ADAS Software Development & Test Engineer (Mid–Senior Level)

Mobis North America•Plymouth, MI

11h•Onsite

About The Position

This role plays a key part in the development, integration, validation, and launch of next-generation, mass-production ADAS features, combining cutting-edge software development with real-world vehicle testing to directly impact driver assistance technologies. The role includes supporting model-based feature development, implementing customer-driven enhancements, and performing rigorous validation through MIL/SIL testing. It also involves ECU integration, vehicle instrumentation, and end-to-end validation, including in-vehicle testing and end-of-line verification. The work is typically distributed as approximately 30% software development, 20% software integration, and 50% validation (including simulation, in-vehicle testing, hardware-in-the-loop test benches, and end-of-line validation at production plants). The ideal candidate is hands-on, detail-oriented, and thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative environment. The candidate is comfortable working across the full software development lifecycle, from algorithm modeling and autocode integration to in-vehicle debugging, performance tuning, and customer acceptance while demonstrating strong ownership and a focus on delivering high-quality, production-ready solutions in ADAS, ECU integration, and MIL/SIL/HIL and vehicle-level testing.

Requirements

Strong understanding of the automotive software development lifecycle and testing methodologies.
Proficiency in automotive communication protocols, including CAN, CAN FD, and Automotive Ethernet.
Hands-on experience using Vector tools such as CANoe, CANape and CANalyzer.
Experience using dSPACE ControlDesk or equivalent development and validation tools.
Proficiency in one or more programming languages: C/C++, Python, MATLAB/Simulink.
Strong system-level debugging and root-cause analysis skills across software and hardware domains.
Proven ability to work effectively in cross-functional, fast-paced development environments.
