Responsibilities

• Design and tune control algorithms for embedded and real-time applications.
• Translate product and system requirements into software architectures, specifications, and control strategies.
• Develop production-quality C/C++ software for microcontroller-based platforms.
• Implement communication software aligned with applicable standards and engineering principles.
• Create and maintain software requirements, technical documentation, specifications, and requirements traceability.
• Build unit, integration, and system-level test strategies to verify software performance and reliability.
• Support system integration, troubleshooting, root-cause analysis, corrective actions, product deployment, and post-release issues.
• Participate in architecture, design, code, and safety reviews while supporting functional safety analyses, hazard mitigation, and safety mechanisms.
• Collaborate with systems, hardware, software, quality, and validation teams to improve coding standards, testing methodologies, and engineering processes.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
• 10+ years of embedded software and control systems development.
• Proficiency in C or C++ programming and embedded microcontroller-based platforms.
• Solid foundation in control theory and algorithm design, including PID control.
• Background implementing, testing, and validating control algorithms for embedded applications.
• Experience developing safety-critical products and applying functional safety processes throughout the product lifecycle.
• Thorough understanding of software verification and validation methodologies.
• Effective analytical, debugging, problem-solving, written, and verbal communication skills.
• Functional safety standards such as ISO 26262, IEC 61508, ISO 13849, UL 1998, or work with ASIL/SIL-rated products.
• Background in battery management systems (BMS), motor controls, power electronics, energy or fuel cell systems, robotics, or industrial automation.
• MATLAB/Simulink, model-based development, or real-time operating systems (RTOS).
• Embedded communication protocols including CAN, Ethernet, SPI, I2C, or UART.
• Familiarity with FMEA, Fault Tree Analysis (FTA), Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment (HARA), ASPICE, MISRA C/C++, automated testing frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, or software quality tools.
