About The Position

As a Senior Engineer Systems in our Research & Development team, you'll have the opportunity to merge creativity with your technical expertise by shaping the future of technology, driving groundbreaking projects, and bringing new ideas to life. This role is common in automotive electronics, semiconductors, or Tier-1 suppliers. It combines hardware knowledge (Ethernet PHY/Switch) with software expertise (drivers, protocol stacks, and system integration) to support customers implementing Automotive Ethernet (e.g., 100BASE-T1, 1000BASE-T1, TSN/AVB) in next-generation vehicles.

Requirements

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Electrical/Electronic Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or related field.
3+ years of experience in embedded software development or Application Engineering with strong focus on automotive networking.
Strong programming skills in C/C++ for embedded systems; Python for scripting and test automation.
In-depth knowledge of Automotive Ethernet protocols and stacks(SOME/IP, TCP/IP, UDP, PTP/TSN/AVB, MKA/MACsec,802.1CB/802.3DM/802.1DG).
Experience with AUTOSAR (Classic/Adaptive), Linux/RTOS, embedded development tools, and testing environments (e.g. Scope, Test center, logic analyzer...).
Good understanding of automotive software processes (ASPICE, ISO26262 functional safety, cybersecurity).
Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills; ability to explain complex technical topics to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Experience with FW and API support and are comfortable with ARM based platforms.

Nice To Haves

Hands-on experience with Automotive Ethernet projects is highly desired.
Customer-facing experience in semiconductor/IC companies.
Experience with domain controllers, zonal architectures, or Software-Defined Vehicles (SDV).
Linux driver development, team management, or additional languages skills

Responsibilities

Provide pre-sales and post-sales technical support for Automotive Ethernet products and solutions, including technical presentations, demonstrations, documentation, and troubleshooting.
Develop and customize automotive software solutions based on customer requirements (e.g., Ethernet drivers for switch, PHY, MAC, SerDes, PCS modules).
Support customers with product development, design-in, system integration, validation, and certification testing.
Analyze and resolve customer technical issues; provide on-site debugging and support when needed.
Collaborate with internal R&D, sales, marketing, and product teams to align on customer needs and drive business objectives.
Create technical collateral (application notes, reference designs, training materials) and conduct customer training.
Stay updated on Automotive Ethernet standards, protocols (SOME/IP,TCP/IP, UDP, gPTP/TSN/AVB, MKA/MACsec, 802.1CB/802.3DM/802.1DG), and industry trends (SDV, Zonal Architecture).
