Responsibilities

Effectively manage and lead software development for New Product Introduction (NPI).
Support the software design efforts of new sensors, circuit designs and products.
Ensure all design and validation activities meet the specified NPI needs and deadlines, as well as any internal quality and industry regulatory standards.
Act as the lead development and support engineer for all microprocessor based NPI products.
Support CAN communication protocols for both SAE J1939 and CiA CAN Open implementations.
Support customer requests for protocol updates.
Lead software DFMEA tasks and work with Electrical Engineers to mitigate both hardware and software failure modes and risks.
Support engineers with tools and CAN-based data collection to support product EMC testing.
Develop and maintain all software product documentation. This may include flowchart diagrams, state diagrams, UML diagrams, timing diagrams, CAN protocol descriptions, and software DFMEA reports.
Actively participate in cross functional teams to identify and address production and development issues.
Ensures teams take appropriate steps to trouble shoot problems as they arise in order to minimize defects on final manufactured parts and products.
Manage and lead the development of new testing, programming and validation hardware and software to support the manufacturing operation, as well as new product development, lab testing, field support and sales demonstrations on an as needed basis.
As required, help resolve customer related issues by recommending design approaches and solutions to technical problems affecting customers on routine matters and obtain assistance from peers, other departments and engineering management on critical issues.
