Software Engineer #1066139
Position Description:
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. Supplier Screening Guidance: Please prioritize candidates with substantial hands-on embedded software development, Embedded C, MATLAB/Simulink, and embedded testing experience. Candidates whose background is primarily general software development, web/application development, or software testing without embedded development experience should not be submitted.
 
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 continuous improvement of embedded software development, debugging, and testing processes
