embedded software engineer

Role- embedded software engineer Location: Aptiv Indiana Technical Center - Carmel, Indiana ( 100% onsite ) Experience Level: Senior (10+ Years) 2 rounds of interview: Virtual Work authorization: US Citizen, Green Card holder , H4 Client: Aptiv Candidate Pay: $75/HR W2 Position Summary Aptiv is seeking a Senior Embedded Software Engineer to support an ADP (Advanced Development Program) focused on delivering the initial software baseline for an AUTOSAR software-only release. In this role, you will work closely with the Software Architect and AUTOSAR Expert to develop foundational embedded software building blocks that will integrate into a larger AUTOSAR-based system. This position emphasizes strong embedded C skills, system-level understanding, and the ability to design robust software components that can be cleanly integrated by AUTOSAR specialists. The engineer will be instrumental in defining and bringing up the early software framework that enables downstream AUTOSAR configuration and feature development. Key Responsibilities Develop initial embedded C software that forms the foundational building blocks of an AUTOSAR-based software release. Collaborate with the SW Architect to define architecture-aligned module behavior, interfaces, and integration strategy. Work closely with the AUTOSAR Expert to ensure developed modules are structured and abstracted in a way that supports smooth AUTOSAR integration. Implement system functionality such as power management logic, diagnostic handling (UDS), communication services, and internal software infrastructure. Support system-level analysis, debugging, and issue resolution across early prototypes and internal test builds. Develop and analyze CAN communication behavior using CANalyzer/CANoe. Support development and analysis of SENT (SAE J2716) communication interface / device driver for bench prototype hardware. Participate in unit tests, static analysis, and internal verification activities. Utilize cross-compilers, debuggers, and embedded development tools during software build-up. Follow Aptiv development processes including ASPICE and basic functional safety expectations (ISO 26262). Work efficiently with global team members and contribute to early-phase program planning, reviews, and bring-up activities. Required Qualifications Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or equivalent. 10+ years of experience developing embedded software in C. Strong background with 16/32-bit microcontrollers (TriCore, S32, Renesas, Cypress, etc.). Proven experience developing embedded building-block modules (state management, communication abstractions, diagnostics, power modes, etc.). Understanding of AUTOSAR concepts, with the ability to develop AUTOSAR-ready software (hands-on integration experience is helpful but not required). Experience with UDS, diagnostics workflows, and automotive communication protocols (CAN). Proficiency with compilers, debuggers, and software build systems. Demonstrated experience with static analysis, unit testing, and verification processes. Strong debugging and system analysis skills. Exposure to ASPICE and general automotive development process expectations. Awareness of ISO 26262 functional safety basics. Optional / Preferred Skills Experience with occupant sensing systems or airbag domain software. Prior work on early-phase prototype or advanced development programs. Familiarity with functional safety work products (FMEA, FMEDA). 3B Staffing LLC
