Staff Embedded Software Engineer

Responsibilities

• Act as design responsible engineer for a vehicle program that includes controllers for: Traction Control, Actuator Control, IO Control, Sensor Control, and Functional Safety Firmware.
• Define technical direction for embedded software architecture, coding standards, and system interfaces.
• Review electrical schematics, direct I/O mapping, and work with hardware engineers to ensure firmware and hardware are well-integrated.
• Debug complex issues using ARM JTAG/ETM systems and other tools.
• Develop safety-critical code in compliance with MISRA C or similar standards.
• Use data intense sensors such as 3D LIDARs and Cameras to create 'Virtual Bumper' systems to achieve PL=D ratings (Roughly ASIL-C equivalent) on microprocessors such as i.MX-6 series.
• Create and maintain documentation including APIs, state diagrams, and test matrices.
• Plan, implement, and execute firmware test procedures across multiple levels of vehicle integration.
• Own specifications for Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing systems and support test automation.
• Establish and maintain a Continuous Integration (CI) framework for embedded software.

Qualifications

• 8–12+ years of experience developing embedded software in a product-focused environment.
• Deep expertise with microcontrollers (ARM Cortex-M preferred), low-level drivers, and real-time control systems.
• Strong experience with debugging tools (JTAG, ETM, logic analyzers, oscilloscopes).
• Experience with safety-critical software development standards (e.g., MISRA C, ISO 26262).
• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics and work across hardware/software boundaries.
• Strong architecture and system-level thinking — ability to design firmware systems that scale and integrate well.
• Experience with RTOS systems for safety critical applications.
• Familiarity with CI/CD for embedded systems (Github Actions).
• Excellent communication skills and a track record of mentoring and technical leadership.
