About The Position

The Role: We’re seeking a Python Developer with strong experience building python-based scripts for templated C/C++ code generation, csv files and other file types as required, as well as Graphic User Interface (GUI) development and testing of these scripts. These python applications will be platform independent and can be deployed on local computers, servers, or virtual machines. Collaboration with embedded systems using C/C++ will be essential to develop a high-quality, portable and fully-tested features. You’ll be joining a multidisciplinary team that’s building robust, scalable, and secure systems that span full stack in automotive embedded software using state of the art tools and hardware. What You’ll do: Develop Python applications and scripts that will run locally, on a server, or a virtual machine. Generate embedded software in C/C++ for microcontrollers and edge devices (e.g., STM32, ESP32, or similar platforms) using python scripts and templating engines. Generate csv files and other file types via Python scripts by utilizing templates, in coordination with embedded software specialists and system designers. Design, maintain and test python scripts with templating engines (Jinja, Mako, etc) to generate embedded C/C++ code. Design, maintain and test python-based GUIs (based on Tkinter, PyQt or other libraries) to configure and generate embedded software. Contribute to system integration, bring-up, and testing of script-generated code. Collaborate across teams to ensure seamless deployment, OTA updates, monitoring, and diagnostics for the integrated C/C++ code.
