Thermal Systems Firmware Integration Engineer

Responsibilities

• Own end-to-end firmware integration and characterization of cabin temperature, humidity, solar, rain, and light sensing.
• Integrate and validate motorized air vents, including aiming, calibration, position accuracy, end-stop learning, and HMI alignment.
• Define sensor plausibility, validity, fault-detection, actuator interface, diagnostic trouble code, and self-test requirements.
• Design and execute firmware verification plans, review embedded C, support release sign-off, and investigate root causes using logs, CAN/LIN/Ethernet traces, and physical measurements.
• Support vehicle testing, including hot- and cold-weather campaigns, and drive issue closure through Jira and Jama workflows.
• Own climate-to-HMI interface specifications, command-to-response latency targets, technical documentation, and supplier coordination.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechatronics, Mechanical, Electrical, or Computer Engineering.
• At least 3 years of experience in embedded systems, firmware integration, or systems engineering.
• Strong understanding of sensors, actuators, motors, position feedback, and their interaction with embedded software.
• Proficiency reading and debugging C/C++ on embedded targets.
• Experience debugging across electrical, mechanical, and software domains and working with automotive CAN, LIN, and Ethernet protocols.
• Hands-on laboratory experience building test setups, instrumenting hardware, and generating test data.
• Preferred qualifications include a relevant master’s degree, HVAC or cabin climate experience, environmental or optical sensing integration, motorized air-vent experience, manufacturing diagnostics, UDS, DTC design, ISO 26262, Python, MATLAB, Vector tools, Jira, Confluence, Jama, and thermal or fluid-dynamics knowledge.

Benefits

• Immediate medical, dental, vision, and prescription drug coverage.
• Flexible family care days, paid parental leave, new-parent programs, subsidized backup childcare, adoption and surrogacy reimbursement, and fertility benefits.
• Vehicle discounts for employees and family members and management lease options.
• Tuition assistance and active employee resource groups.
