Job Title: C/C++ Software Engineer
Experience Level: 10+ years
Location: Michigan
Interview: Video
Industry: Automotive Embedded Systems
Position: 1
Job Summary:
We are seeking a highly experienced and independent Expert Software Engineer to join our automotive embedded software team, focusing on the development of Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) systems. The ideal candidate will be responsible for end-to-end software development—from understanding requirements through to design, implementation, testing, and integration across various functional domains. You will work independently on complex software modules and collaborate cross-functionally with systems engineers, hardware teams, and validation engineers to deliver high-quality, production-grade embedded software for next-generation vehicle platforms.
• Independently analyze and interpret software requirements to define robust software designs.
• Develop and implement embedded software for various IPC features such as:
o Vehicle communication (CAN, LIN, Ethernet)
o Bootloader & flashing mechanisms
o System startup, shutdown, and power management
• Contribute to platform architecture, component abstraction, and middleware layer development.
• Work with cross-domain software (HMI, bootloader, communication stacks, diagnostics, etc.).
• Ensure compliance with automotive software standards (e.g., ASPICE, MISRA).
• Perform peer reviews, unit testing, and system integration support.
• Collaborate with Systems Engineering and Validation teams to clarify functionality and debug complex system-level issues.
• Participate in software configuration and change management using industry tools (e.g., Git, JIRA, DOORS).
Required Qualifications:
• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Engineering, or related field.
• 10+ years of experience in embedded C/C++ software development for automotive systems.
• Strong knowledge of automotive communication protocols (CAN, LIN, UDS).
• Proven experience in embedded real-time systems and RTOS.
• Ability to understand hardware schematics and debug issues involving MCU peripherals.
• Familiarity with IPC-related features like telltales, warnings, display management, and dimming.
• Experience working independently from requirements to design, implementation, and verification.
• Hands-on experience with software development tools (debuggers, logic analyzers, compilers).
• Exposure to ASPICE, MISRA, ISO 26262 (ASIL-B or higher preferred).
Preferred Skills:
• Experience with tools like Vector CANoe, DaVinci Configurator/Developer, EB tresos, or similar.
• Knowledge of bootloader development, flash memory management, and secure diagnostics.
• Familiarity with AUTOSAR architecture and software components.
Soft Skills:
• Strong problem-solving and analytical thinking.
• Proactive, self-motivated, and able to work with minimal supervision.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
• Comfortable working in a dynamic, fast-paced environment.
