Embedded Software Engineer

Embedded Software EngineerPosition OverviewWe are seeking an experienced Embedded Software Engineer with strong hands-on experience in Embedded C, MATLAB/Simulink development and modeling, and embedded software testing.The ideal candidate will work at the intersection of embedded software and hardware, developing, debugging, integrating, and validating low-level software for embedded systems. The candidate should have demonstrated experience translating system and software requirements into embedded code and algorithms, developing MATLAB/Simulink models, and performing unit, integration, and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing.Experience with automotive embedded systems, including CAN, LIN, diagnostics, NVM, and low-level debugging, is strongly preferred.This position requires a hands-on engineer who can work closely with software, hardware, systems, controls, and test teams to identify issues, perform root-cause analysis, and deliver reliable embedded software solutions.Key ResponsibilitiesDesign, develop, debug, integrate, and maintain embedded software using Embedded C for hardware-connected and low-level applications.Develop and maintain MATLAB/Simulink models, algorithms, and supporting code based on system and software requirements.Translate system, functional, and software requirements into embedded software designs and implementable algorithms.Perform unit testing, integration testing, and system-level testing of embedded software.Develop and execute Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) test scenarios and analyze test results.Perform low-level debugging of embedded software and investigate software, hardware, and integration issues.Develop, integrate, and troubleshoot software involving CAN and LIN communication protocols.Support embedded systems involving diagnostics and NVM (Non-Volatile Memory) functionality.Analyze software and system test failures, perform root-cause analysis, and implement corrective actions.Collaborate with hardware, systems, controls, software, and test engineers to ensure successful software and hardware integration.Participate in requirements management, requirements traceability, test planning, defect tracking, and verification/validation activities.Support software integration, validation, and release activities across embedded system development cycles.Contribute to the continuous improvement of embedded software development, debugging, and testing processes.Skills RequiredEmbedded C developmentMATLAB/Simulink development and modelingEmbedded software developmentEmbedded software testingUnit
