Job description

Job Summary:

We are looking for a hands-on Software Architect / Senior Software Engineer to lead the technical direction and deliver high-quality embedded software for an Automotive Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) ECU. This role will drive architecture decisions, improve platform stability and software quality, and actively contribute to design, implementation, integration, and issue resolution across the full product lifecycle.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Own and evolve the software architecture for the IPC ECU platform, including module boundaries, interfaces, and integration strategy.
  • Design, develop, and maintain production embedded software in C (and supporting tools/scripts in Python as needed).
  • Lead technical decision-making for new features, defect fixes, and platform improvements with focus on quality, performance, and maintainability.
  • Perform system-level debugging and root-cause analysis of complex issues (timing, memory, startup, watchdog, communication, NVM, diagnostics, etc.).
  • Drive best practices for coding standards, design reviews, code reviews, and integration readiness to reduce defect injection.
  • Collaborate with Systems, Validation, Manufacturing, and Program teams to align requirements, delivery scope, and risk mitigation.
  • Support integration and releases across product variants; help stabilize builds and resolve high-priority issues quickly.
  • Mentor engineers and uplift team capability through hands-on guidance and technical leadership.
  • Produce clear technical documentation (architecture notes, design decisions, runbooks) to improve continuity and reduce dependency on tribal knowledge.


Required Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science / Electronics (or equivalent experience).
  • 10+ years of embedded software development experience, including technical leadership/ownership of complex components.
  • Strong proficiency in Embedded C, debugging, and software design for real-time systems.
  • Experience delivering software for automotive ECUs (instrument cluster experience is a plus).
  • Strong problem-solving skills with ability to lead investigations end-to-end and drive closure.


Preferred Skills:

  • AUTOSAR Classic exposure and configuration workflows (Vector DaVinci or similar).
  • MCU/platform experience: Infineon Traveo II and/or Renesas families.
  • Diagnostics (UDS, DTC handling), NVM strategy (NvM/FEE/FLS concepts), flashing/reflash flows, bootloader/security concepts.
  • Experience with CI/build systems, integration branching strategies, and release discipline
