Responsibilities Develop and maintain embedded software in C/C++ for microcontrollers, Linux, and real‑time operating systems. Implement and debug software in real‑time or near real‑time environments. Develop user‑space applications and interfaces on embedded Linux platforms. Interface with hardware through drivers, communication buses, and I/O subsystems. Support system bring‑up, debugging, and performance optimization. Analyze system performance, timing, and resource utilization. Implement control algorithms in C/C++ and Simulink‑generated code. Develop and tune control strategies. Model mechanical, hydraulic, and electronic systems. Develop and test control performance through modeling, bench testing, and vehicle testing. Support validation through MIL, SIL, and HIL testing. Support design, selection, and integration of electronic components. Communicate system requirements effectively with cross‑functional design teams. Assist in hardware selection to meet I/O and computational requirements. Define wiring and connector requirements to support harness builds. Troubleshoot and resolve system and electrical issues. Meet requirements for obtaining U.S. Government security clearance. Demonstrate strong problem‑solving and analytical skills in complex system environments. Communicate effectively across multidisciplinary teams. Maintain high attention to detail and commitment to quality. Exhibit initiative, adaptability, and a strong work ethic. Work independently and collaboratively in fast‑paced project settings. Qualifications BS or MS in Automotive, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Mechatronic Systems. 6+ years of relevant engineering experience. Desired Specialized Skills and Knowledge Embedded software development in C/C++ on microcontrollers, Linux, or RTOS‑based platforms. Familiarity with build systems (CMake, Yocto, Buildroot). Experience with RTOS platforms (VxWorks, QNX, FreeRTOS), including scheduling, IPC, and timing constraints. Experience writing and debugging Linux kernel‑space drivers. Knowledge of networking protocols (Ethernet, TCP/IP, UDP, DDS, EtherCAT, TSN). Model‑Based Development tools (MotoTron/MotoHawk, Raptor, OpenECU, dSPACE). Familiarity with MIL standards (MIL‑STD‑498, MIL‑STD‑461, MIL‑STD‑882E, DO‑178C, DO‑254). Automotive communication protocols (CAN, LIN, J1939, XCP/CCP) and related tools (Vector, Kvaser, INCA). Experience with actuator controls (motors, valves) and by‑wire systems. Understanding of electric and hybrid vehicle architectures. Vehicle and system troubleshooting experience. Experience with electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic system design and simulation. Data acquisition hardware and software experience. Physical Demands Position requires light physical activity. Work Schedule Daytime schedule, Monday through Friday, with infrequent night or weekend work to support project demands. Some travel or on‑site customer support may be required. Pay Range $91,500.00 – $148,100.00. The above pay range reflects the minimum and maximum target pay for the position across all U.S. locations.
