We’re looking for a strong automotive embedded engineer to join our team and help integrate supplier software into our vehicle systems. This is a great role for someone who enjoys working across both software and systems, and who’s comfortable learning new things.

•  Define network interfaces and communication protocols between in-house and supplier ECUs
•  Manage and trace requirements in both directions using JAMA
•  Diagnose and debug supplier ECUs and their interaction with in-house systems
•  Support cybersecurity topics, secure boot, and bootloader integration
•  Perform software integration, bring-up, testing, and issue resolution on benches, HIL systems, and vehicles
•  Support vehicle-level testing at proving grounds when required
•  Identify process inefficiencies and develop automation tools using LLM and scripting to improve team efficiency

You'll have...

•  Strong background in embedded systems and automotive software integration
•  Proficiency in C/C++ and Python
•  Hands-on experience with CAN, LIN, Ethernet, UDS, and Vector tools
•  Experience working with requirements management tools (JAMA), Jira, and Confluence
•  Basic understanding of Git and standard software development workflows (branching, PRs, code reviews)
•  Ability to quickly context-switch across multiple technical domains
•  Demonstrated ability to develop tools using AI and scripting to streamline workflows
•  Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
•  Willingness to travel to support vehicle testing and integration activities when needed
