Knowledge of ISO 26262 (Functional Safety).
Knowledge of ASPICE.
Knowledge of AUTOSAR standards.
Experience with static code analysis.
Experience with Model Advisor reviews.
Experience with Python for automation scripts.
Experience with reusable model templates.
Prac. In 2 coding lang. or adv. Prac. in 1 lang.
6+ years in IT
4+ years in development

Responsibilities

Design, develop, and implement embedded control systems for Body Control Modules (BCM), performing high-level analysis and design planning for new features supporting scalable production and next-gen Software-Defined Vehicle (SDV) architectures.
Partner with cross-functional stakeholders to capture system-level requirements and translate them into detailed functional/technical specifications for control algorithms and software modules, ensuring alignment with vehicle performance and safety goals.
Design, develop, and optimize control algorithms; implement AUTOSAR-compliant software components using C/C++, MATLAB (Stateflow/Simulink), and Python.
Lead test strategy design and execution, including MIL, SIL, and HIL simulations, plus unit/integration testing (e.g., Google Test).
Perform on-target validation using Vector CANoe and MULTI debugger.
Conduct root cause analysis of defects and implement robust fixes.
Ensure adherence to ISO 26262 (Functional Safety), ASPICE, and AUTOSAR standards.
Enforce quality checks such as static code analysis and Model Advisor reviews to maintain software reliability.
Identify development bottlenecks and implement Python-based automation scripts and reusable model templates to streamline workflows, boost efficiency, and reduce development cycle time.
