• Perform vehicle-level diagnostics, including CAN analysis and log investigations, to identify and resolve root causes of system issues.
• Support validation of features such as Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB), Lane Keeping Assistance (LKA), Lane Centering, and other driver assistance functions.
• Investigate sensor, radar, camera, network communication, and software interaction issues that affect ADAS and Active Safety performance.
• Evaluate the impact of sensor packaging, mounting locations, calibration requirements, environmental influences, and vehicle architecture on ADAS system performance.
• Support software release management, variant management, feature enablement, and software configuration activities across multiple vehicle platforms and product classes.
• Collaborate with global engineering teams and suppliers to resolve software defects, integration issues, and launch blockers, and to align on technical decisions.
• Support issue management through defect tracking systems, providing clear technical recommendations and corrective actions for identified problems.
• Create and maintain technical documentation, including software baseline records, software bills of materials (BOMs), variant documentation, integration guides, and validation reports.
• Define and execute validation and testing plans for ADAS and Active Safety features, including HIL, SIL, and vehicle testing environments where applicable.
• Support vehicle integration activities throughout development, validation, launch, and continuous improvement phases, ensuring successful program milestones and validation gates.
• Drive timely root cause analysis and issue resolution to improve ADAS feature maturity, software stability, and overall system performance.
• Effectively manage software variants, configurations, and baseline implementation across different vehicle platforms and product classes.
• Provide practical engineering recommendations that improve vehicle performance, quality, safety, and customer experience.
• Work across hardware, software, and vehicle systems, influencing stakeholders without direct authority and driving cross-functional technical decisions.
• Support product roadmap alignment, regulatory compliance considerations, and launch readiness activities for ADAS and Active Safety programs.

Essential Skills

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, Mechatronics, or a related field.
• 2–5 years of experience in automotive embedded systems, vehicle electronics, software integration, system validation, or ADAS development.
• Strong understanding of vehicle communication networks, including CAN, Ethernet, LIN, and UDS diagnostics.
• Hands-on experience using network and diagnostics tools such as CANoe, CANalyzer, Vehicle Spy, Wireshark, or similar analysis tools.
• Experience with software configuration management, software baselines, and release processes in an automotive or commercial vehicle environment.
• Working knowledge of C and C++ for embedded software, along with practical experience in Python for scripting or analysis tasks.
• Experience with JIRA or similar defect and issue management tools to track and resolve software and system problems.
• Strong debugging, troubleshooting, and root cause analysis skills applied to complex software, sensor, and vehicle-level issues.
• Ability to work independently, quickly become productive, and operate effectively in a fast-paced engineering environment.
• Industry background in automotive, commercial vehicles, ADAS, autonomous driving, active safety, or advanced electronics.
• Experience working with OEMs or Tier-1 suppliers in the automotive or commercial vehicle sector.
• Comfortable working across hardware, software, and vehicle systems, with proven experience in system-level integration rather than component-only focus.
