Embedded Automotive Software information

What is the difference between Embedded Automotive Software vs Automotive Firmware Developer?

AspectEmbedded Automotive SoftwareAutomotive Firmware Developer
CredentialsBachelor's in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related; experience with embedded systemsBachelor's in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related; knowledge of firmware development
Work EnvironmentAutomotive OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, embedded system labsAutomotive electronics companies, embedded firmware teams
Industry UsageDesigning and integrating software for vehicle control units and infotainment systemsDeveloping low-level firmware for ECUs and sensors in vehicles
Search & Comparison IntentYesYes

Embedded Automotive Software professionals focus on developing comprehensive software solutions for vehicle systems, including control algorithms and user interfaces. Automotive Firmware Developers specialize in writing low-level firmware that directly interacts with hardware components. While both roles require embedded systems knowledge and work within the automotive industry, their focus areas differ—software integration versus hardware-level firmware development.

Job description

POSITION TITLE: Senior Controls and Automation Engineer

DEPARTMENT: Engineering

REPORTS TO: Engineering Manager

LOCATION: Viola


JOB SUMMARY:

A Senior Controls & Automation Engineer to design, build, and support custom automated test equipment, manufacturing systems, and embedded control solutions for powertrain development and production support.This role bridges industrial automation, embedded hardware/firmware, and system integration, supporting everything from robotic test cells and PLC-controlled machinery to ECU-integrated embedded devices and Windows-based engineering tools.


The ideal candidate is a hands-on engineer comfortable working across electrical design, firmware, PLCs, robotics, HMIs, and on-site commissioning of one-off and low-volume systems


ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:

Industrial Automation & Controls

  • Design, modify, and maintain automated test stands, endurance systems, and manufacturing equipment

  • Program and troubleshoot PLCs and HMIs for presses, test fixtures, and special-purpose machinery

  • Integrate industrial robots with presses and test systems, including interlocks and safety logic

  • Retrofit and modernize legacy equipment where original electronics or controls are obsolete

  • Support and repair custom, one-off automation equipment used in engineering and manufacturing


Embedded Hardware & Firmware

  • Design custom embedded control hardware for test systems and product prototypes

  • Develop firmware in C/C++ for microcontroller-based controllers

  • Implement CAN bus communication with ECUs and vehicle subsystems

  • Create embedded solutions for sensors, actuators, motor control, and data acquisition

  • Support prototype development through testing, iteration, and limited production readiness


Test Systems & Instrumentation

  • Develop automated engine and motorcycle test systems for endurance, EPA mileage accumulation, and performance testing

  • Build systems for dyno automation, robotic control, and long-duration unattended operation

  • Integrate sensors, cameras, and data acquisition hardware for mechanical and powertrain analysis

  • Develop data visualization and processing tools for test and lab environments


Software & Interfaces

  • Develop Windows-based engineering and test applications (Visual Studio / C#)

  • Interface off-the-shelf HMIs and custom hardware for operator control and remote monitoring

  • Support configuration and calibration tools for embedded and test systems


ECU & System Integration

  • Integrate and interface with automotive ECUs, including CAN messaging and control features

  • Support ECU feature development and experimentation for R&D projects

  • Work closely with engineering and manufacturing teams to support powertrain development

  • Reverse engineer CAN bus data in order to interface various ECUs with custom test equipment



QUALIFICATIONS:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Mechatronics, or equivalent experience

  • 5+ years experience in industrial automation, controls engineering, or custom machinery

  • Strong experience with:

    • PLC programming and industrial I/O

    • Embedded firmware development (C/C++)

    • Electrical schematics and hardware design, PCB layout. 

    • Sensors, actuators, motors, VFDs, and safety circuits

  • Hands-on experience commissioning and troubleshooting machines in real-world environments
