication IDLs and statemachine DSLs
  • Develop portable and extensible firmware according to best practices and MISRA-C
  • Develop systems and frameworks to bring embedded systems engineering into the 21st century
  • Verify and profile systems in terms of developer experience, build time, memory overhead, and runtime
  • Write tests for all aspects of your systems
  • Provide detailed and complete design and implementation documentation

Qualifications

The minimum requirements we seek:

  • BS or MS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering or equivalent degree
  • A minimum of 5 years developing firmware for automotive or mission critical systems
  • Proficiency with both embedded C and high level programming languages such as Python
  • Strong understanding of real-time operating system fundamentals, including schedulers, concurrency, and memory management
  • Experience with one or more of code generation, middleware, and communications protocol implementation
  • Experience implementing event oriented systems
  • Experience with XML and other interchange formats
  • Working knowledge of git
  • Excellent leadership, communication and teamwork skills

Preferred Requirements :

  • Familiarity with automotive safety standards and how they apply to hardware and software
  • Experience designing bootloaders and or other reprogramming firmware
  • Experience with safety rated systems
  • Experience with automotive communications and diagnostic protocols such as UDS and DoIP
  • Experience with DBC or ARXML descriptions
  • Experience with Python, C, and Rust
