Software Engineer (Automotive Embedded Systems)

CIeNET International•Santa Clara, CA

About The Position

Job Duties Apply industry-standard software development methodologies to design, program, and test automotive, mobile, and embedded software based on system architecture and requirements specifications. Review and analyze high-level software designs and test plans; interpret software and system requirements and develop corresponding low-level design specifications for implementation and testing. Implement software designs into high-quality code following architectural guidelines and applying modern algorithms, tools, and programming techniques. Integrate, optimize, and debug third-party software modules, and customize and port software to designated hardware platforms, mobile devices, and automotive systems. Develop automated test scripts and test configurations using XML, Python, and other scripting languages to enhance testing efficiency and coverage. Program, debug, and execute automated test suites across multiple target platforms, including automotive systems and mobile devices. Apply Test-Driven Development (TDD) methodologies to design test plans, test cases, and test scripts; perform software verification phases including Unit, Functional, Integration, Regression, Stability, and Performance testing. Follow established development processes and quality standards; generate and monitor software quality metrics such as code coverage and performance benchmarks. Prepare detailed status updates and communication reports for project teams and management, documenting progress, risks, and issue resolutions. Report software defects and anomalies using issue-tracking systems (e.g., Jira, RTC), providing detailed failure logs and supporting information to assist in root-cause analysis and resolution. Configure and maintain software development tools, hardware test devices, test benches, and automotive test environments, including CAN/LIN/Ethernet-AVB diagnostic tools and related equipment. Knowledge and Skills Applied Computer Science fundamentals, software development lifecycle, and software testing methodologies. Embedded operating systems including Android, QNX, and Linux. Android and automotive infotainment frameworks, mobile and in-vehicle application software. Automotive communication networks and protocols, including CAN, LIN, MOST, and Ethernet-AVB, and use of related testing tools. Embedded software systems including telematics, navigation (GPS/Maps), connectivity (WiFi, Bluetooth, Cellular), multimedia systems, and in-vehicle applications. Automated testing frameworks, simulation tools, and processes for converting manual tests to automated test suites across multiple software versions and releases. Programming and scripting languages, including Python, Java, C, XML, and Bash/UNIX shell. Software verification phases including Unit, Coverage, Functional, Integration, Regression, Stability, and Performance testing. Software version control, issue tracking, build systems, and analysis tools. Experience with microservices, RESTful APIs, distributed systems, and data processing pipelines. Familiarity with cloud platforms, HPC/parallel computing, and performance optimization techniques. Email resume to CieNet Technologies Inc.: [email protected]
